6.2 ticking
Hello all ,
First off im not a engineer or a engine builder just a fella with a 2021 F250 with a 6.2 that i was very un happy with do to engine noise heard in the cabin while driving . The rhythmic ticking is not related to a possible intake manifold issue . Dealer said no and i did my own testing as others have done . Only can hear it in the cabin in cold months , im in Michigan . After using a stethoscope i narrowed it down to the fuel injectors , why only in the cold months i have no idea . My fix was using Kilmat on the fuel rails , as you know each side is like a snake , i did the best job i could do trying to cover all sides of the boxed curvy shape . There is a foam cover over the top of the rail which i removed and reinstalled after Kilmat was applied . 90% of the noise is gone in the cabin . Just thought id pass it along i read in the forums people complaining about the noise hoping something isnt wrong internally . I cant see with what i did would harm anything , obviously Ford put a foam pad there to sound proof but not enough .

Good to know, mine has been there all summer, and I purchased it used with the tick. But this sounds like my problem. Any other helpful hints before I dig into it? Dealer was unwilling to correct the problem for you?

Dealer drove it and hooked up their scanner and said all is normal . Seeing that yours is doing it in the summer im not sure if its the same ticking or not . if you do end up putting a deadner on your fuel rail make sure its a quality brand you Dont want a material with an asphalt base
