I've got a ticking ish noise I am hearing on the passenger side of my motor, It does not do it in neutral and doesn't do it at idle, only accelerating, I know it's not my cam phasers because I had those changed less than 1000 miles ago, and I know it's not an exhaust leak because I have checked it myself and also had it checked at a exhaust shop, idk what it is, I'm lost, ANY help would be awesome, thanks

 

Does anybody know what it possibly is?

 

What brand were the replacement cam phasers?

 

I'm not positive, I could check, but I had them replaced at the ford dealership

 

Loose plug ?? truck run good ??

 

Just cause u change the phasers doesn't mean they'll stop ticking. most 5.4's came off the lot brand new ticking, its just the characteristics of our motors. mine does the same thing everything I go to a fast food drive through it sounds horrible for a split second while accelerating but runs good. it's just the way most these motors sound hope this helps bothered me for the longest time but I'm over it now

 

X2 on a plug being loose.
If you give it a little gas and the noise goes away, you can check off the phasers and look elsewhere.

 

Truck runs fine, ain't nothin seems wrong, and if doesn't do it at an idle only when I'm accelerating with the window down n I pass a building or something where I can hear it, idk what it is but it's bugging the hell outa me
