I have a 2016 f150 5.0 and after the first oil change I noticed a typewriter noise coming from the left wheel well area after the engine warms up. Only does it for about two minutes and then goes away. My dealer is thinking its valve lash, but the noise is not in sync with the engine idle. I really don't want them digging up in my brand new truck.

If it's what I'm thinking, it might be condensation in the exhaust being blown out the drain holes in the bottom of the Muffler. I get it in my 3.5 EB.

I have a `17 XLT 5.0, & it too has a soft "typewriter" sound from that area. My truck only has 200 miles on it, so I don`t think there`s a problem.

My magnaflow kills the typewriter noise

I have the same. After reading through some of the threads on here, it appears to be normal. (At least I hope)
I currently have 45k miles on mine. It still does it on cold starts but no issues....

Mine makes the same noise when the motor is cold. After it warms up it goes away

hah yeah I always just use remote start and by the time I get to the truck I can't hear it

I don't have the 5.0. But i have heard that the cam phasers in the 5.0 are like to old 5.4 they make noise. I know they sell a phaser delete kit which will get rid of the noise and potential to skip timing due to oil pressure.
