There is some relay or something, sounds electrical. Its a 99 4.6. Got it last year and did this occasionally last winter but not as bad. Seems to only do it when its cold, mostly when using turn signals, brakes, and occasionally acceleration.

Is it doing it when you're pushing on the brake? Sounds like the brake pedal pivot needs to be greased.

No, it also does it sometimes when I accelerate or use turn signals. It won't make the sound when the truck is off and I press on the brake, only when its on.
