Ticking sound while at idle
2010 Scab...I have a ticking sound coming from the engine compartment (haven't found the exact source yet) while at adle. I can't hear it when driving. If anyone has heard a stun gun zapping, it is similar to that. It does not appear to speed up when I step on the gas but it is loud enough to hear if you are close to the truck or in the cab. Anyone else have this? I don't remember hearing it when I bought it new last year.

I have the same thing. Gets a little louder when I drive slow. Drive through a drive through with window open.. You'll hear it too. From research I've done, it's the cam phasers.
I've taken it to my dealership and they said its "normal"
I call BS and am taking it to a different dealership come spring

May be exhaust manifold leak.
I heard what I thought was injector tick when I first test drove my 2005.
It was the right manifold.
Under warranty, I had Ford replace the 'warped' manifold just 2 weeks ago.
