Description of the problem	At approximately 60,000 miles my truck would occasionally make a rattling sound immediately after starting the engine. Over time it got worse, i took it to a mechanic and he told me it was probably a lose cover, or a component such as a water pump was failing and it would be hard to know which one it was until it failed completely. So i continued to drive the vehicle. Time passed, milage went up and the problem got worse. I started researching the issue myself and realized it was the timing chain and phazers. This could potentially cause engine failure and if it happens at the wrong time could cause an accident. This is a very common problem with the ecoboost truck from 2011-2016 models and it typically happens very early in the vehicles life(around 50k miles). Apparently it is due to the excessively long timing chain and weak phazers.
