A ticking sound coming from the 3.2L engine of your Ford Ranger is likely caused by the lifters. There are a few possible reasons for this noise, ranging in severity. Low oil levels could be the culprit, especially since the Ranger 3.2 engine is known to consume oil between oil changes. It's important to regularly check your oil level to prevent lifter noise. If your oil level is very low, it could indicate a leak or possibly a blown rear main seal. Another possibility is that the noise is simply a product of an aging vehicle, as lifters tend to become louder over time. Using high mileage oil may help reduce the noise, but for some older trucks, there may be limited solutions.

My 2018 Ford Ranger has only 60,000 kilometers on it. I hear a ticking noise when the engine gets warm, but there's no ticking during the first 5 minutes of idling or when I accelerate, indicating it might be a rocker arm issue.
