Guy I am lost, there is so much I have read about the 6.2L ticking noise. So many causes and so many people saying it’s normal. I just don’t think it “normal” if I can hear it; even faintly, from inside the cab then something isn’t right. Ok so I heard it from the first time this morning. 27 degrees, would have an rpm following tick until 1500 rpm then it goes away. Non tempature specific. Drive ability is perfectly. Fuel mileage is normal, trucks runs normal, and it only happens at idle in part. Sound like it is coming from the center of the motor under the intake. Truck is a 2017 with 60,000 and a 5w30 ford job on it, certified pre owned with full warranty until 100,000. Just want to go to the ford house prepared with knowledge. What’s your thoughts! And yes blinker fluid is full and wiper pressure has been checked.

if you can hear it in the cab with the windows rolled up i would say you have a problem. Windows up idling and driving mine is cadillac quiet from the drivers seat. Slight tick at idle outside of the truck seems pretty normal from all 6.2’s that i have been around. Ticking under load while driving is no bueno. Start it up and crawl inder the truck and listen around the exhaust manifolds and down pipes the best you can. Get your ol’ lady to up the idle and hold it there and see if you can locate the noise from under the truck. Try to eliminate possible exhaust leak before thinking the worst.

I know I had a slight exhaust tick all along but it just seems to sound more matallic sounding almost like a hammer on plastic than exhaust sound. I have not seen anything that could be making the noise so far. When I say I can here it in the cab I can just barely hear it. It’s so faint but I can hear it. Hoping not a flat spot on a cam or Gawled up roller

Also there is zero tick when driving what so ever

LOFL!!!! Eeee’ gaaaads’ i have never even thought about that!!!!!

Can you post a decent video of the truck runnimg?

This is the absolute best I got. It’s really hard to get a quality sounding video

I’m trying to upload it. Seems to not want to

Does it go away after it warms up? My previous 6.2 had a “tick” at startup that ended up being an exhaust manifold bolt that was broke (exhaust leak). The tick would dissipate once it got warm...but was REALLY obvious upon startup.

Nothing $800 didn’t fix.
