constant clicking noise, I swear it wasn't there before. showed up when my entire car started vibrating / shaking.
after listening to it on youtube, its had to hear the ticking but its, there.

When it's cold out, yes. When it warms up, I can't hear anything. Does your car shake while it sits in park by chance? mine does When i first start the car up, otherwise it wont reperat itself and i have no clue what it could be. It isn't a constant shake, but rather off and on every 10 seconds or so.

Even mine has it, and it's an 08 4.0L
Goes away after the engine temp gets to normal levels. Worried me for a while, but oddly it's only when it is very cold outside (just like bigredstang said). And the Ford techs keep saying that it's normal, but you might want to get yours checked out just to be safe (they are two very different engines, after all).

I agree with Funster, put the stock tune back in first.
Finding the locations of a noise is usually pretty simple. You can get a mechanic's stethescope from Autozone for $10.00

Or you can use a paper towel tube to locate noises like exhaust leaks, pulley bearings... noises that are from the outside of the engine. Put one end next to your ear and move the other end to different parts of the engine.
You can use a 18" screwdriver, a one inch diameter wood rod to put on any part of the motor that is safe, and stick the other end in your ear. You'll hear internal noises clearly and they'll be loudest when you have it touching the closest to the noise. ie: if the noisiest point is the water pump, the water pump bearing is going out. If the noisiest point is the left valve cover, you have a cam bearing or lifter problem. You need to be careful, you hurt your car if you get something stuck in a moving part.
