when i start my truck up for the 1st time everyday, there is a ticking sound that comes from the driver side of the motor it seems...but once i put it into gear and start moving it quietins down. or once i drive about 1/2 up my road and stop, it has quit by then...wonder what it could be? i've just noticed it here lately since its gotten warmer

 

I would like to know also my buddy's 05 does it too

seems there is a bunch that have it but no one knows what it is

 

relay for the intake grid heater... or fuel heater

 

Yeah my truck does it too. it sounds like at lifter or something but i checked mine out and everything looked good.

 

did the relay for either one of those heaters fix the ticking sound on ur truck or something? if that is probally what it is. then i will take it in and tell them that.....

 

Not sure if this is related, but I notice a relatively quiet ticking sound from mine when I hit the remote start (during the waiting period before it cranks). Once the engine cranks there's no way it's loud enough to hear so I'm not sure if it continues or not. Maybe some trucks just have a louder tick? Mine is a very quick/rapid tick.

 

small tick= fuel pump

tick that goes away=????

it is not the grid heaters on my buddys 05....

 

Yeah, maybe it's just a relay somewhere in the remote start system?

 

The ticking you hear before starting the truck is the injectors purging the air from the system.

The ticking you hear after starting I'am not sure about. let me think for awhile maybe something will click.

 

nothing to worry about guys
