Welcome to the forum

The 07 Mustang GT that I drove the other day ticked too. These new ones use different injectors than the older ones did and they are louder.

Not to get you worrying, but a loose spark plug can also make a tick.

my 04 does it to. me and my buddy were sittin out by the truck last night and he said my truck was knockin. sounded like a lifter or something. I just told him to shut up he didnt know what he was talkin about and let him know its the injectors firing and it doesnt have lifters and push rods, its an OVC.
