| Description of the problem | At ~ 30,000 miles, the engine (a 5. 4 triton v8) began sounding like a diesel engine. Took the truck to the dealer. The dealer ".. Recalibrated the cam sensor..." and stated the sound(s) were normal for this engine. I called ford motor company and they customer service rep told me same thing. The noise is getting louder indicating the problem is worsening. Is there anything that can be done to correct this issue before the engine suffers a catastrophic failure? |
