How quiet is your 5.0 engine? Does it tick like the 5.4L and 4.6L 3v engines in the 09-10's? I've got a 2010 and will probably upgrade by fall, just lookin for some input here.

 

Its quiet unless you get on it then it has a nice grunt to it

 

don't hear it unless you go above ~3k rpms.

i'm actually considering not putting exhaust on my truck because it's so quiet inside it's peaceful lol

 

Mine is nice and quiet. It does growl when you get on it though lol.

 

My Platinum's 5.0 is quiet but it does growl during acceleration and I love when it does!

 

Mine has a ticking sound when its just running! Not sure what it is. But when you get on it it goes!

 

My 2010 5.4 doesn't tick.

 

Most likely the injectors, and all engines do it. I had it on my Nissan 5.6L, 4.0L, and 3.3L engines as well. Before that, Camaro broke down so much, can't remember as it didn't run much.

 

mine has that tick, only hear it if your standing outside near the truck. Agree with all, that once you get on it, it does have a nice growl, to bad it dosen't come with dual pipes, I wouldn't consider putting an exhaust then. Theres not enough room i believe to put a y pipe and run dual.

 

Cool, thanks for all the replies. Almost traded the truck in on a 2011 5.0 Mustang GT Premium but just couldnt pull the trigger. I think I would miss the truck too much.

 

i considered a 5.0 mustang as well, but i need a way to tow my land cruiser on some trips i want to make in the upcoming summers and i know i'd hate not having a truck at my disposal

 

yeah good thing you kept the truck!!! My wife was gonna get a mustang so glad as well as she is that she didn't was trying to explain that she wouldn't be getting very far into the woods when she goes hunting our dog isnt going to be a puppy much longer!
