3.0 HO engine noise/sound

[Santinoisbad]

My engine sounds like a diesel when idling...I am embarrassed to say I didn't listen to any other trucks before I purchased because there are very few in my area. I can't seem to upload a video clip of the sound either.

You should go back to the dealer and have them repair it. The '25 I drove was the most quiet truck I've ever driven. From the driver seat I literally had to look at the tachometer to even tell if it was running.

Having said that, sounding like a diesel would be a great quality.

Is it fast clicking?
Could be the high pressure fuel pump and would be normal.

Otherwise I’d suspect an exhaust leak. Probably at the turbo.

Mine is completely quiet, I have close to 4,000 miles on it now and it has never been loud at idle.
