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 )
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
