Grinding noise on startup 2017 3.5L Raptor

[wreedsvt]

I have a 2017 3.5l Raptor built 6/17.

Mostly when cold I have this awful grinding/rattling/metal on metal noise for a few seconds then it clears up. Sounds like its coming from the transmission area/under the truck. Anyone else have this issue? Any fix? Checked a few other forums, and it seems some people are talking about it but no real fix.

Mine sounds like this:

Sounds more like cam phaser rattle. Is this only on cold start?

 

[wreedsvt]

No, it will happen sometimes when warm, but not as often.

Do you have a video/sound of the cam phaser rattle?

 

[Gargamel]

Probably better if you Google "ecoboost cold start rattle". Listen to all those videos and you will get the idea. Ford has revised cam phasers at least twice e now and they have another design coming soon to address current problems.
Also, definitely take to the dealer and show them the problem. Get it documented and protect yourself.

Yeah I just did, thats not my noise. Mine is coming from under the truck in the transmission area.

I had the same thing. I replaced spark plugs and the noise went away weirdly.

Gargamel is just another iteration of a quite infamous ecoboost user who goes by many names... Sasquatch77 Every time he gets banned he makes a new username and posts with exactly the same mantra.

I figured. I will ignore him, thanks!

Injection pump maybe?

Most 2017s make this noise. I heard a few others today at the dealer. I am living with it for now. If all other trucks do it, I dont care.

I did have the PCM and TCM updated for hard shifts and the trans is sooo much better now!

Or, it's indicative of a widespread problem... Maybe why they have redesigned the cam phasers again?
I am surprised you would think this acceptable.

Are the cam phasers underneath the truck?

When did they release the updates? My truck was built in late January curious if I'm up to date

No problem! Happy to help! I am sure he will be back though. Seems like the guy has too much time on his hands.
