Bought a new 2022 Mustang Gt base 5 speed and on way home stopped to buy a coffee (2 hour drive home from dealership,) and in the line up parked beside building I can here a lifter tick.....Nope! Dreaded bbq tick at 130 kilometers and 800 kilometers later on cold start up it sounds like piston slap. Called dealership I purchased from and they said "Normal operating characteristic of the coyote 5.0.) I saved 2 small video clips too. Sad to say I got rid of the stang 4650kms later.

Welcome to bbq tick club. It seems ford says it's normal. I put 2 bottles of ceratec, every oil change and it def quieted it down, cant even hear it anynore. I have 8000 miles on my 2021 GT.

All Mustangs tick. Most of the noise is the DI. None of it hurts anything.

Selling the car because of ticks is...............a choice.
