2009 4.6 3v v8 noisy engine!
Hey
Love my new 09 F150
Talk about night and day power over my 07 with the 4.6
Anyways
Does anyone else have the 09 with the new 4.6?
If so, is your engine as noisy as mine?
All I hear when I am touring around or when its idleing is TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK
Took it to the dealer and they told me it was the injectors and that they are all like that?
What a pain in thr *SS that is
Having a new truck with a ticking motor
The only thing the mechanic recommended was to get a loud exhaust system haha
IDK I was just wondering if anyone else noticed this and what they think
Thanks

I've had several of the 4.6L 3V engines in Mustangs and they do tend to be noisy...IIRC, though, there were a few that had camshaft tensioner issues which would cause the cam chain to be noiser than usual...probably not an issue any more but thought I'd mention it. Have a friend who works for a Ford dealer and his 2007 Mustang GT/CS was making the cam chain tensioner noise and they replaced it under warranty.

I have to admit, my 2007 5.4 3v runs very quiet, even at cold starts winter/summer! I have been running Mobil-1 5w-20 & a MotorCraft filter ever since 39,000 miles ago! I think I am blessed!........
