I'm sure that's what most of us have but, until Ford actually knows the cause and what the actual, real remedy is, I'm driving mine and living with it. I do NOT want to go through short/long blocks, buy-backs into new cars that do the same thing, etc. There will be a fix at some point.
My BMW sounds nothing like my Mustang. There is no rattle at any RPM level. The fuel injection clicking is present in both cars, but it sounds much quieter.
I've never seen, either in person or via a video, someone who doesn't have the rattle, at least when cold, on a 2018/2019. Everyone who has gotten a relacement also has the rattle. Some do it all the time, some only when cold. In my case, the first engine did it all the time and the second only when cold.
Makes me wonder how many guys are driving around with the 2K rattle and don't even realize it. I can hear it going on at 2K in both those videos. Sounds like a diesel engine.
Piston slap only occurs under certain engine RPM and loads ... not at all RPM and loads. I bet if someone was climbing a steep hill at 2K RPM with lots of throttle the rattle would be gone or noticeable different because of the changed engine load. Your light throttle vs acceleration through 2K basically proves that same point.
Not with the new engine, but on my old I tried to. I think one of my videos in my old engine replacement thread has it. It rattled around 1k rpm and then faded. It also sounds a lot like bearing rattle, tbh.
Never rattled doing that in my car in the past. It may do it now.
I've tried it after I pulled it in the garage to see if I could hear it more pronounced since it's an enclosed space. Can't hear it at all. Literally no rattle doing this. It's only under load while driving.
That's just the way the Coyote sounds then. Time to tune it!
Funnily enough, mine would only do it in neutral. Never heard the rattle while going through a tunnel or tight spots.
