    I've noticed more recently in the extreme cold a ticking if I am standing outside of the truck. Is this normal? It's a 2018 TRD Sport with less than 3000 miles.

    Probably just the injectors cleaning. Normal for the engine to tick

    Holy smokes I hope mine never kinda like that. I heard they will tick if the injectors are in cleaning mode but that loud. Wow.

    Could be chatting squirrels trying to stay warm. I live in Montana. I have 18000 on the truck. I haven’t notice the chatter, but I will pay closer attention. Thanks for the heads-up
