Your title is misleading. It says "failure." The motor runs as designed. It's just a noise. Ford says it's just a noise. I have the noise in my 2019 Expedition (exactly as depicted here). So do 3 million other ecoboosts. I expect to get 200,000 miles out of it just like my Super Duty with the same noise. I'm still searching for an actual engine FAILURE due to this noise. That's how I came across this vid. But, this vid isn't an engine failure. I have NOT been able to find a single piece of evidence of this noise destroying the engine yet....

Try a different dealer. You have no idea what was said between your dealer and Ford. Its just as likely the dealer didn't want the job for some reason, and told you Ford refused the claim, when it never really happened. The dealer where I work is set up for heavy line jobs. We look for this type of work. Other dealers want nothing to do with big jobs. A lot also depends on how good the dealers relationship is with Ford. As a customer, you'll never see any of this. But if a dealer has a bad history with Ford, its a lot harder to get big jobs done. I can't tell you how many times I've taken in jobs like this when the customer tells me they were at a different dealership and said Ford didn't approve the repair. I'll have a new motor ordered before they're done with the oil change. If you have other dealerships in your area, don't be afraid to try them. You can also use a Lincoln only dealer. It makes no difference. I hate to see people get screwed over like this. Its not your fault, and if you raise hell, they may even goodwill the job.

As a phaser engineer I've had to deal with the various ticking noises. There are many things we have learned from Ford about what to do and what not to do. One calibration trick we do in Vision is to always phase just enough at idle to prevent the phaser pin from getting close to locking in the home position. If oil pressure drops just a little at idle there is a risk of the phaser wanting to lock into the home position, especially if the pin hole is wollowed out. There are other ticks, noises, and other control issues from the phasers and OCVs. I have not dealt with timing chain issues. The tensioners had a lot of engineering work done on them to avoid the low oil pressure issues after cranking. Sometimes that rattle will happen on startup, even with good parts. We can only expect the oil to be trapped for so long, as in days. If that startup rattle or rapping noise happens with each start, then that is abnormal. Viewers of your channel would be impressed with all the work we have done with the chain tensioners and the rapping noise issue. The front covers are designed to take some rapping, but that doesn't mean that customers should ignore rapping noises or not change their engine oil often enough. ...I don't want anyone to pay for phaser system repairs that could have been prevented with proper oil changes.

@@tt6518 I can tell you want long trouble-free life from your truck. Smart. I'm guessing your truck is not a daily driver. Things that are not good for your engine: Short trips. They don't allow the oil to get hot enough to vaporize the condensation (water) in the oil. When there is water and fuel in the oil acids form and degrade the oil and corrode the engine surfaces. This also leads to sludge formation. Not good. Short trips here and there are ok as long as it's mixed with longer distance driving too. Longer distance being 5 to 7 miles. When you start the truck, let it warm for a minute and be easy on the engine for the first couple miles to let the engine parts expand. There are different metals in the engine and they expand at different rates. Lets talk about the trans. it's expensive too. Every spring I change the trans oil, it's cheap and easy. I have a vacuum pump. I stick the hose down the dipstick tube and suck it out. I don't get it all but I get most. Takes 10 minutes and I don't even get dirty! I measure what I remove and replace with fresh trans oil. I have transmissions with almost half a million miles that still shift like new. (4x4, I also suck out the transfer case) This also keeps the seals and gaskets in good condition. None of my (10) vehicles leak oil. if you are interested, let me know and I'll leave a link for the vacuum pump I use. It makes changing trans and diff oil changes easy.

My mechanic, who I trust implicitly, has trouble shooted the exterior stuff (cam sensors, VCT, etc.) and can't find anything. Doesn't want me to spend the money to explore what else could be the issue. Stated that Ford has issued a disclaimer about this failure and chain lengthening and or failure from oil sludge buildup. I have used BG MOA and EPR religiously since 2015 so something isn't adding up. It DOESN'T make any rattling noises and has only exhibited a loss of power one time. (The Check Engine light was blinking but went away after resting.) I am by no means a mechanic but just want to make an educated decision with my truck. $1600 just to diagnose and then more to possibly repair vs. Engine Replacement vs. trading in the truck.

