Some ticking will be normal. That is the fuel injectors and timing chain making it rounds.

Take a video and post it up, and folks will be able to tell you.

Noises are hard to diagnose sometimes. I've been fooled more than once. Post a video of the noise and we will try to help.

just an update there were issues with a stretch or flex belt in early year 2011 5.0s and they have a belt tensioner kit they installed to diagnose to problem and if it still ticks and knocks its an internal engine issue which was my case they exchange or upgraded me and I got a 2013 F150 thanks for help
