I have a weird situation that is extremely erractic.
I back into my garage. I’d say once or twice a week when I stop in front of my house and put the truck in reverse I get a dash warning balllllinnngg. Balllliinnnngg.
Sounds almost like I don’t know, a seatbelt warning? A door open warning...
Used to be in a similar boat. I'm not sure "low bid wins" applied for us necessarily but we had an annual cost-reduction goal just to be able to continue to be a supplier.
Here's the stupidity of this strategy, however...
We would make efficiency improvements, production changes, supplier...
I think I've actually been told over the years at this point a weak 12V battery can even cause issues with transmissions not shifting as smoothly.
I know some cars have moved to a 48V system. I don't know how much of that has to do with fuel economy savings (start-stop, keeping A/C running...
Sometimes it is so hard to tell noises on videos.
It could be wastegate rattle.
However, I along with others I've seen on various forums with Powerboosts, have a metallic heat-shield-sounding rattle at around 1300-1800 rpms (mine seems to be 1300, then silent, then returns at 1800).
I took...
I've turned off everything in Sync except 2 options that still enable the Ford App to communicate with the truck.
If I remember I'll get a pic and share what I've got on/off....
I rented a V8 F150 before I bought my truck and was pleasantly surprised by the mileage it averaged in suburban driving.
Powerboost V8.... that does sound pretty good to me. I wonder if its even possible? Space requirements?
I would have gone Coyote if I didn't need the Pro Power On Board...
OK finally had a chance to listen to the videos. The 2nd one is very clear to me and yes that is the exact clicking on mine.
I'd say if under 16mph or so and the clicking stops then you probably will know it is normal.
I know this is somewhat minor but at night when your truck puddle lights are on (the lights on the external mirrors), do your lights / mirrors jiggle when you open or close the door?
I notice some shaking of the light when I close my driver's door but my passenger door does not jiggle.
Just...
419F in cabin temp. Dang, your feet are definitely gonna be sweaty...
But yeah that seems off...
Still would say I don't think mine is "defective".... its just doesn't stay consistent.
Cold mornings I set 62-63. Eventually I get OK warm, but then I have to turn it up to 65-67.
If I just...
Pull down the headliner?? Boy, I'm not sure I'd do that.
I'll have to investigate further or ask dealer sometime.
Little surprised I haven't seen more discussions on this anywhere. Being that it is both sides its not something I'd think was just a 1-2 trucks.
I can’t listen to your videos right now but my truck does a single click with every brake press any time above, I think, 16mph.
Below 16mph there is no click. Above, always.
If I pump the brake pedal I get a click with every press.
Had it at the dealership and they had me take another...
I had the 12V battery issue late January or early Feb 2024.
Dealer did a quick test on it and it passed. They then had the truck about 2 hours, ran a "rotunda" test, according to the work order, the 12V battery failed that extended test, replaced with a new battery under warranty.
So I'm at...
Figured I'd share my experience in the event it helps others.
I had a very bad rattle the day I drove the truck off the lot. The dealer found that one and put some foam under the window weatherstripping. I added a little more of my own felt in the same area because when pushing on the...
Thanks for the update. I have not tackled this since last posting here. Hoping now that we're in spring I won't have as cold of a garage and can more comfortably go under the truck.
To help diagnose, if I go under the truck and do some tapping, can I hear the heat exchanger rattle?
Or if I...
