    So I finally had the opportunity to bring mine in for service. The mechanic took a ride for me and we actually couldn't get the truck to duplicate the noise. He suggested that possibly the air temperature had something to do with it... it was about 47* during the test drive and first cold day morning of the fall. Later that afternoon when it was warmer it was ticking like normal. Keep an eye on yours on the these cool mornings and warm afternoon and see if the results are similar. I wonder if it has anything to do with the AC pump. They told me it was the high pressure fuel pump ...

    Yea, it's very frustrating. You can hear it outside too... roll your windows down next time your next to a jersey barrier. Rather disheartening when one of the selling points of this vehicle was how quiet they are inside. .... and that is true, and I think the reason you can hear this "tick" so well in the cab.

    I don't know if it's my imagination or actually true, but there did appear to be a slight difference with the AC off. What do you think the correlation is?

    I tried it, no difference. I was driving through a new area today with Jersey barriers very close to the drivers side of the truck and heard it much louder than usual. I would say that its drivers side for sure now.

    MOhunter, I listen to your video. This is exactly what mine does.. its not loud, but it's super annoying.

    I started the other thread, 5.3 exhaust leak, and all the symptoms described here match my noise. I've yet to reach a solution although I've only had time to bring it to the dealer that one time. I was quite disappointed when I was told "the fuel pumps get louder with time". Well GM, that's not the truck I test drove and bought... I don't know what recourse I have, but it's very disappointing to drive my truck right now.

    I assure you this truck didn't make that noise when I bought it. The dealer told me it gets louder after you put some miles on it.

    No they didn't... They gave me the old hand on the back let me show you to the door "it's all ok sir".. Who has time to argue with someone who doesn't know the difference between a nut and bolt. Just haven't had the time for a second opinion. I looked myself and didn't see any carbon showing anywhere, but I'm highly skeptical of their diagnosis.

    Good possibility. I was told that it was the fuel pump, and that they are quiet when you buy the truck but get louder. So I guess the question is, does anyone have a loud "fuel pump"

    As stated, truck sounds like it has an exhaust leak around 1500 RPM right before down shift, V8 mode. The radio has to be off to hear it, and now i'm tuned into it so I always hear it. Dealer said it was fuel pump, I'm not buying it having had many fords with leaking manifolds. Has anyone run across this issue/sound?
