Why is my Ford Ranger engine making a strange ticking noise?

I recently purchased a Ford Ranger and noticed that the engine is making a strange ticking noise. It seems to happen more when I am accelerating. Is this normal or should I be concerned? I want to make sure my truck is running smoothly.

Hi Rachel, it's important to pay attention to any unusual noises from your engine. It could be a sign of a bigger issue. It's always a good idea to bring your truck to a trusted mechanic for an inspection.

Hey Rachel, I had a similar issue with my Ford Ranger and it turned out to be a loose valve. I would recommend taking it to a mechanic to get it checked out.
