Coming back for an update for anyone who might be dealing with the same. I finally got my service manager to escalate this and he looped in a "regional ford technician". The ford tech recommend a PCM re-calibration a few "aggressive" runs up to highway speed to burn off the soot in the system...
The heated steering wheel and ventilated seats are the things I miss most about my 2017 Silverado LTZ. Cold/warm weather first world problems but boy, do I miss them.
I've done a bit of digging and can't find any forum posts or videos showing a similar noise out of a transmission.
I'm hoping someone here can either call BS or tell me to stop worrying because it's a normal sound.
After a little over a week, official word is that it’s a solenoid making the noise. The service Forman drove it and said the solenoid is loud but apparently not a cause for concern.
a little bummed but all I can do is take their word for it. It’s the 3rd dealer I’ve seen. Grateful they...
Definitely coincides with the gear indicator (you can tell if you look/listen closely at the second half of my video). I notice it most when pulling out of my neighborhood, but it also happens around town in parking lots, etc
When shifting between 1-2-3-4th gears at low speeds, I've started to notice a slight "crunch" sound coming from the outside of the truck. This is different from the typical "clunk" the 10 speed has always made. It started sometime around 10,500 miles
I'm getting ready to schedule a trip to the...
This is the first vehicle I've had where the different drive modes make a meaningful difference in the drive feel. I notice a BIG difference when I put it in sport and lean into it. I also notice a mpg or 2 difference when I'm on long highway stretches and I put it in eco.
Makes me feel good...
Ouch. Sorry to hear you had to go through all that to troubleshoot without any luck.
Some replies in this thread have helped me learn to live with it (accept it). Appreciate the insight from everyone.
This was before the weather turned. Temps were in the 60s and 70s when I noticed. Good call on winter gas.
I'll check the coolant today. Could that cause the water to be so dark and dirty looking?
probably true :)
But then the dealer would have their "out" and be able to totally wash away any random issue by saying "have you ever had an ecoboost before?..."
2021 5.0 with 11k miles. Noticed what I thought was an oil stain in my garage and noticed that there appears to be oily water / watery oil liquid dripping from several points between the engine and exhaust tip. Dealer says it is soot in the exhaust condensate. This happens on startup, when the...
Do you have any other photos showing different perspectives? I've had a love/hate relationship looking for toppers over the years. Seems to be so much variation in how one topper brand/ model looks on each truck make/model/year/ color. I have a '21 black F150 and hoping to get a better idea of...
2021 5.0 XLT here. Honestly, the gas mileage. I'm easily getting 20+MPG on the highway (21-23 range). Came from a 2017 Silverado 6.2. That was a bit of a dog on mileage - getting 18MPG was a miracle.
Spent a week driving around Yellowstone (45-55 MPH), about 600 miles. Had over 26MPG for that...
Same issue here. Stuck in the open position.
I had to send my service tech the ford advertising materials and a youtube video showing the active air dam to prove it moved. He insisted that it was not a movable part and that they snapped it back into place (which I had already tried twice...
