That's what I think. We use a 2016 Silverado at work with the Duramax diesel engine. It makes the same low rpm rattle. I still believe it is related to the high pressure pump and injectors.This might just be how the engine sounds, folks.
There's still no firm confirmation the rattle is associated with any specific engine problem.
The problem is that people may be hearing different sounds. I hear the same rattle that is in the OPs videos, but I can change the sound of the rattle by moving my shifter around, hinting to it being clutch chatter. Also, it became very quiet to the point where I can't even hear it after a little while. However, I am in the process of getting a new short block myself, with the initial diagnosis being at 500 miles of a 2019. My symptoms were a dull thudding/knocking sound, and metal in the oil filter. A brand new 2019, with 3 miles on it, made the same rattle. It did not, however, make the dull thudding I hear on my car. That was the biggest tell for me. I have, intermittently, heard a much deeper rattle as well. It sounded much more like what I'd expect piston slap to sound like. So there could even be two rattles going on. One indicating excessive piston slap, the other clutch chatter. The latter would obviously be limited to manual cars, and could be causing false concern.This might just be how the engine sounds, folks.
There's still no firm confirmation the rattle is associated with any specific engine problem.
The engine design was qualified through extensive testing by Ford. And you can bet those test engines were watched very carefully during production to ensure everything about them met the manufacturing drawings and specifications in terms of QA.... Ford really dropped the ball on QC, and have been rolling out a handful of engines that should have been sent back for a tear down. If there's any truth to the speculation that current orders are being delayed for this current issue, then that could mean Ford is delaying for a proper round of quality control. 7% of people, according to the poll of a rather small sample size, would also indicate a lack of QC as opposed to an actual design flaw because people are having different problems.
I've had the same issues since picking mines up in April. I have the 2000-2500 RPM rattle, the typewriter tick and clutch grind on shifts over 5k RPM. I've also had to add ~3.5 quarts of oil over 4100 miles (6600 KMs). I have taken my car into the dealer twice for the rattle/tick and was told either it was normal or wait for a TSB.Yea I'm a OG to this thread. Literally a week after I got my car @bigriver posted this thread and I noticed my rattle too.
I brought my car to my purchasing dealer and to another dealer and both told me to fuck off. Now at 4800 miles my car has burned about 2 quarts of oil and the rattle has never gone away.
I just ordered new tires because my sport cup 2's were shot. I'm hoping Ford gets a fix out to the dealers. I missed out on some great deals on left over Charger 2018 Hellcats so now I have to wait for the same deals on 2019's.
I have an update on my situation. Three weeks ago I took my car in to the same dealer for regular service and once again brought up the engine rattle as well as three other issues (non-engine related) which need to be fixed. The service manager drove the car and was able to replicate the 2200 RPM rattle on his own. I think I had one of the worst cases of the rattle based on all the videos I've seen on this issue. He drove the car when it was cold at which point it sounded like the motor is about to fall apart. In my case the rattle didn't go away when the car is warm and could be heard all the way to 4k RPM as you gradually gave it more throttle to go up through the RPM. The motor also burned a little under 2 quarts of oil in about 4500 miles. The service manager submitted a request for a new long block right after he replicated the rattle and Ford approved it and sent a replacement right away. It was just installed and the service manager confirmed that the new long block does not have the 2200 RPM rattle. I have not been able to drive the car since they are still working on the other issues. The service manager thinks the low rpm rattle was a bottom end issue but the dealer did not end up tearing into the motor because Ford approved a new long block the first time around solely based on the 2200 RPM rattle symptom with no other questions asked.Well dealership #2 also didn't think there are any issues. They told me to keep tracking the noises and to revisit the subject during the next service appointment. This is turning out to be a lottery for finding a dealer willing to look/tear into the motor based on one or two circumstantial noises without any obvious failures, CELs, etc. I am guessing most of us will keep getting this answer. Hopefully Ford will issue a TSB at some point.
Final Update: They took a few days to recalculate my worksheet and came back with a much favorable fee at $9, down from $2880. On November 27th my check was processed and cut. On November 29th I turned in my vehicle, signed the paperwork, and picked up my check. Now I wait for my loan to be paid off. Goodbye Ford.Update 11-14-2018: Got my refund worksheet. I am negotiating the fee. They miscalculated using the wrong mileage.
Absolutely correct and folks have to realize the F150 TSB is specific to ONLY the F150...The F-150 noise in the video sounds completely different compared to the low RPM rattle which this thread focuses on.
I had the tapping bad but ceratec fixed it, now my mustang only has the exact same noise as that f150Absolutely correct and folks have to realize the F150 TSB is specific to ONLY the F150...
YesYou leave the car at the dealer?
