[QUOTE="cidsamuth, post: 16238505, member: 110091"] OP, the problem with the internet and "sounds," is that one person's tick is another person's normal. I was one of the first with the 2011 5.0 (purchased April 2010) . . . and possibly the first to go prime time on the forums with a tick. I was the one who coined the "BBQ ignitor" description. The problem I saw as I tried to regulate the threads, is people were jumping in claiming to have the problem, but their sound ended up being something totally different. I had the "BBQ ignitor" tick that was very offensive. It occurred when hot and right off idle. Came from the bottom of the motor somewhere. But, I also had a washing machine kind of ticky sound at hot idle from the passenger side wheel well that was less offensive, but seems more common. I ended up suing Ford because they wouldn't give me another motor. After a year of stress, we settled with a new motor . . . and I got a hefty payout for my trouble. With the new motor, there was no BBQ ignitor tick, but it still had the idle sound. I just ignored it and pushed on. So, when people report a "tick," be sure what they are hearing. And, be sure what you need to look for when purchasing. [/QUOTE]
