Rattling upon starting engine
When I start my truck I sometimes hear a sound that almost sounds like a little rattle upon starting, sometimes the sound is not there. Is this normal?

So as I'm typing this I was just informed that I need a new engine. I am heated right now, I bought this f*cking truck a little over a month ago from a Ford Dealership.
They said the noise was coming from a cam shaft or something like that. WTF...

Sorry to hear you got it a month ago and now it needs a new engine. You probably DON'T need a "new" engine, its a rebuilt motor anyways when they say new.... I would do some research on cam phasers, valve lash adjusters, timing chain guides and timing chain tensioners and maybe even a cylinder head swap before you drop a "new" motor at 5 to 7000 bucks over a rattle.... It could be anything that's rattling so I would consult a couple other opinions first before you end up spending your way out of a intermittent rattle.
