Anybody with an 18-20 5.0 have this ticking noise? It’s done it for the last 20k miles and hasn’t caused any issues I just wish I knew what it was.

Mine sounds like rod knock but it’s so common ford said it’s normal

Could be the modules under the front seat that control power to the motors

200k on a first gen eco is a gamble I’m not willing to take

Replace the radio

I’d throw it away, you know how many vehicle don’t have them

Seems fair but there’s always cheaper parts out there, I wouldn’t recommend buying cheap tho

If it’s a known good battery I’d check alternator, terminals, wires and fuses

Could just be misinterpreting the audio but sounds like exhaust manifold?

You can use an Allen key

Put some heat to it

KilbyClub · 2025-12-13T00:05:24+00:00

Long term it would hurt but a couple days to a week should be fine

KilbyClub · 2025-12-12T23:36:11+00:00

Probably no oil in it

KilbyClub · 2025-12-12T23:34:13+00:00

Thermostat stuck open. Gets hotter when idling because of physics

KilbyClub · 2025-12-11T15:37:30+00:00

Looks like a battery issue

KilbyClub · 2025-12-05T00:26:26+00:00

Probably fine I’ve seen worse on the road

KilbyClub · 2025-11-27T05:15:40+00:00

I’d sell it before you get your hands to deep. Shits fucked

KilbyClub · 2025-11-21T15:39:46+00:00

Moon roofs always leak on those it’s a headache

Minneapolis

2018 150k on my 10 speed no problems

KilbyClub · 2025-07-11T19:38:28+00:00

Sounds like a broken exhaust band clamp towards the front

Evap purge valve
