Hi fellow 5.0 enthusiasts, my rpm needle jumps from 1500-1750 RPM when accelerating in 1st and 2nd gear (I've never seen this or heard of this before)
I don't know if it's an issue with the rpm gauge needle, an actual issue in the pistons, and/or directly related to the engine tick. My engine also thumps/knocks on idle when it gets warm.
Best way to describe it; when accelerating fast the rpm needle goes up smoothly in one motion, but anytime I accelerate slowly the needle skips very quickly from 1500-1750 rpm (always in that range where the tick also happens )
I'm pretty disappointed the tick is still here in the 2020 GTs and the RPM needle skipping is concerning... anyone know if this is common and not something to worry about?
How do I go about getting the rpm thing and engine tick diagnosed at the dealership?
Do I have to pay for diagnostic fee if there is no engine issue found? I hear that the fee is waived ONLY if there is a problem found that has to be fixed under warranty...
Typewriter tick started after 1st oil change like many
Car was purchased new, 2020 mustang gt MT @ 8k miles
Here is a clip of my engine tick/thumping, the thumping/knocking noise is VERY concerning because it's there on top of the tick
