    Cam Phasers or Turbo Wastegate Rattle?

    Engine rattling and transmission

    The dealer did a "relearn" of the transmission and say it's "fixed". They agree that the rattle is likely the wastegate. They are saying "normal" and "within normal operation". SO frustrating as it is so loud and lasts so long. This noise didn't use to be there, and the turbos only have 30k...

    Engine rattling and transmission

    Well that would surely stink... sounds awful - I'm embarrassed to turn on my car in front of clients, and it wasn't always there. Hoping they find something different.

    Sounds like rubbing, speed dependent

    Hi ~ 2018 4x4 edition. I have what sounds like a speed variable "rubbing" noise coming from the front left. I had tires rotated, noise persisted. The sound gets louder as I accelerate (not engine related, happens when foot off pedal). Loudest around 35-40 miles an hour. It might continue after...

    Swapping out 2018 Front end parts

    All of the front and plastic and body parts of my 2018 Expedition XLT Fx4 were just crumpled in an accident. All underlying mechanicals are fine... two thoughts while doing total rebuild 1) curious if 2018 Navigator front end parts could be purchased in rebuild and fit (quarter panels, lights...
