I can’t tell honestly. I only know the rattle I heard on mine was obnoxiously loud so there was no debate that it was not normal.

Thanks! It’s my first Ram and I like it a lot. I was also able to get the Mopar lifetime warranty before they stopped offering it. it’s smooth but I miss the rumble from the Mustang lol.

Yes it is a mystery! For me I guess it brings bad back memories of a ‘78 Ford Fairmont that my Dad owned which had an obnoxious and embarrassing rattle lol. There were several changes for the 2019+ that it can be a number of things. I’m no expert but with the changes to the bore liner, it...

I haven’t been on here for a long time and sad to see it is still happening. I couldn’t tolerate the rattle so it’s a personal choice. I’m sure mechanically it is probably not a long term issue. Dealing with a buyback is a huge PITA but if you have build a solid case then eventually Ford buys...

Sorry to hear this brother. IMO it seems like Ford rushed to get the new engine into production. Some GT350 builds had this same issue but they also have forged pistons which seem to be better suited for the spray bore liner and not cause long term damage. I was also looking at adding a...

didn't realize you had manual. this applies to automatic.

Be sure to send them this video. I can hear it.

Maybe the parking pawl.

Can't believe this is still happening. I can hear your rattle, but it is not as obnoxious as the one I had or some others. Was your video taken when the engine was cold or warm? If it mostly goes away when warm then that is a good sign. My engine was fine during idle or in neutral. Only...

New in package MMR secondary tensioner bracket. Part number 468995 for 2018+ 5.0 Coyote. I no longer have my Mustang and found this in my parts bin at home. Was never installed and kept in the shipping box. $60 shipped. More details on mmr website...

It could be likely they don't get the parts and take a while to install.

I had to take the initiative to get pictures from their borescope and take my own pics of the damage. Otherwise would not have done anything other than change the parts and send the engine back to Ford.

It depends on whether the dealer suspects the tune caused the problem. They can't tell what was changed, but there is a counter that tracks how many times a reflash occurred. So worst case is they ask you to explain each occurrence. If they haven't said anything then i wouldn't worry about it.

It's a known symptom for the GT350 (see OASIS note in the first post). Ford determined it's not a long-term problem for that engine. Note that the GT350's have forged pistons while the GT has hypereutectic. So far, as far as I know, Ford has been silent as to whether there will be any...
