Why is my Ford Ranger making a ticking noise while idling?

I have a Ford Ranger with 50,000 miles and it's making a ticking noise while idling. What could be causing this issue and should I be concerned?

The ticking noise may be caused by a worn serpentine belt or loose components in the engine. It's important to get it checked by a mechanic to prevent any further damage.

I had a similar issue with my Ford Ranger and it turned out to be a faulty fuel injector. It's best to take it to a trusted mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

It could also be a problem with the engine's valve train. I recommend taking it to a mechanic for a thorough inspection.
