Engine rattle/noise at start up

[FullAuto]

My truck went in on Monday. They said they had the cam phasers in stock and thought they could have it back by today pending issues or anything else they find. We will see....

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.

Three times is unacceptable. If the same parts keep failing, then something else around that area is also defective and likely this third time won't be a charm.

Third time as it was misdiagnosed twice. The tech tried a gasket between the turbo and manifold then new manifold and gasket. Neither solved the problem. Now, we are trying the phasers.

Over 30 days in the shop , is good grounds for lemon law.

So does the noise come from the engine bay or underneath the truck?

It's a cam phaser issue. It comes from the front of the engine.

I'd love to learn the true cause of the rattle I've had since first day of ownership coming from under the truck. I've taken mine to 4 different dealers in 2 States and have heard everything from "It's nothing, they all do that" to a transmission solenoid to a skid plate rattling (but couldn't identify if/where loose hardware would cause a skid plate to rattle).

Not a big deal, but we shouldn't have to deal with something like this on such a capable truck at their given price and when you consider what Gen1's sound like on startup.
