Purchased 2014 svt raptor 3 days ago

[Kidmoro]

Hi all,
Very excited to be joining this community. 3 days ago i purchased a 2014 raptor with 105k miles and 1 previous owner. The truck is in pretty much mint condition. I checked all things recommended prior to purchase and everything looked and sounded perfect. The engine was extremely quiet. Today, i started the truck and an extremely loud tick/knock noise is coming from the engine , more prominent on the passenger side by the valve cover. Does this sound bad to anyone? I have 30 day 3k miles warranty from the dealership

Welcome to the place. Dang, get that to the dealership right away, that sounds like a bad lifter or a rod bearing to me. I wouldn't drive that. Phone the dealer and get it towed. Is it a Ford dealer?

Yes its star ford in glendale,ca. It came out of nowhere. Thank you for the response. It sounds awful and not the way any engine should sound. I called dealership and have to wait til monday to speak with the used car manager...

Don't let them drag this on, get it in there on Monday and if it is an engine replacement, you will be waiting for one, I think they are on backorder, so the sooner they look at it and get it covered under warranty, the better off you will be. Good luck and keep us posted. I would call the service manager and tell him whats going on, get the ball rolling, shouldn't cost you a dime, except if there is a deductible on your 30 day warranty.

How's the oil level? That doesn't sound good though. Not normal.

Man what a bummer. I googled some videos of other lifter noises and pretty sure its a bad lifter. Just happy this happened on day 3 and not day 31. Really appreciate the replies.

Oil level is perfect and the dealership just changed it.

Just looked and its actually 90 day or 3k miles with 100 deductible.

I had a lifter take a **** on me, and it sounds like the lesser of the ticks in that vid. Def get that motor checked out.

Sounds like a lifter to me also, does not have that hollow thunk of dropping a rod
