Just got my truck back, the complete steering column was replaced, then they replaced some coil behind the wheel as well.  Picked it up and it was in the shade, 75 degrees out.  Drove 15 minutes and the sound came back exactly as it was before :(     I am at a loss now.  it is not a terrible sound and it has had zero effect on turning the wheel, you can only hear it with windows up, ac off, radio off and turning either at a stop or really low speeds.  No passengers can even hear it, but I can and my only fear is eventually whatever is making that noise is going to break, even though apparently the whole column is new.   To better describe it it almost sounds like pulling out a tape measure and that periodic binding sound??  I took a video, I need to post

It’s probably going to be the steering gear. Mine went out and was replaced under warranty. I had a level kit on at the time. Put a 6” lift on last month and the noise is back.

Same issue happened to me 6 times. Within 10 min , i would start hearing Clicking. Anyway . i still think its the level/lift that causing it . Cause as soon as I took mine off , it stopped. 

My 2016 has a 1 level now for 15k miles and no noise , so go figure.

now that it is finally "cold" in Florida I notice my clicking is very temperature dependent. Completely silent when the weather is cold and I havent done much driving, but then the other day I drove an hour and it was 78 and sunny and I could hear it pretty loud.     That part baffles me.  It is almost like plastic somewhere is swelling in the heat

I have noticed the same thing. It has been a little cooler here in California and the clicking is gone. So weird.
