Default new 4.7 ticking question

I just bought a new 06' 1500 with the 4.7 motor and was wondering what normal noises this motor makes...I cranked it up and opened the hood and noticed a slight ticking noise that seems to come from both sides of the motor....its not very loud but it is noticeable!! thanks

Default RE: new 4.7 ticking question

Most likely culpret is the injectors sequencing,each time an injector actuates it makes a slight tick.Your truck being an '06 I would say this is what your hearing,on a much older truck,it might be a valve train tick,but 4.7L's are pretty solid engines and I dont know of any other 4.7L tick problems!
