I just bought a 2011 5.0 with around 18,000 miles. Still under warranty. Sounds like I have an exhaust leak kind of tick sound. I've spent the last couple of hours reading up about this. It seems to range and mine isn't all that loud and I think it's due to a recent oil change at the Ford dealership.

Should I be worried and take it to the dealership? Start saving up for a crate engine? lol

I would take it in if it is still under warranty.
