It's the same motor, what do you expect?

One thing to try too if you haven't already (9 months late to this party and my 2024 5.0 has started ticking as well after oil change at 4k miles) is Liqui Moly Ceratec. I have read so many testimonials on forums and youtube videos of people dumping1-2 bottles of that stuff into the engine and it clears the tick right up. Haven't tried it myself as I am going to the dealership tomorrow to document the ticking noise so they can't pull anything on me down the road if it does happen to break something. Going to try and live with it for now as I have heard others say that it goes away by itself after about 1k miles after oil change. Time will tell though. Does yours seem to speed up too as you accelerate from a stop until about 2k rpms? That's what mine does and then it gets drowned out by glorious V8 noises.

This is the famous coyote tick. Add 1 bottle of ceretec liquid molly with every oil change, and you won't hear it again.

Just junk !

i noticed that too just today close to the front tire wth what can that be ?

This is not injectors. Injectors have an even/repeating sound. The BBQ tick is random. It's piston slap once the block warms up and grows with heat. The pistons get looser and slap on the cylinder wall. My 2002 happened after fisrt oil change. IT's BAD. The tech who performed the oil change mensioned it too.

Damn that sucks. From what I heard, it's normal though

That's your fuel injectors! My buddy has a supercharged z06 vette and he even said that's normal. If it doesn't do that, they aren't working. I have an SN95 and an S197 that both do that. If I shove my head under the tire there's a slight tick. Listen to how quiet it is when you stand next to your door. You can hardly hear the engine is even idling under there(you can mainly only hear the exhaust at this point). That tells you nothing is wrong. When it fuxkin ticks when you walk 20 feet away or 40 feet away, and/or out of the exhaust, THEN you have the lifter tick. I already fixed that issue once on the '07, and if yours had an actual tick, you'd be horrified like I was... you'd know it.

Meanwhile my 18 Camero SS is the envy of every Chick Filet employee working drive through, all the kids want to hear it rev, and heck a buddy of mine from work picked up a 22 ss and the prettiest girls are with him now. I have been telling him since 18 how good life is when a mint nightfall gray blacked out camero pulls up and everybody says nice car. So come on Mustang owners join us!

Probably over-reved at the break in period.

2024 owner here, ours just started doing the same after the first oil change.

Its a Coyote. My 18 and 24 do it. Makes no difference

There’s only 1 real fix for the tick…… you gotta straight pipe that sucker so you can’t possibly hear it. 😂😂

could be the chain tensioner's bleeding down. happens when it sits for awhile. goes away when it's warm.

It ain’t a 5.0 if it ain’t got the tick 😎

Supposedly that's not a big deal.

Direct injection

U gotta let it break in, thats what the dealer told me before pushing the car hard.

mine doesn't do that, but ticking noise when accelerating lightly around 2k rpm

🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘👍👍👍👍👍🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🚘🚘🚘❤❤❤❤❤

24 GT. Have had it for 4 months and am experiencing tivks. So disappointing! Didn't pay that price tag for a noisy car. Ugh!!!

Have 81k miles. Never had mine even looked at. It either doesn’t do it anymore or I just don’t notice it.

Did you do the proper break in period? Not going over 3000 rpm for the first 500 miles?

Yep welcome to the club, drive it.

They’ve been doing this since the gen 1. It’s not really an issue. Just a weird noise. My 2019 5.0 does it too and I’ve driven it well over 160 many times and the car feels great still

What does this noise have to do with a Barbecue?

Bro do yourself a big favor and install it back on please. That thing is there for a reason. You have coolers, lines and wires under there. It is not only for drag or mpg, but also protects the wiring and lines and coolers under there. You gonna end up with damaged parts real quick or even worse rusted parts. You're asking for trouble if you keep it off. Even trucks have them and they are not the most aerodynamic or effecient vehicles and they are meant for protection. One small stone chip to a line and you're done.

Almost sounds like a spark plug wire short to ground as it is intermittent.

Don't know what's worse about having a guinea pig in your oil pan. The guinea pig, or the little brown bananas it poops out.

My dark horse has the tick too after an oil change at 950 miles. It's even louder than yours

Pro tip turn the wheel to the left and you can access it without taking all that off 🏁

Thanks, man. Just got a Dark Horse. This was muy helpful. Rock on.

I removed only the fabric tray on my S650. It's a bit more work compared to my S550.

One of the videos I saw (and heard), the ticking sound was random and sounded like an ignition spark jumping to ground.

My 16’ has the same tick , same spot, 6500 kms. I’d be getting it addressed while it’s still under warranty.

🔥 "promo sm"

Totally normal, I've worked on endless vehicles and hear this all the time. If the sound goes away with the clutch in then it's clutch noise, common and normal. Injector noise, a lot of newer dual injected vehicles are noisy. Direct Injection is already noisy due to the higher operating fuel pressures.

i think im at 1,400 miles nothing yet 😩 🙏

😮

Sounds like a mechanical typewriter

I am OLD SCHOOL and the purpose of the early oil change is to remove any shavings or debris left behind from the break in period. A brand new engine properly set up will cough up minute particles left from assembly. Its best to dump the oil and change the filter. A wise mechanic once told me OIL "It's the cheapest thing you can put into your engine" When my 2024 arrives I'll put 500 miles on her and the oil and filter are history.

2024 vapor blue looks awesome!

Exhaust bolt on exhaust clamp facing up and tapping on your undercarriage

100 percent certain it’s injectors 😂😂 you could only here it when you got underneath it or opened the hood

Doesn't suprise me the 24s are no different then previous years. I even called before they came out they'd still have it.

Bro don't use synthetic blend use full synthetic that stuffs for like old 70s trucks

I’m with you, no way am I not putting clean oil on the filter ring. Also, is it possible to mark the filter from the top side to check if it’s rotating?

My 22 GT started that at less than 300 miles. It also has the 2k rattle. Documented both with the dealer. They came back with they are normal characteristics of the engine and no detection of oil consumption. It does quiet down when it's all warmed up. It's annoying but I'm keeping an eye on the oil and drive the hell out of it!!!😂😂😂

Cant believe ford hasnt fixed this
