97 4.6 Ticking while stopped in Drive or Reverse. Goes away in Park & Neutral
The heading pretty much says it all.
When the truck is at idle speeds & at a complete stop in drive (D,1,2) or reverse you can hear a tick and ting type of random noises. Sounds more like a ting. Have to listen for it when I'm in the cab but is noticed standing outside the truck while it's in gear.
Not really a rythmical noise like if a rod was knocking and not loud and clattering. Kinda random metallic sounding pops and tings.
Engine cooled for about an hour. Started it up and didn't hear noise until I drove it down the street for 5 or so minutes and parked it. It then came back.
Hoping to catch it early in case it's something that will worsen with time.
Things to note (but I doubt matter):
Use 5w30 Mobil 1 Synthetic and Wix (Napa Gold) Oil Filter
Truck has 95,000 miles w/ original plugs and wires
Stillen open air intake system w/ K&N Filter
Don't go mudding or off roading
I want to thank everyone in advance for their knowledge and time. Your help is appreciated.
