Ticking noise

Got a weird ticking noise coming from the driver side on my 2002 F250. Not sure where to start or where to look.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

this video helped me in trying to diagnose the ticking on my 3v.

i would start by inspecting the exhaust manifolds and check your plugs just to rule them out

X2 on the exhaust manifold, look for missing nuts.

I have this ticking too on my driver's side. Not sure what it is but it doesn't seem to deteriorate my power that I've noticed. Subscribing.
