[QUOTE="DallasBoss, post: 13185239, member: 151672"] I had the same tick after my first oil change using Amsoil 10-40 with an Amsoil filter. The tick gradually became less loud after a few thousand miles, but never completely went away. I finally had the dealer attempt to fix the issue. The service guy said they had two other 5.0s making the same noise, and that the noise for one started right after they, the dealer, performed a spec'd Motorcraft oil change. So that eliminated using non spec'd oil as the cause. Ultimately, a Ford engineer was brought in and supposedly found a solution, which was to address the accessory belt pulley configuration. If I remember correctly, the engineer believed that uneven stress was being placed on the crank pulley, which was causing the tick. I asked why this tick started after an oil change and nobody knew the answer. I picked up the car after the new pulley configuration was completed and the tick was gone, but after changing my oil again, this time to Amsoil 10-30 SS, the tick came right back, although I believe not quite as loud. The dealer says I need to drop off the car again so they can restart their diagnosis, which is pointless because none of their techs has a clue what the cause is. They will just let the car sit till Ford sends another engineer out. I'm thinking of just contacting Ford engineering myself to get the ball rolling on another solution. Total PITA. [/QUOTE]
