Flashing check engine light is a catalyst damaging misfire. How many miles are on the truck? Spark plugs are due for replacement at 100k miles at the absolute maximum.

I just checked PTS and Ford released a service message on 2/28 with software updates to correct this concern. So the dealer just needs to reprogram the door modules to resolve.

Ok, but did you perform the relearn before tint? Relearn isn’t uncommon, but repeat loss of functionality is. And it’s 99% of the time due to something aftermarket, whether that be 3rd party accessories tied into the circuits or window tint, vent visors, etc.

Not really. Sounds like a lash adjuster or timing drive issue. Did you just buy it used? Most engine issues are traced back to poor maintenance.

You’re a joke. Find something better to do with your life than troll forums. Every single engine failure we’ve seen shows bearing wear and top end damage from lack of maintenance or running it low on oil. But you keep playing technician behind your keyboard.

Do you have vent visors or tinted windows?

It should be changed between 30k and 50k depending on use case. Also, if the axle is submerged in water (boat launch, off road) the fluid will be contaminated, resulting in failure.

Well, you’re at least partially right. https://www.reuters.com/default/us-opens-probe-into-14-million-honda-vehicles-over-engine-issues-2024-11-11/

Was the fluid ever changed? Worn out gear oil is the primary cause of differential bearing wear/damage.

Sounds like wastegate rattle. Nothing to be concerned with. If you apply pressure to the linkage with a tool (needle nose pliers, etc) and it changes, you’ve confirmed it. The shifter positions do not light up. They have the display on the instrument panel for that purpose. The hesitation on...

Never said that at all. Just calling out your misinformation.

It is normal. Explained it earlier in the thread. Throwing parts will not change anything.

Wrong. Closed deck blocks have zero issues. Once again, you have no clue. Everything you “know” is from a google search. Nope. That’s the Dragon engine, and we see no issues with them. But you’re angry at it because it’s small, right? :rolleyes: If you neglect to ever check your oil and run...

Agree with this. The DTCs need to be properly diagnosed by the dealer. The 6.2 is known to have heat/age/chafe related harness damage going down to the transmission. If it has headers, that’s even more probable.

The valve covers need to be removed because the solenoid connectors will prevent proper seal installation.

This is absolutely comical coming from someone who has zero experience in any OEM service department. The first Gen 2.0 was fine, did you read something bad about it on Google? Ford doesn’t even make a 1.3, I suppose your google AI search told you that too? :rolleyes: 5.0 never had an “issue...

Your opinion of quality is irrelevant when you exaggerate and embellish everything to get attention. Underbody chassis components aren’t painted like a an exterior body panel. They will develop surface rust that has zero affect on the longevity of the components. The only people I hear...

It won’t work without being programmed. Remember it’s transmitting sensitive security messages between the key and BCM.

Only when cold or all the time?

There is no “4th gear”. The components that are applied in 4th gear are used among others. If the concern is a hesitation on the 3-4 shift after sitting, that’s a normal characteristic caused by clutch drainback.

Did you program the new RTM or just install it? It requires PMI with a scan tool when replaced.

Yes, but timing cover removal only. More to come.

I have been informed that this is under investigation. Do not have the dealer attempt any repairs at this time.

They need to check the axle housing breather tube. If it’s restricted, kinked, damaged, etc it will not allow the pressure to equalize and it will push fluid through seals.

You make zero sense.
