So you are in another country, LOL seriously though if the noise goes away with the belt off then it's an engine accessory making the noise. Could be normal.
Mine is quiet as can be. EDIT: Probably a smog pump for California emissions and why I don't hear it, I'm not in Cali. . |
Here is the outcome. 11,300 miles.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...1b0898c3a0.jpg Did you notice a knock for very long? Did you wait until it got really bad? or did it happen fast? Quiet now/ You must feel great! |
knock
I received my oil analysis kit from Blackstone laboratory. I will have 5k on engine soon and will send them a sample. Will see if bearing material is "NORMAL". If it is, then knock must be external i.e.. water pump or torque converter.

Any updates?

What u hear is spark knock from the lean condition of these engines. Try using premium fuel and it will go away

Try using premium fuel in the summer months. I bet it goes away

red knocker!
I would be very surprised if this was a spark knock or ping! Knock, knock noise in time with engine rpm.Best heard just off idle under load,like driving up a hill or grade. I now believe it is worse with when engine is at operating temp.
I need to get gas today! 90 miles to empty.So I will fill with high test and see.I live at 5,000ft. What is neat about this truck- it gets about the same MPG as the Ranger I traded. But I only have to go to the gas station 1/2 as often with the 36 gallon tank. Almost have 5,000 miles and will take to dealer for the works and Blackstone oil test! like Papa said, if it's crank or rod, it will show up in the sample. From the sound of it metal concentration should be way out of spec's. I got a BacFlip. Not as convenient as my old RollnLock,but a-lot cheaper. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...c643be99dc.jpg BacFlip G2 https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...9341c9f5b5.jpg The old Ranger never knocked! |
Blackstone
Oil analysis @ 5k shows no signs of engine wear. So I guess this bottom end, deep engine knock, at low rpm"s is external and normal for this engine.Thats what I was told by Ford Tech-line. I will test oil again @ 10k also.

Does it sound like mine at 24k miles
