Here in California if they keep your vehicle more than thirty days they owe you a new one. That is probably why they say drive your truck until parts come in.
If it was only that easy....

I found it very easy. Lawyer did most of the work I grew tired of Ford snowballing me. I can go on and on but at the end of the day we pay a premium for a new vehicle free of defects and if they can't fix it with in what the court defines as a reasonable time frame then they owe us what we paid or a new truck.

Any word on the 4th quarter TSB ???
It may actually be like all the other attempts that Ford has fixing the ecoboost. I doubt they release anything. If they did, it would be egg on their face that there is an actual problem. They would not want that for their halo engine.

Started my "repaired" 2018 SCREW this morning to discover the same clicking I had before! What a mess! I can see why some guys are trading in their 2017s and 2018s for 2019s or 2020s.
I can't handle a $10-20K loss to get a 2020, so I'll head on back to the dealer and see what they want to do.
Very frustrating for a $70k+ truck.

Sorry to hear!
How many miles since the repair?

When did you have it repaired? The 'new' phasers weren't in existence until sometime in September, so if you got it done before then you got the same POS phasers that are prone to fail.
