Damn. Haven't heard this once in 40k miles on my 5.4 2010. Are all of ya 6.2s?

Just a quick comment on the remote start/horn beeping stuff: is there a mercury switch on the underside of the hood somewhere? My experience is with a different platform, but those switches are used to prevent the thing from starting with someone's head in there (since presumably there's someone working on it if the hood is up). The way the system told you that's why it wouldn't start was via horn honking. Those switches were notorious for failing, preventing remote start from working. We'd bypass them by wiring the leads together on either end of the switch, permanently.

Just a thought.

PA, is there an inspection window somewhere? Maybe by dropping the starter, can a buddy manually spin the engine over with a breaker bar from the front, while you watch the plate roll by underneath, looking for a flat spot?

Yes, mine also would honk once, letting me know the start failed... as if the noise didn't let me know already! haha

I've started video taping each time I start it... I'm bound to catch it, but people probably think I'm nuts!

Sorry I wasn't meaning yours. I was in a hurry to write my reply earlier so I Imissed a bunch of detail. I think the starter might be covered under powertrain warranty but am not positive. Just like pirate said though When the starter is out the best thing is to ask them to inspect the flexplate whoever does the work anyways.

Sometimes my remote start doesnt work either. And sometimes when it starts it sounds like the starter over winds.

I'm noticing that overwind thing too. More frequently than any other of the above issues.
