    At idle in can go into the cleaning cycle and is a little noisy, you can always take it to the dealer if you suspect something else.

    The direct injectors use a high pressure fuel pump. It's common to hear noise from a direct injection engine.

    Thanks. Didnt hear this on my 2nd gen 15’. My truck sounds like my dads 16’ f250. Runs fine though
