This is my first diesel, so I'm still getting acustom to all of the different sounds the motor makes. It seems like it just started doing this in the last couple of months and it goes away after the motor warms up a bit. I've had the truck for close to a year and a half & its got about 23K on it. Is this normal?
Thanks!
Mine does it too. Do a search for "typewriter" and you'll see lots of discussion on the subject. Nothing to worry about. (or so I've been told:))

Yep same hear. many post on it. Some have less ticking sound using different engine oils.

My buddy's LLY doesnt make any weird noises other than the normal marble box while running. I guess all the ticking/spring noise is better than replacing injectors every 30K!

It goes away after a few thousand miles on the new oil.
