| Description of the problem | Like many, many other owners of the 3. 5l v6 ecoboost f150 i'm experiencing a rattle noise when i start my vehicle. The noise only occurs when the vehicle starts, and only lasts for a few seconds. Online research leads me to believe it's related to the timing chain and timing chain components. At just 41k miles, i'm barely past the factory warranty period and will likely be forced to pay upwards of $4,000 for repairs. Here is a link to a youtube video that captures the same noise/issue i'm experiencing: https://youtu. Be/bvs16u_uxmw |
