Why is my 2018 Ford F-150 5.0 making a ticking noise?
I recently bought a used 2018 F-150 5.0 and I’ve been noticing a ticking or knocking noise near the engine for the first few minutes of my drive. Is this going to be a major issue? Why is that sound happening?

A 2018 Ford F-150 5.0-liter engine makes a ticking noise as it comes up to its normal operating temperature. It’s a regular function of a 5.0-liter engine and doesn’t require repair.
If the noise tends to persist throughout long drives, though, it may be another issue. Bring your truck to a Ford dealership or a local auto repair shop for a professional diagnosis!
