2018 GT New Member Question
Hello friends, I joined the Mustang Source through my research into - wait for it - the tick or Ford named Type Writer noise that has developed in my car. I am curious as to any actual solutions? Having read many of the threads it seems there is no single solution. I am reluctant to change the oil. Thoughts? Regards to all.

I guess I am 'out of it' with the Ford tick. I sure have heard about the Hemi tick and the 'sewing machine' GM LS1 engines. I'm curious to read about this myself.

So perhaps, I would start there by having them looked at if necessary?

It might also help by providing if your vehicle is a 4v Coyote 2011-current or older 3v model from 2005-10... According to my info, the tick noises AKA typewriter issues are somehow related to the cam phasers... So perhaps, I would start there by having them looked at if necessary?
SSM 49761: 2011-2021 Mustang/F-150 - 5.0L - Tick Tap And/Or Typewriter Noise At Idle Some 2011-2021 Mustang and F-150 vehicles equipped with a 5.0L engine may exhibit a ticking noise at idle after an engine oil change. It is often referred to as typewriter noise because of its similarity to the sound of a mechanical typewriter. The noise in question may be heard on some engines when engine temperatures reach 150ŒF (65ŒC) or higher and engine speed is at idle up to approximately 1700 RPMs. It can typically be heard at the front wheel well and is often isolated to the transmission bell housing or oil pan area. The typewriter noise is not detrimental to the engine function or durability and has no short or long term effects on the engine. This an operating characteristic of the 5.0L engine and no repairs should be attempted. Vehicles: 2011-2014 F-150 (2004-2014), Mark LT (F6) 2015-2020 F-150 (P552) (FC) 2021 F-150 (P702) (FD) 2011-2014 Mustang (S197) (ZF) 2015-2021 Mustang (S550) (ZG)
