Cold Start is seemingly louder and louder over the years. Dealership has told me it was "normal" but i just wanted to make sure and see if anyone else was having this issue?

If I don't drive my 6.2 every couple days, it makes the noise every now an then on start up. Goes away in a few seconds.

What brand of oil filter?

*Issue could (?) be the anti-drain-back valve. Recommend Motorcraft, WIX, or NAPA gold (made by WIX) oil filters.

I run Motorcraft oil filter

Bruski

We have a fleet of f350’s (all bought around 2014) with the 6.2’s and every darn one clacks on startup, but they all run great.

My 6.2 never did this even when starting it in -30. What oil are you running?

I have an '11 Lariat with the 6.2. She just turned 84,000 miles. Since she was new, every once in a great while, I here a slight clickity sound at start up. And it only lasts for a second or so. But only if I happen to be standing outside of her and I hit the remote start. Then I just can here the injectors clicking a little. Never heard it from inside the cab. When I do, the next time I start the truck (if I think about it) I'll stand next to the truck, hit the remote start and listen closely. It never does it when I Want to listen, lol. Doesn't seem to matter if it's before/after an oil change, or time of year... Regular oil changes are done at the Dealer where I ordered her (Free oil changes for as long as I own her). I usually do changes between 3,500-5,000 miles, depending on how many trips I take out to West Virginia or tow my Polaris Ranger to/from WV.

No ticking here at all.

I have an 11 Limited with 125k on it. Most of that has been with an exhaust, tune, and an intake. I run synthetic oil at 4-5000 intervals. I drive it like a complete ******* because it sounds so good with the Roush exhaust.
