My BIL bought a 2020 F250 6.2 gas. There is a constant ticking noise coming from the engine. Dealer says normal. Anyone else have this truck and hear it?
I had the same thing in a V 10. Two hundred thousand miles later it was still ticking but the bomb never went off. Used no oil, never faltered. Aggravating, but not terminal.
All Ford Modular engines are an abomination design. Having the same issue on my 5.4 Triton.
If he bought it from a dealer take it back and insist they fix it.
There are a multitude of problems and it is next to impossible to fix one and get it 100% right. If your in there might as well replace all timing components and add a high volume oil pump.
I'm in the middle of replacing Cam Phasers, Timing Chains, Tensioners chain guides and oil pump with a new high volume oil pump.
I have it on my F250 every once in awhile on start up. Goes away almost instantly
Is it gas? If so the chain tensioners are oil pressure driven. If it has sat for a while the tensioners bleed down which causes slack (chain slap) in one or both chains until pressure builds after start up.
This will eventually lead to broken chain guides (plastic) and or work out cam phasers.
Don't ignore the tic..it is not normal.
You may get by with no problems for 15K miles or 100K miles.
Search you motor and cam phaser issues. If its a Ford thisnis VERY likely your issue.
Check tensioners, guides VVT solenoids, chains and oil pressure with a real gage.
