Is this the normal ticking sound?

Mine sounds like that too, especially on cold starts. Wish my engine bay was as clean as yours lol..

only 350 miles...if I have enough fun with it, it'll get dirtier soon!!

Thanks. Yeah, can't find one anywhere. Between being discontinued and I found the guys with new broncos were buying them too because they fit their engines as well, I think they're all gone.

Thanks for sharing. I did call those guys the other day and they said it’s backordered with no estimated date of being in stock. Others I’ve called say it’s discontinued. I think the ones who have it as backordered are the ones who still have it showing up on their website. Got my hopes up a couple times because of that.

I changed the oil in Ranger with a good oil, and that sound disappeared.

That’s very interesting! The oil in there now is from the dealer as I only have 380 miles on it. What oil did you use?

Amsoil XL 5W-30.
I also put Amsoil transmission fluid in my transfer case. It didn't quite double the amount of torque in 4H & 4L, but it made a world of difference. Totally changed its personality, I can say that.

Thank you! After I read your post I found the 29 page thread on the oil/oil filter topic. Lots of other guys in there recommending Amsoil and Wix oil filters. Will definitely try it.

I already have an engine cover, it's called the hood.

At 500 miles now and sound significantly better (meaning can’t really hear it at all anymore with the windows down). I didn’t do anything to the truck so who knows. Figured I’d mention it for anyone with a new truck to give it time. That said I will change the oil a about 2k just to be conservative.
