Hello all,
My 2015 f150 (5.0) is starting to have a faint but noticeable ticking noise at start-up and lower
rpms like when taking off from stop or slowing down.Goes away when rpms increase.
Truck has 143k with original plugs,never had any other issues and still runs strong
Oil is fresh Mobil 1 and has been changed regularly.
Any ideas or thoughts?
Rick

 

After 13 years there is some wear and oil pressure may be down some.
Good luck.

 

Well we can't hear your ticking noise so maybe a video would help & I'll start with telling you need to change your plugs now... The gap ihas to be way way over !!! Ford says 100k for plugs but any shop will tell you to change them early as in 60/70K then lets see what it sounds like,,,,Are there other things that are way over service (tranny/diff etc.)

 

I'll second the plugs. I changed out my original plugs at 92,500, and the electrodes were little more than rounded lumps. Some of the gaps were beyond 0.060.

 

Thanks to all!
Rick
