2003 ranger engine knock/tick
I parked my truck for about 2 days and it was fine when I parked it but when I fired it up it had this tick or knocking sounds, wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem. We think it's the timing chain since I got a bunch of misfire codes but any extra info would be a great help, thanks.

Techron is available in shops and frequently goes on sale here in the US. Many people swear it's an effective cleaner.
Add it before a stint of local driving because it works upon shutdown.
FYI: Also, many will say your gas filter is overdue for replacement since you're at 185Kkm / 116K miles, but that wouldn't create a misfire/knock/tick condition overnight.
After you chase down your condition be aware that the oxygen sensors and timing chain tensioners are 160Kkm / 100K mile replacement items.
These are "Crossing the T's and dotting the I's things" to be done soon after you address your current problems.

Let see, this a 2003 V6~4.0L~SOHC + 5r55e Trans + 1354 TCase +...
Yep, a Bottle of InjectorCleaner & Tank of PremiumFuel once\twice a year does help.
At 185kClicks\116kMiles, it's overdue for
~ new Left+Right OilPressurized TimingTensioners (NotoriousFailureItems)
~ new Plugs+Wires; Clean+OhmCheck the CoilPack, renew if needed
~ new OxSensors 3each; Bosch# 15719 with 24inLong Cable+Plug will replace any Ford 4WireNarrowband OxSensor
~ new PCVValve, MotorCraft# ev243\ev268; inspect PCVHose+Tube assembly (NotoriousFailureItem) for cracks+leaks, renew if needed
~ new FuelFilter
Click above links for more info.
Also, inspect KnockSensor under IntakeManifold with its Cable~HarnessPlug on right side of Manifold; could be damaged.
Various other items should also be serviced at 50kClick\33kMile & 160kClick\100kMile intervals.
Hope this helps.
