    I’ve been hearing this noise from my truck for a couple of months now, to me sounds kind of like a very faint rod knock. Doesn’t make me feel any better that it seems louder towards the bottom of the engine. Oil level is good. It’s hard to hear in the video but there’s a tick and then the sound underneath that is what I’m talking about. Anybody heard this before?

    Sounds about normal for a 2nd gen, they aren't known to be a quiet as a churchmouse engine.

    Miles?

    She's right at 134k, I've had the truck about 2 years and it's still finding ways to surprise me with the amount of noise it makes! Guess I need to stop looking for problems.
