Wasn't that many years ago that you wouldn't have heard the tick because the engines were so much louder. Maybe the older engines did it also but you couldn't hear it. Great info with the video!
@richwitt3559 Yeah, you couldn't hear it as much on the 2011 mustangs until around 2018 cause of different materials used to make the engine. Same with the 6.7
My 2017 Power Stroke and my 2017 Whippled Mustang GT are smooth as silk. I run Amsoil and I run them hard. Just bought a 2024 Tremor 7.3 Godzilla last week and she’s gonna work and play hard!! Keeping all three for years and years!!
@BeardedFordTech I've always noticed it when I open the driver's door though. Maybe I'm just hyper aware of NVH issues because odd noises drive me nuts and really do affect the overall driving experience.
@mackwoodcock7484 have you changed the oil in your 23 yet? Remember not all of them. Do it though. And it recommend changing the oil at 1000 miles first. Get all that nasty crap out of there. Even though they say you don't need to. Oil analysis shows break in wear metals are present and elevated
The Duramax trucks and other diesels have been doing this for years. Just do an oil analysis if you want reassurance it’s not bad GM claims microscopic air bubbles in between the main/rod journals bursting and it resonates through the block. Tons of trucks do this and go hundreds of thousands of miles without any issues.
@ Yep my 24 6.7 H.O. Does it until it gets to about 140 degrees and then it quits it also does it way less the more miles I put on the oil and I switched to Amsoil 5w-40 which seemed to help a bit as well. Also did an oil analysis and everything looked good. It definitely sounds concerning but luckily nothing to worry about lol
@Cobruhh93 exactly. I run amsoil 5w40 in my entire fleet of 6.7. I think one or two do it after sn oil change but it gets quiet as it warms up. We send off for testing regular. Nothing going on in there. All good to go!
Valvoline premium Blue 5-40 has completed eliminated the typewriter tick on my 6.7. I forget that I even had it unless I switch to another oil it comes right back.
Amsoil 5w40 got rid of most of mine. Out of a huge fleet like 2 or 3 do it. But if i use an amsoil filter they don't. Which got me thinking. What if it's the filter somehow?
@@BeardedFordTech that’s really interesting… I notice the tick when running motor craft filters, but not when running Donaldson. Haven’t tried other filters though. 2020 F350 with the 6.7l and always run 5w40 T6
@original72canuck T6 is good. Amsoil Max duty 5w40. These things run just about 24/7/365. I've had one engine failure and it wasn't cause of oil. It was cylinder 3 Rocker hold down broke send pieces everywhere
I kind of like the noises my engine makes. I LOVE the sound of a diesel. If you want quiet, go buy a Cybertruck and, uh, good luck! My old tractor has valves that tick at idle. My old Dakota (5.2L V8) did too. I love the sound of valves tapping away. Now the sound of a CP4 eating itself? I need to know that sound...
That would certainly be scary to hear… Fortunately my 2024 6.7HO doesn’t make this sound. I have 20k miles on it and changed the oil at every 5k miles.
@ Quick question: the oil change indicator came on at 3,800 miles into oil change. I have been using Schaffers 5w-40 and change the oil every 5,000 miles. The truck has 20k miles on it now. My truck is a 2024 F350 SRW 6.7HO Platnium Tremor just to have all of the details. Thoughts? Please and Thank You!
@Captain-Awesome don't go by the oil change indicator. It's just programming in the pcm based on a bunch of variables. Temp, idle time, drive time, rpms. A bunch of stuff. It isn't accurate. I run 5w40 amsoil in thr entire fleet. It never comes on thay early.
Tap tap…..tap…….tap tap………tap tap tap…… Yeah, I get it but it’s always no matter what. 5000 miles after oil change and still ticks when cold. Doesn’t happen when warm.
@@vais3 notice I said some do it. And some don't. And some quiet down the further you go on oil. I guess you got one that does it all the time when cold.
@@BeardedFordTechdoesn’t bother me. My 2017 never did it but my 2024 does. Personally don’t care that it does it cold. I do run Rotella T6 5W-40 with an FL-2124S that has 5 slots Vs the 8 holes. I’ve noticed the anti-drainback valve or something is stronger because I can spin the filter off on those 2/3 of the way before oil escapes. I’ll probably try another 5W-40 just to experiment once I have a leak repaired and I do another short interval flush.
My 6.7 makes this dumb ass noise. It drives me CRAZY! I know that it doesn't mean anything, but it's just stupid. And I feel like this is only when the oil is fairly fresh, like under 1,500 miles. Once there is like 2,500-3,000 miles you don't hear the tick any more. Some people say that it's because of a certain oil, I've been using Rotella T6 since I got it. I might try the Motorcraft oil after I use up all my Rotella... I guess we'll see. Thanks for the video bud, hope you're doing well.
Yep. Always happens after an oil change and as you go further on the oil it stops or quiets down. Brand has nothing to do with it. I've used motorcraft rosella t6 and amsoil. Although amsoil reduces it. It's still there. Only on like 2 or three of my fleets vehicles though. However. I did notice with an amsoil filter it doesnt do it
@@ashtenweaver2380 I just think it's the nature of the engine, it's really weird and doesn't make much sense to me but I guess it just is, what it is. I don't think you using the CQ filter would matter either.
Just like my F150 5.0L. Something is causing this noise. They don't start out new making the noise but start doing it. My 5.0 ticks like crazy. I would love to know what is really causing it.
@lonewolf744 they do it new. Right after the first oil change whether you do it at 1 mile or 5 or 10k miles. It does it. Always after the first change.
See mine is a constant tick that goes up with rpm. It not as noticeable after going over 1500 to 2000 rpm. But at idle it doesn't sound good. Of course ford lumps it in with" typewriter tick" and says it's normal. My local mechanic says it's the piston skirt slapping the cylinder and I should get rid of it. I'm also having what I think is vct solenoid issues with the stalling at stop lights, rough idle ect.
@@lonewolf744 the typewriter tick should not be there when cold, for like the first minute at least. It should be inconsistent ticking, should go away under medium/heavy load and rpm above 2k. You may have something else wrong with your engine. You could also try liquimoly ceratec and see if it goes away, this is VERY effective at removing the noise. If the ticking doesn't go away within 5 minutes of adding ceratec, it is something else fo sure and should be looked at closely. Even get an oil analysis when its due for a service.
They do not “tick when new” Something is making a noise. Noise is a physical sound wave. From energy being expelled By contacting two or more parts. It’s probably your lifters Or fuel pump failing. Any noise related to changing the oil should be gone within 4 miles.
@@BeardedFordTech this is a noise common on a lot of engines, toyota inline 6 cylinder diesels (you americans didnt get them) are known for it and it's typically mentioned to be hydraulic cavitation (although no one i've seen can confirm this), adding soot or tiny particles of sorts to the oil seems to fix the noise. Toyota back in the day mentioned it's a relationship between the block, crank and bearings that causes it to happen. Sometimes the tolerances line up to be worse or better on some engines and it's the reason why some make the noise, some don't. Toyota would even go as far as to replace the crank for some vehicles under warranty or the entire engine. I believe ford even have an oil additive (XL-17?) they use for this noise which is essentially just 'carbon black'. I have had really good luck at removing the noise with a PTFE additive every service. I think this noise is the reason a lot of engines are trending towards sumps that still hold roughly 1 litre (or quart) of oil when doing a service, having a little left really can help prevent the noise.

The DEF injector has fooled me a couple times on my truck. Sitting at idle I can hear it tick but it's rhythmic
