I disagree. The space white is that pearlescent greyish white right? A friend had a 450 with the white platinum tri coat metallic and it was pretty ugly.
I agree that this isn’t a typical scenario, but it does duplicate a quick pass, then decel situation. It also makes the same noise under WOT about 1 out of 4 pulls. It’ll reach redline, and then the trans acts like it doesn’t want to upshift, and then it grinds and loses power.
Thanks for the tips. I’ll ask about that when I meet up again with management on Monday. I picked the truck up today, but I’m meeting with the big dogs on Monday to figure out what we’re going to do.
Just for kicks, I tried to duplicate the issue pulling it out of the dealership today.
I’ll find out what paperwork I’ll get in the morning. They were agreeable to my request this afternoon. This is the same dealer that sold me this truck (at msrp), so they’ve always honored their word.
Well, pretty disappointed today. I talked to the dealership, and while they think the sound is coming from the supercharger, Ford engineers have told them that it’s a normal supercharger sound. That’s it. Three weeks of beating on it with no resolution.
Negative. It’s box stock. Out of desperation, I asked Whipple for their feedback since they offer a new kit and I assume they might know something. Also, Eaton won’t talk to peons.
The Whipple rep was super responsive and said that even if I wanted to order their new 3.8l SC, I better get my...
My ‘23 order that never came in was a Carbonized Grey. I really wanted Magnetic to match my other one, but it was close enough. It never came in and I went Shelter Green for the ‘24 order, thinking it would never come in either.
My dealer mentioned a program they have that I’m assuming works like a Zoom call with engineers. I think they can share real time diagnostics too.
Sorry to hear about your truck.
I have not, but that’s something I should probably look at.
The issue is that I think it’s tied to performance. I can duplicate it every time by doing what I did in the video, but sometimes it’ll do it with heavy throttle only. It’ll reach red line, and instead of up-shifting, it’ll hang out...
My initial thought was that it was coming from the driver side transmission tunnel, since I can feel the vibration in the floorboard. However, now I’m thinking it’s from under the hood.
I just took a drive in my ‘17 3.5 and swear I got it to do a mild version of that sound by heavy...
Same. I’m driving my 2017 for the first time since April and the AC in it is way better.
Also, my ‘24 has acted like it’s frozen up twice now. On the first time, it just wasn’t blowing hard. I thought it was a mixing door malfunction or a clogged filter. Filter was good, and in the ten minutes...
I’ve duplicated it in 2nd and 4A, regular and sport mode, and in all of the exhaust modes.
The IWE was my first suspect, but it doesn’t sound like the IWE issue on my ‘17. Plus, I thought I read that the Gen 3+ had an electronic system now?
Edit- I haven’t tried it in 4Hi and now I’m wondering...
Yes, Storm Trooper’s saga is the only thing remotely close to what I’m experiencing. Weeks of searching yielded very little.
I just got a text from the GM and it sounds like Ford engineering is getting involved tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
In the meantime, I’m getting to make up lost time in my...
Damn, that lead foot grey airbag cover is weird.
I’ve had this awful sounding issue since the first week. It’s been in and out of the dealership and they can’t figure it out. No codes. I’m giving them until tomorrow before taking it somewhere else.
So, I’ve had this issue since the first week of ownership, and it’s got 5,000mi so far. It’s been at the dealership a week now, and they’re no closer to figuring it out.
I saw two members here that described the same symptoms, but I’m not sure if they’re related.
I can get it to make an awful...
Thanks. As an update, I just got a text from the lead tech at the dealership. They’ve had the truck for a week and haven’t found the issue. I did reach out to Whipple, and after watching a short video I made, they think it’s either the exhaust valve or the SC pulley clutch.
I relayed my...
Can I ask how you what harness you used and how you configured them? I’ve got 4 LP9s mounted, but I’m waiting for a custom harness. I’m dead set on wiring them to my high beam as a trigger. I hate cruising back roads with my hand hovering below the up fitter switch on my other truck. Thanks!
