Knocking sound when cold
I have an 05 with 50k miles and when it is cold and not plugged in the motor makes either a knock or a heavy ticking sound would be the best way to describe it. Once the motor runs for a little bit the noise becomes very faint.
If the truck is plugged in it will very rarely make the sound.
Has any body ever heard of this before?
I don't have any tuners or upgrades.
The dealer that I took it too said that they couldn't hear it, but you have to be deaf not to hear it.
Thanks!

Welcome Cow Hauler.
It depends on what you mean by cold, I always plug mine in when it`s below freezing.

By cold I mean 20 degree's or colder. If I know I am going to need the truck I will plug it in but there have been some times when that has not been availible. If I go somewhere and the truck sits for a few hours in the cold when I go to start it the noise will be back.
I have read about a cold start re flash do you think that is something I should maybe look into?
Thanks for your input.
