Closing in on 100k miles

[Kalis]

Just about to hit 100k on the clock. 2017 with everything minus sun roof.

I have not had 1 single issue. Only oil changes. Its never been in for some mechanical or electrical problem since i've owned it. (bought with 30k on the odo)

I tow 24' enclosed with 4k lb car(have air bags) .... go to silver lake sand dunes, do some mild off roading... and tons of freeway driving.

I have the bumper to bumper 100k mile warranty thats about to expire.
There is a 2 sec rattle on cold starts. Doesnt matter if its 80 or 2 degrees outside. (im in Michigan)

I havent answered any phone calls with numbers i dont recognize.. so i probably missed the extended warranty opportunities.

You guys have any advise on warranties after 100k miles?

The truck does have a 2 sec cold start rattle. Been like that for at least a year. Hasnt gotten worse... doesnt rattle if the truck is somewhat warm. Never bothered me until i read all the cam phaser stuff here. lol.
Would you suggest i open that can of worms while it still has the warranty.. or just let it live.
Transmission sometimes jumps a bit when shifting from park to drive... its super intermittent. Never really bothered me.

I love love love this truck. I had the Gen 1 for 120k miles as well... and this Gen 2 has been amazing.

If you have warranty, I would get the cam phasers done, I think they reprogram the parameters at the same time, might help with everything. I would do fluid changes on your diffs and stuff as well. Maybe get the plugs replaced, unless you're thinking of trading up soon. Sounds like a typical FORD, it has treated you well.

You might want to replace that air filter after 100k too!

If you believe you have a concern under warranty take it to the dealer and have it diagnosed and confirmed while under warranty. Good luck with your next 100k!

2017 models have a TSB for a wastegate rattle in cold start; that may be the noise you are hearing. The repair procedure is simple and only involves a slight modification to the wastegate linkage.

If the rattle goes away by holding the gas to the floor & letting it crank like that an extra 4-5 seconds (like hold the key in the start position or just hold the start button down w/o taking finger off) then it’s cam phasers

if it doesn’t then it’s probably the turbo actuators/wastegate linkage as other poster mentioned- not a major concern, if you look up under the driver side wheel well area you should be able to get a good view of the turbo on that side & may be able to confirm that’s where the rattles coming from or not too after determining if it’s cam phasers or not


If cam phasers I’d have them fix it, otherwise I’d just change all
The fluids & keep driving it

get the cam phasers done. I did that on my 2017 and they changed a bunch of other stuff at the same time. No more cold start up sounds. They just had the truck for 3 days, and gave me a loaner.

CoronaRaptor, are the cam phasers covered by a Ford TSB, or do we need to pay out of pocket for that repair?

Certain build dates are covered, @FordTechOne knows all the in's and outs of what's covered though.

TSB are not covered outside of warranty unless the manufacturer issues an extended coverage program.
