    Engine rattle/noise at start up

    My parts are now in stock, too. But, they can't get it in until next Tuesday. I'm well over 30 days in the shop now and this is the third attempt to fix it. I'm still trying to find out if the parts are updated or the same ones the factory put in when it was built in November 2017.

    Engine rattle/noise at start up

    Ok. I opened a case this morning and was told I'd be contacted by a Regional Manager within 1 business day. I'm hoping they can answer my question.

    Engine rattle/noise at start up

    Can you tell if a part has been updated by the suffix after the number? Mine was determined last week to have the cam phasers replaced and no one can tell me if it's updated parts or the same as I have now.

    Cam Phaser/ Engine Failure Poll

    After replacing the turbo gasket and it didn't work, the tech decided it was the exhaust manifold gasket. During the replacement the truck sat all weekend and he finished last Monday. Started the truck and the noise was still present. Now, a Ford engineer has heard the rattle and determined...

    Now, I think they recognize it's the phasers. I'll find out Monday when parts are available.

    Raptor Owners Awaiting the C8 Arrival

    I’m interested from a car guy perspective. Been considering trading my GT350 on a C7 Z06 for a while.

    They know the sound and aren't questioning it. It happens every morning. I get home around 5 and start it up at 4:30 M-F.

    Cam Phaser/ Engine Failure Poll

    Got it back on Thursday after they changed the gaskets. Sound was back on Friday. I’ll be talking to the dealer tomorrow. If I’m honest, I am pretty disappointed. When I hear the sound, it’s like there is no oil. Is this a problem with anything but the chain guides? Or, is there more to it?

    If they are correct, I'll be very happy. I will.

    Cam Phaser/ Engine Failure Poll

    The technician believed it to be a gasket leak near the turbo. They sealed my exhaust and smoked it and there was a leak. Replacing the gaskets and I'm supposed to get it back tomorrow. I hope that this is it. Would be much better than what sounded like an oil starved motor..

    Tech sent my videos to Ford and we still haven’t gotten a response. It’s been in the shop since Friday the 21st.

    That’s great news. I hope you get many miles and no more issues.

    Cam Phaser/ Engine Failure Poll

    This is the first time I have taken it in. I wasn't sure it wasn't 'normal' when I first heard it. Started investigating and it progressively has gotten worse. Dealer told me they heard it again this morning, they are waiting on Ford to tell them what to do.

    It has been happening about every third or fourth start since 11K. More pronounced after the truck sat a few days because I was driving my car.

    Cam Phaser/ Engine Failure Poll

    It's been gradual. Started for a split second, now it's three. Sounds like no oil and I wouldn't imagine it's good for my motor. At 23k miles, I'd like it recorded that there is a problem or get it fixed. I plan on keeping it a while. No failure yet, just a sickening sound at start up.

    I've been notified that the service technician sent my videos to Ford Hotline and told them that it's the same sound he heard on start up.

    Thank you. The sound I captured is very similar to what I have heard online. I really have been happy with the truck, just hoping to get it fixed. The service writer and tech have been really good to me and I think they are just trying to figure it out.

    I had an appointment for first thing this morning. They heard it on start up and nothing else was done today. Told me that it sounded like the left turbo. Will look into it tomorrow. 2 days down, 28 to go.

    So far they think it's in my left turbo. Getting looked at now.

    I have 23K on it now. I noticed the rattle around 13K, it wasn't every time I started.

    Bought it back because they couldn’t fix it?
