2012 5.0 Engine Knock...NORMAL?????
#111
I know this thread is older, but people are still having problems, such as me lol
Just like you guys above stated having a 2012 f150 with a 5.0, start making a knocking noise. My truck started making it at around 50,000 and still under warranty (tell 60k) I had a local ford dealer do my next oil/service and I stated I was hearing the noise. They of course "did not" and said so in the report, which I still have. I also have a video of the truck making the same noise right around when my warranty was close to expiring.
Flash forward I now have 75k miles and have had my oil changed every 5k. The truck still makes the noise but never when the service guys are around. I took it to a 3rd dealership and they didn't hear it at first, but finally did. The replaced some belts and the timing chain(as stated before) and racked up a $2500 bill, drove it out of the shop, and still made the noise. The dealership hooked it up shut off cylinders just as stated up and had the same results. For the sake of not racking up a bigger shop bill they didn't tear the motor apart. They have filed open claims with ford.
Now I have started a claim and have gotten little progress. They are claiming that since my truck is out of warranty they will only provide a small amount to help. How can that be if I took it to a dealership, under warrenty, and stated a problem?!
Any of you that have had success please help!

injestors?
I have what I think is a similar noise coming from my 2014 5.0 with 21k on it. It's been in and out of the dealership for a couple of weeks now, and they haven't been able to figure out what is causing it - they say that most things have been ruled out already. Unfortunately they also say that the Ford tech line is pretty slow to get back to them and has not been able to help out much yet, so I've been rock'n a Focus for the past week (at least I have a ride ). (I've sent a PM to FordService to hopefully help move things along, but have had no reply yet.)
What do you guys think? Does it sound like the cylinder #4 issue? Like the video shows, it is much louder near the passenger tire. It drives me nuts when I have the windows down!

I have a 2013 F150 5.0 with just over 51,000 on it. I also have the tick/knock sound. I can really hear it when going in my parking structure at work, or though a drive though. I am going to take it in tomorrow morning to see what the dealer says. I only hear the tick from the passenger side. Part of me hopes it has something to do with the timing chain or Cat. I sometimes notice a slight high pitch squeal as i am accelerating too from that side, not sure if its a belt or tensioner?

I called Ford and they opened a case for me. They wanted me to take it in last Friday. I left it all day Friday and Saturday. The said they could not hear the ticking. They talked to the ford tech line and they said to take off the passenger side value cover and to check torque on a Cap or cam bolt. Not sure which one it was as I don't have paper work with me at this time. I got it back and same tick. Then Ford emailed me today saying they are closing my case as this is the injector noise and common for the truck. I am not happy. I sent her links to the forums showing others have this and what has been tried, but no response. Not sure what I should do. As a last resort I have tried to email the service manager today to see if there is anything he can do on his side.
