Final report for this. Truck is doing fine. There is still the unresolved random rattle when cold but this will wait for another day. What a rollercoaster. Thank you for letting me vent.

Thanks !!! I am with you on this 100 %

I agree with the concept of never picking up a vehicle at the end of the work day but sometimes that's all that will work. The service department has texting implemented that associates my phone number to my work order. I texted about 45 minutes after picking up the truck and told the...

Recap: Cam phaser repair - completed. After I was home there was loud tapping ... Dealer blamed a bad starter - replaced starter. Picked up truck from dealer and then a loud screeching sound from the engine upon start up on a partially warm engine. Dealer diagnosed as a bad A/C compressor...

2/22/22 Tuesday afternoon update: (that's a lot of 2s) Service rep called me and said the 3 year old service manager reached out to ford corporate for assistance for 1) cover the car rental 2) cover the A/C compressor. Ford corporate approved 10 days of car rental and we are waiting on #2...

Agreed ... but how do you do that with no 4 letter words ???

On a positive.... My home HVAC contractor is older than me and he doesn't use anything that generates a code. Old school M.Fer !!!

Hey Mwadsworth, Thanks for the input. Ford Tech One suggested that there could be an issue with the tensioner. I relayed this to the service department the other day but since they are having trouble duplicating the issue (so they say) then they are reluctant to do anything. I can understand...

Hey Weimer, I have tried to get Galpin to do the Cam Phaser fix since the last 2 years. First they told me they were so far behind in the department and put me on a waiting list. I tried again early in covid and they flat out told me they didn't have the staff to do that job. I tried again...

oh boy did I talk to the dealership today ... Let's just say I was accused of trying to bully the service manager into paying for my rental. How can I bully someone over the phone when they have my truck hostage... crazy. This dealership refuses to accept any burden for my rental until the have...

Great news. My diesel noise was gone also after the initial cam phaser fix. The dealer F'd up a bunch of other **** along the way for me. Still waiting for a call back for this weeks update. I'm glad your issue is resolved.

You are so lucky you have a dealer putting you in a loaner. I am out of pocket for a rental until the dealer service makes a determination. That is the salt in the wound. Good luck with your truck. I am rooting for you !!!!

update... Truck is back in the shop as of last Tuesday. No word from the dealer until today. The service rep called today to let me know that they need to replace the A/C compressor for the loud screeching and they are going to put that on my 3rd party extended warranty with my $100...

At this point nothing new to report. Same progression of tapping and screeching. I have a service appointment next week so I will update after that unless there is some new drama.

Mine will sometimes sound like that and other times be very quiet. I don’t thing that is normal. Good luck with yours.

Thank you for your input. My common sense has left the building. As I previously stated, I am so mad that I even have to deal with this kind of thing, it is great to have input to help me focus on some details. Thanks.

You bring up a great point. Thank you. I am so mad when I am dealing with these people that it is sometimes hard for me to keep my thoughts straight. Much appreciated.

Sunday update. 1) cold start - no screeching belt noise but there is a Mild tapping sound. I could not tell if it was or was not the Belt Tensioner. This issue has been variable in intensity. 2) Hot engine - mild tapping but may just be my hyper sensitivity and normal. 3) luke warm engine...

Dude. I totally am on the same page as you. I'm old also and have seen some shit. I have also done system design for IT and medical device manufacturing. Seeing the big picture is a natural thing. I can't bring my attitude with me to the dealer ... I used to and it never served me well...

LOL ... um no. I just woke up. I know ... it's noon my time. Heading out there in a few. I'll report back in a few hours.

One Friday I had a phone conversation with the shop foreman and I will take the truck back in again. I will also be uploading fresh videos with sound for them to review... again. My appointment with service isn’t until 2/15 so I won’t have anything to report about repairs until that time. I...

Mr. FordTechOne, Thank you very much for the insight. I will have a listen. I was hoping to get your input. Have a great weekend

So ... Picked up the Truck yesterday and while at the dealer had the shop supervisor listen to a tapping sound coming from the engine. By the time the dude showed up ... about 10 minted the engine had warmed up and was no longer making a loud tap. He stated he things the tapping could be the...

Dude ... The service team has this video for trouble shooting. I don't want to poke the bear until I get the truck back and 100% working. I need to figure out if it was possible for the tech to screw up my starter during the cam phaser fix. That will help me proceed correctly. I don't want...

So after 13 days at the dealer... the Cam Phaser was finally replaced. On the way home I decided to run some errands. When I started the truck up ... cam phase noise gone ... new screeching sound (see attached Video) that presents after 5 (ish) seconds. I took it back to the dealer and they...
