Clicking noise???

Hello,

I have a 2011 F250 6.7 Turbo Diesel I recently purchased. I am hearing a noise when accelerating from a stop. The only time I'm hearing it is when the window is down. The noise sounds like someone is tapping an aluminum pop can. It is easily reproducible as well. I decided to get under the truck and have my wife toggle the transmission from park to reverse. They noise does not occur unless one foot is placed on the brake and the accelerator is lightly pressed. (My wife had the opportunity to run me over and claim it as an accident but lucky me she decided not too). Below is a video. I had a hard time locating the noise. It sounds like it may be coming from the exhaust or drive shaft. The drive shaft does not spin when toggling from reverse to drive but the ticking noise can be simulated and heard when lightly pressing the gas while holding the brake. Does anyone have any suggestions from me? Something need lubed somewhere?


Thanks,
Ryan

Gear lash in the trans from shifting it into a gear is all I can come up with.

If that is it then that would be considered normal at this time.

I swear I've heard this noise on my 2012 before. Heard it once when I was hooking up a trailer and then the other day when I was slowly backing up a trailer in reverse with the window down. It's a random clicking.

Keep in touch on this if you get to the dealer. I haven't had a chance to take mine in yet.

Mine does it all the time when accelerating from a stop. Just sounds like something needs lubed. Not real concerned but may take it to dealer.

Hi Lococoin and ezduzit01,

If either of you decide to go the dealership route, let me know so I can assist, if needed. I'll hang out around this thread just in case I'm needed.
