Cewald Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hi, this is my first post. I have a 2018 Nav Reserve. I have noticed that the engine seems to be oddly loud on cold starts. I have read about the rattle/ banging sounds, but this doesn't seem to be the issue. It sounds similar to an exhaust leak. I have it turned into the dealer but I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this or can tell me this is normal. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aTq8gxVUnH2neMTQ_cZapa8C8V82Hwxj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcparker2 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I didn't view your video but it may be the wastegate valve. Mine rattles a bit then after about a minute maybe less it stops. It doesn't bother me because nine times out of ten I remote start it and by the time I open my garage, walk out to the truck it has stopped dealer knows about it so if it ever causes an issue they know it's on them. Hopefully it is as benign as that I know others with our engine have complained of cam phasor issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cewald Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Thanks for the reply. That seems to make sense. I don't believe it is the cam phasers, I have read about that issue and it doesn't seem to be the same. There are no drivability issues so I'm hoping nothing comes of it.

CoolDude919 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Did you see any of the videos over on the f150 forum? You sure it sounds different than that? My 18 expedition has the cold start rattle, but it sounds exactly like the videos on this thread. https://www.f150forum.com/f118/17-3-5-ecoboost-rattle-401441/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
