I have to answer that question with a question, do you have any enemies? Other than that your ticking wasn't clarified, where sound is coming from, is it coming from underneath after you've driving it = catalytic converter burning off deposits or tin shroud cover on exhaust same are cooling off. A steady ticking from engine when it is running may indicate a failing rocker arm or hydraulic lifter, 1/2 a quart of tranny fluid added to engine oil usually quiets hydraulic lifter problems. If engine is missing the ticking can be the sound of spark jumping from sparkplug wires to metal, open the hood at night and with engine running look for sparks, if v6, you may need a mechanics mirror to see over back side of engine to watch for sparks jumping. There are also other possibilities depending on where sound is coming from such as a rock in brakes, or snow studs in tires clicking on pavement. There could be a cricket inside your van, this sound would subside in a few hours in hot sun with windows rolled up. Someone who drives van maybe lost their alarms clock in the seats, the one they take to work each day to sleep on the job, I've seen that happen before. I hope all this info will assist you in how to find your ticking sound
