    So I now have 6,000 miles on the new truck and I'm starting to get a loud ticking noise in the motor. I know other people have posted on here that these new 3.5s aren't the quietest motors in the world which is fine but mine is borderline starting to sound like a quiet diesel . So my question, is anyone else in the same boat and it's just a harmonic of this motor.

    Common for a direct injection motor to be louder.

    Gotcha. Thanks for the answer. Never owned a vehicle with direct injection before.
