    Hummm, metal rubbing on metal without oil pressure! Sounds like a good recipe to me.

    2019 heading in for cam phaser repair

    I am a mechanically inclined and would of did the job myself. But the truck was under warranty. I can say the stealership did a good job. I looked for loose or missing bolts. I talked to the tech, and they do these all week long. Like second nature to them by now. Take it in and get it fixed.

    Cold start rattle in the turbo

    No Tsp will not fix that knock is bad. My jaw dropped when I heard that. That is really bad knock. I heard the cam phaser rattle, and go away when oil pressure was built up. I hear the wastegate rattle clearly. Man that knock is horrible. Beware.

    Cold start rattle in the turbo

    You wonder if that knock is the sway bar. This seems like a horrible design. It is metal on metal. I never seen that before. The swaybar is always sandwiched between bushings.

    Panoramic Moon Roof..Good idea or asking for trouble?

    I brought the truck in for sunroof rattel. I asked if there was a way to permanently stop the rattle, instead of greasing the gasket every few months. Both service advisors that were in the office, chuckled and said "we would never buy a ford with a sunroof" That was their way of saying, they...

    I did not notice a service light, I olny had it unplug for less that 60 seconds. It was only the driver side that the dealer replaced. Pretty soon the passenger will need to be replaced. It is starting to rattle.

    Test the same setup on your tv in the house, see if you get video. You might be sending a high resolution to ancient technology.

    Cold start rattle in the turbo

    I started the truck with the technician and service manager in the service bay. I reved up truck, the tech heard the rattel. I had him unplug the electrical connector to the wastegate. And rattel was gone. The tech was shocked, a turbo with such low miles was bad. Before that I was explaing...

    Cold start rattle in the turbo

    Ya I hear you there. if you do get a new turbo, check your fluids before you take it in for repair. Then check oil and antifreeze before you pick it up. My truck was 1.5 quarts low on oil after the turbo change, the dealer never filled the oil back up that leaked out.
