Mine ticks at times. I bet what most people are hearing when they hear the "type writer" sound is the pilot injection.

Mine is getting louder, i think it might be the exhaust manifold leaking.

yes the typewriter noise is normal. I just had new heads put on my truck and that was the only reason i was concerned. Mine never made the noise before. since i first posted it has started ticking very loud and i have determined that it is a exhaust leak on the passenger side.
