So you did everything right and just need to verify if you actually have a tick. Then, you decide if you want to live with it or dump ceratec in. Ford has no fix for this and says its a characteristic of the 5.0
Have them run diagnostic on it and discuss the issue. This looks like something you can't just fix in the garage DIY and can become a safety issue while driving. Haven't seen another post for this issue, maybe someone else will know whats going on. best of luck
What fuel is the car tuned to? And these engines are sensitive, a hot day versus a cold day can be a dramatic difference in "oomf". Hot day down here in florida mine is suttle and a little laggy. Cold day and that thing shouts and crackles, much snappier
Sounds fine. If you get a "typewriter" sounding tick under low load (1k-2k RPM, drive near a wall or curb windows down) then that is when to consider oil additive or up the oil weight
I've only been able to reduce/eliminate tick with Ceratec to the specified treatment per quart on th eback of...
Passenger window was dropping half an inch, mine had a tantrum with it for about a month, and then all of a sudden the issue just went away. What changed? Who knows. All I know is that I use the automatic window dropper with the key fob more often, and the car sat for awhile. Common issue, no...

Yeah I got a 16 5.0 w/ MT82 and same thing happens to me every time on shift from1 to 2. Some decent mechanical noise jargon with it every time as well.
I say driver error...if I don't floor the clutch and I release high on 2nd its much smoother. But I like to stomp and jam so...be smoother...
Update:
Driven 500 miles, MoS2 has done nothing to quiet down engine tick.
As of now, only Ceratec has made the tick go away.
I guess now my question is, should I add Ceratec every oil change?
I'm not disregarding that its hot as hell in Florida right now on 5W20 and this is tough to...
Hey,
I notice at take off a creaking sound from the front drivers side when pulling away in first gear. Anyone else ever experience this?
Underbody looks good and tight, has nothing to do with engine tick as I already have that and can decipher the two noises. Can't seem to pin point the...
2016 GT 5.0 with Steeda CAI, stock Throttle Body. I can hear the gulp/choke/pop sound sporadically from the CAI and after some research with similar issues on other cars, sounds like a throttle body clean or replacement is needed.
Being drive by wire TB, what is the proper way to clean the TB...
