Fuel system click
A few people here said they’re bored.
So, time for some pointless learning (at least for me).
What causes this fuel system related click at 0:12?
Is something opening or closing?
It comes from under the cab of the truck.
Camera was on top of the degas bottle so it’s loud.

I just went out in the garage and tried this. Sitting on the driver seat with the dooropen,I turned on the ignition and listened. 10 seconds later I heard a very similar click from under the truck in the vicinity of the DFCM. I tried to repeat a second time but no sound.

The sound is actually louder near the DEF tank now that I've jumped from the cab to listen.
So, further back than I thought.
Edit: I should say, I waited about a half hour. It could take 5 minutes.

Can't bring myself to crawl in the mud and listen for said sound, just now, but could it be that the volume is too low on your stereo system?

That's a tough one, kper! I know that the DEF system does a few complex things around this time though. When the truck is shut down it draws all the fluid out from the lines to prevent freezing, and therefore once you start the truck it has to pressurize the lines. There is an injector at the end of the circuit as well as a pressure sensor involved.
Perhaps it has to do with the DEF line filling?