Thanks for the videos. Is there a correlation between Auto Start/Stop and the mileage at which these cam phaser failures occur on the Eco boost engines? Also, is the rattle noise from the pin? Or some other component in the cam phaser. I'm trying to understand the issue better so I can perhaps ask smarter questions regarding this issue. Should this pin be ideally engaged in the hole during engine startup? There are posts suggesting the use of flood mode to build up oil pressure before the engine is given gas. All the engine components are moving during the cranking while using flood mode (don't know the RPM but everything is moving)...so why is no one complaining about a rattle during flood mode cranking? If the cranking RPM is much slower than idle RPM perhaps the pin finds it's home position easier and quicker? All this makes me wonder if the root cause of this issue is more about the engine not being shut down properly so that it is ready for the next startup? And maybe less about low oil pressure on startup? Like I said...if the answers to my questions (even if they are stupid for now) help me to understand this issue better then I assure you that future questions should be smarter. Thanks...Werner

They want to do spark plugs and stuff more around a tune up. I feel like they want to keep soaking me for $500 visits versus fixing the issue. Codes don't always come up but they're always the same ones when they do. No misfire codes or stuff like that 🤷🏻♂️

After watching your videos on your flood mode start I'm curious about my Powerboost hybrid. It will start off an electric many times and I will be going 20 to 30 mph before the engine kicks on, so I'm guessing I should do the flood mode before I get moving to be beneficial to my ICE.?

Why can’t Ford seem to get the cam phasers right? They seem to be the only manufacturer that’s had so many issues on so many engines related to timing. From the 5.4 3V to the new 2018-2020 vehicles they all seem to have the same issues.

Im in no way disputing your video.Im simply saying what happens for me.On my 2014 f150 3.5 I can crank it using the flood method for however long and the oil pressure guage will never move or show oil pressure.But when the engine starts it immediately shows oil pressure.Is it just the year my truck was built or the guage or something else.Just curious and as always I enjoy your vids and thanks for helping the many thousands of people you do.Im sure you have fixed more vehicles than you know through your videos. Thanks again.

Yeah it's a dummy gauge it's not going to show oil pressure right away so you're cranking it you're actually building up oil pressure but it's not enough to trigger the light it's either on or it's off

Hey what do you think about the triton 5.4 3v can they be reliable motors? I’m looking at a 2006 f150 crew cab fx4 175k miles Looks to be maintained well, but I’m skeptical on how much life it has left. Any input would be appreciated.
@garyr7027 Жыл бұрын
Proper maintenance on the 5.4, 3 valve is a must otherwise it's a problem engine. If they've been neglected or even didn't have the oil changed at proper regular intervals expect trouble with it because those specific 5.4, 3 valve engines had design flaws. Once one starts to fail the only viable option was a new engine cause of the damage that occurs. Once they start to go, it basically tears up everything in the heads. If it's good at that milage then you might be ok, and already been worked on. I could lable all the bad things these engines had but that would be too long a post. Just check that engine out real well and ask the owner dozens of history questions about anything that may have been done too it.

The sorry SOB's at Ford should be replacing the cam phasers at no charge. They've known this was an issue and don't give a s#!t what it's going to cost the end user. You should also do a video telling 3.5 owners about the driver side valve covers cracking at around 30K miles. Just too many issues that Fords aware of and yet won't take ownership to help those who spend $60K plus on the trucks. Time to start shopping for another truck!

I just purchased an Ecoboost with 200k on it. Makes the rattle for about a second on cold start up, then runs smooth. Should I switch to a thicker oil to help the timing chain rattle? I don't think it's worth having the timing chain and cam phasers replaced on an engine with 200k, I'd rather get what I can out of it and then swap a used lower mile/reman engine in when the stock one goes bad

Picked up a 5.0 a 2017 to me coming from a overserviced 5.4 quite as a kitten this thing sounds like all hell is breaking loose 100k on it some weird tick and rattle and piston slap cold not insane but different from what I came from it gets quiet when hot pistons fill the bore I can deal with it it is normal as I have researched. Sounds the same going to a Pennzoil platinum 5w30 diluting with any additive not for me 40 years in this and some kind of intelligence not doing the noisy engine fix will likely damage the engine 35k oil changes as my old ride had will likely keep this thing alive. And do the flood mode every time cheap insurance I agree. And whats your take on the 55mph light rumble felt in the steering wheel on light excel coast and heavy throttle goes away a torque convertor clutch? lube gard instant shutter fix good or bad had the trans pan dropped then a flush its fresh whats your take on this friction modifier good or bad.
