Mine had the start up noise long before this happened can't say they are related but they could be. Ford found prices of a piston skirt in the oil pan. I had to pull my truck from FAIR OAKS FORD since they are complete dumb f*cks (thanks to the worst mechanic MARK FISCHER) and brought it to ROD BAKER FORD. Who is taking care of me very nicely and is replacing my motor.

So whats the back story?

I would be cautious calling out individual people. People are sue happy these days.

Really interested in an understanding of what happened and the specifics surrounding the failure... I have an '11 as well.

What do you mean by the start up noise? There are multiple "noises" that are discussed on here.

Well mine finally threw a check engine light and lost all power on Friday. It sits at Ford now. (had same start noise as yours) I sure hope my problem is related to that!!! Glad you are getting fixed up. How long did they say? And what year motor do they replace with?

Here is a collection of "the noises" for you.

You live in IL? Those dealerships sound really familiar.

Must be IL. I live right by Fair Oaks Ford and will never go there again. My last experience for some warranty work was comical at best. The techs are incompetent and the service writers are a complete joke. I've heard good things about Rod Baker Ford. Best of luck getting things back together. I hope the rest of the process goes smoothly.

Iv been trying to find a good dealer. The one I got my truck from blows. Right now I'm having good luck at Joe Riza Ford but last trip they pointed out my full-race intercooler and said it'll void my warranty. Good luck with the motor issue.

Glad we got an update.

Yes. Naperville. They are giving me. Long block re-man. Motor. I should have it back in two weeks most.

Seems to be more and more with the startup noise ending up with a broken piston skirt. May not be the timing chain at all. Interesting, glad they are replacing the motor.
