engine "ting" sound
when driving from a cold start, or parking after a long drive. the engine makes a tinging sound every 5-30 seconds... is this normal? is this just the engine warming up/cooling down?

I don't get the ting sound when I start it cold, but after the truck is hot and I shut it down it makes the ting sound you are talking about. It almost sounds like it is coming from the catalytic converters or something in that area. I have never had any problems with it and my guess is it is just the metal cooling bc it doesnt have the hot exhaust gases flowing through it anymore.
