6.0 ticking

the ticking of the 6.0 engine bothers me. I guess its normal and the ticking comes from the injectors, probably from the injector spool valves. Has anyone tried to turn down the "noise" yet?



you have to turn up the speakers and listen carefully to hear the ticking

I also found a video on YouTube from someone who was asking himself the same question.

The second part of the video about blew me through the roof, holy smokes was that loud. Sounds like mine, except for my chirp. Ive got a video of mine on here too further down the page. Sounds the same to me.

That sounds *exactly* like my 6.0. I do not believe that there is a problem with your engine.

Sounds good to me, I noticed that mine is noticeably smoother/quieter when using full synthetic 5W-40 diesel oil and Motorcraft PM-22/23-A fuel additive. YMMV, Russ
