I brought my Raptor to the dealer back in January for the dashboard replacement with about 6,000 miles on it. They replaced the dash and had to order a few parts to complete them which just came in last week. When I first brought the truck in for the dash I was hearing some knocking on acceleration which forced me to check the oil. I never got a low oil light, nor did the oil pressure gauge read too low. Long story short, back in January the dealer started the oil consumption test and 3,500 miles later it lost over a quart of oil so they performed TSB 19-2232 which replaced the valve covers and PCV system as well as a fresh oil change.
My question is this - the knocking noise (sounded like a bearing without oil), is what forced me to check the oil in the first place. Now I can't seem to get over the fact that I was low on oil and something must have suffered because of it. During acceleration I can hear the knocking noise. I've googled it and see that it's "common" for the 3.5 EB to have knocking and no I don't mean the sound of direct injection ticking. Does anyone else have a knocking noise and should I be concerned?
