Seeking Advice on Persistent Tapping Noise Is It My Broncos Lifters

Hey everyone,

I’m hoping to get some insight from fellow owners. My 2022 Bronco has recently developed a light tapping sound on cold starts, and it seems to fade once the engine warms up. I’ve read a few threads suggesting it could be related to the Bronco lifter issue, but opinions seem mixed.

Has anyone here dealt with a similar noise? Did it turn out to be lifter wear, oil choice, or something completely different?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences before I schedule a full inspection.
