I am concerned as the truck had no eng noise for 2000mi and now there is this slight noise that has not gotten any louder, but with the hood down and if you put your ear at the drivers side front wheel that d--m ticking noise is their. I am worried that its a problem that wont get any better. I am still going to walnut creek ford after the 20 to let the engineer from ford listen to it i think their is a real problem and its with the bottom end of this eng.

 

man i had the same exact sound last week. my noise was in the same spot. i had 4 plugs loose. check your plugs. don't drive it till u do. it will save u lots of money if u check them before they come out. that is unless its still under waranty. let me know how it goes. and good luck

 

I see you have the Bassani shorties, maybe a exhaust leak. Those header gaskets always seem to leak after awhile

 

Check for loose plugs now. Don't let them spit. There is absolutely no advantage to having the head warenteed with the same one,. and plenty of disadvantages.
