Hi all, I'm new to this forum and need some advice, I did the search function and all i found this about this ticking/knocking was allready done to my truck under warranty @ 39,000 miles dec 20, 21 they (dealership) replaced the cam phasers nope ticking still there Dec 26,27 goes back in shop and they replace the lifters so i'm told under warranty, nope ticking/knocking still there driver side wheel well opening, sevice tech said he called the ford hotline to get a ford engineer look at my truck on jan 4, over a period of 2 weeks it seems to be getter worse including the week the dealership had the truck any thought's, sorry for the first long post

My truck makes a ticking sound too. It's just the fuel injectors. It's normal!

 

is the noise only at idle or can you hear it while driving?

 

i can hear the injector noise, i guess what i'm trying to say is i can easly hear this ticking/knocking over the injector noise, thanks, jimmy

 

from start up idle and driving, goes up and down with r.p.m.
thanks, jimmy

 

The cam phaser "knock" does not go up and down with RPM, it is only there during idle when the truck is warmed up.

The best way I can think to describe the cam phase "knock/tick" is that it sounds like a rubber mallet hitting the engine.

 

i understand, dealership replaced cam phasers a week and half ago they said they heard the knock

 

I hear a knocking/ticking at idle when the truck is from a cold start or if it is warmed up. Someone told be on another post that it may be my cam phasers. It sounds like a diesel at idle.

 

I just picked up an '05 Screw 2wd with 95K on it and mine sounds like a diesel when it's idling.....you can't hear it in the cab but if you stick your head under the hood it's definitely apparent...Plus my Check engine light is on....I hope this motor isn't a pile cause this is my first "new" pickup and need it to last!!!

 

UPDATE: my truck has been at the dealership since Jan 7, they had a Ford engineer out to give the a truck a look see, engineer seems to think it's a cylinder head problem, he the "engineer" got a hold of the zone rep and there are going put new set of heads on my truck.heads were ordered today and shoud arrive by next thursday. I hope this does the trick
