Small update I did my oil change truck has 1800 miles and I put the full 10 qts in instead of 9.5 and it is 75% better. doesn't show overfull on dipstick but is at the top. I sent the old oil sample out to blackstone to be tested. Hopefully Ford figures this out before my Whipple shows up.
You mean 11.5 qts?

Whatchu talking bout Willis? Why are you using less oil than recommended?

Update. My truck has been at the dealer since the 17th…They replaced the idler pulley which I don’t believe got rid of the noise. They are now replacing the belt tomorrow. I’m not remotely convinced that’s the issue, having seen the belt myself. This whole process has me pretty bummed out.

That's basically where I'm at. Dealer originally replaced tensioner and a couple belts which didn't correct the squeak, now they're thinking idler pulley which we're currently waiting on parts for. Unless it's some weird combination of belts and pulleys it seems that we're still at square one on this issue. I called Ford Customer Service today and they opened a file but won't escalate anything right now because the dealer is currently planning a repair. If the pulley doesn't solve the issue then they will look into it more. When I have more news I'll update, really annoying problem this is.
