Unfortunately there is no alternative that I know, switching manufactures won't resolve it.. Just the way it is, exchanging dissatisfied customers from one brand to another. It's a wash in the end.
Before Ford backs thier product they deny and put the onis on the customer. That's the problem, not owning up to the shortfalls of meeting budgets and sales objectives. My personal experience that is.......
Yes extended warranty is a must in these situations! It's not getting "back" at Ford, it's getting what your owed. Sorry my gripe is with Ford engineers and CEO's not members of this chat.
These engines can be quiet with all those moving parts because the frequency in which they all move is so close together, the overall noise may be at a high decable but harmonious. It's when a particular sound stands out that makes it a noise in the engine not a noisy engine.
Have a look at the video attachment to tsb 20-2023. This tsb is in regards to diesel type knock. I am ALL too familair with it. Your video doesn't show case it however if you post one at idle focusing on the passengers wheel well, if it's there you'll here it. FORD SAYS IT'S NORMAL AND NOT...
Thanks, good to know. In respect to the BBQ on mine it to shows up after fresh oil then slowly diminishes to nothing by about 1300kms into the oil change. It makes me cringe every time I have to change my oil and get re introduced to the tick.
Thanks for the reply👍. Im interested in the fact that you use Penzoil U P. Been thinking of switching from Castrol Edge Synthetic 5w30. I believe your not the first post I've read that claims the Coyote 5. 0 runs quieter on Penzoil Ultra Platinum.
Reluctantly thinking of using ceratec but am concerned with the color and consistency. Does a bottle change the color
/transparency of fresh oil? Has anyone witnessed any deposits on engine parts? My concerns are specifically regarding variable cam timing and phaser oil passage ways/screens...
Noisy ENGINES are not an issue most if not all of the time but a noise in the engine is. I say this as a tech and owner of a P. O. S 5.0. All you guys with the "noisy" engines or better yet quiet ones I envy.
