I know I’m forgetting some, what’s your build dates?

Also curious, if anyone else is checking this post and has a 24R that doesn’t make the noise, can you chime in?

6/24 build date on the door jamb.

My truck has 2400 miles. @BoostCreep any change for you?

Met with shop foreman and Ford engineer this afternoon. Engineer is a sharp guy, he heard the noise. He said he was going to do some additional investigating. I feel like it was a good use of time, going on 28 days at dealership now, I just want to enjoy the truck.

Hopeful somebody resolves soon, I do agree it’s an issue at scale and likely in the early stages of discovery of bad manufactured part etc.

Is everyone experiencing this aside from boost a late 24 build?

I’m not sure if this is a temperature or humidity thing but I’m at 4,900 miles now and have done two oil changes, and mine has gotten quieter when it does happen and now doesn’t happen every time anymore. When I used the stethoscope it was coming from the front of the passenger head area on top where the cams and valves are. But who knows.

Anyone have any updates on this? My truck is almost at 4k miles and almost sounds louder at times.

Ford has marked it as a normal engine characteristic and is not doing further diagnosis or repair.

I have been informed that this is under investigation. Do not have the dealer attempt any repairs at this time.

No repair attempt, but do they have an indication of potential causes at all? Like something internal vs external?

Normal for a ford no matter what you pay for it or call it it’s still a ford going to make noise . All mine did the same thing on about # 11 even my favorite. Still better than the GM or Dodge .

Yes, but timing cover removal only. More to come.

Thank you! 3k in and mine is loud.

I need to take my truck to the dealer either way. I am pretty sure 4th gear is going out.
