I did the Hillman spring fix a week ago and it works perfectly. Took me a few minutes to understand where to hook up the spring, but after that, it literally took about one minute to do on each side. I did not need to jack up the truck or remove anything to do the fix.I think there was a TSB for this at one point but not sure what years it applied to. Even with the TSB they can still rattle. Some have apparently fixed it with a spring from Lowes: Hillman part #543183

2015 - 2020 Ford F150 - 3.5 Wastegate rattle fixed! - To justanengineer ...THANK YOU!!! This really works! Adding a spring from the wastegate linkage to an anchor point on the turbo, the light spring pressure keeps the linkage from chattering. This is the Lowes spring and part number he posted...www.f150forum.com

I had to do the Hillman spring fix on my 2019. My truck sounded horrible at startup, and I could even hear the rattle in public garages after having driven the truck for numerous miles. The problem is now gone!!!!!

540183 or 543183? Amazon has 540183 and not 543183 but lowes does sell the 543
Want to know this as well.
