What's that one about?

My new 5.4 is noisier than I think it should be at idle.

 

those are the injectors ticking

 

or the cam phasers as that was the cause for my ticking...

 

Have you had anything done about it?

My 5.4 sounds more like a diesel than a gasser at idle. Definitely didn't sound like that in my last one.

 

Yes, when I took my truck in they replaced the cam phasers on the right side and that took care of the noise.. Mine sounded diesel like as well and now all is smooth..
