Ingested some water, looks like it to me. Sounds bad.
Power wash the engine bay and the whole underneath of your truck before letting the dealer see that!!!
Clean the intake thoroughly! If the tech sees dirt caked on in there, they will know you plowed through deep water.

here, on frf
yes, thats definitely water. i have seen this happen firsthand. if you keep running it, it will shred itself to bits. lets just say the top of the motor came off so it could be dried out and cleaned before it went in for a new motor

Sounds like a vacuum line is off...? Could cause some issues..What's that hissing noise before the grind? Would Think it's a CAI noise, but don't see that in video.

Either, sucks. Good luck and may the force be with you.

The louder sounds that kick in late may be dried mud in the intercooler fans. I had that issue and had a huge sigh of relief when I cranked it up after cleaning them out. If you didn’t go into really deep water and you’re airbox or CAI didn’t fill up, I don’t see why you’d have internal issues coz I’ve had my ‘17 Raptor in some serious mud and water over the last few years and my engine compartment is filthy too. Hope it’s simple and you get back out there soon!
