Mine rattles on decel cold, and has the normal noise associated with DI engines, but no oil usage as of yet. Engine runs very strong and smooth, just over 5k miles now.
i have developed the acceleration whistle...sounds like a quiet turbo...lol. Almost sounds like something is leaking in the intake tract, it only happens under load, never in park. I haven’t bothered to mess with it yet.

I'm not happy with mine at all. I've had all the TSBs applied. I'm basically embarrassed to have anyone ride it because of how bad it sounds. The dash is warped, there is a tick at approximately 1400 rpm, and there is the IMCR runner chatter. I'm hopeful it gets fixed but would definitely not buy again.

Hold my beer
Jumped ship from a 16 Silverado to my current '18 5.0 after being annoyed by some things on the Chevy. I've since realized they were not that bad. Right from the start it had the off throttle rattle and a weird, sporatic high pitch whistle under the hood while off. Then it got the knock and now it's chugging oil. Almost to 1 qt consumed in 1k miles so it'll most likely get a new powerplant.
Aside from that, I love the look, color and 5.0 power. If a new engine takes care of that stuff, then great. My only concern is how bad the Carfax will look and hit I'll take whenever I go to sell it.

The powertrain warranty is already 5 years and/or 60,000 miles...so you got yours bumped up to 75,000 miles?
Or you got your bumper to bumper full warranty extended to 5 years and 75,000 miles?
I've seen a few on here post about getting warranties extended but if it's still really only covering what you already have covered...whats the benefit?
The issue at hand is a powertrain issue...involving the engine.

Ya but the OP was hoping you wouldn't jump into this one too and start your fanboy dance and tell everyone about your Audi!
Besides...you fanboys have taken over those other threads and they've all gone to crap.
Heads up everyone...the fanboys get their sphincters puckered up when anyone talks negatively about anything Ford.
Although...gregypoo here really dislikes the B&O sound system in the new F150s...even tho he doesn't have one!

If were in a position to have to keep a vehicle past 3 years (warranty period). Would Corsa dual exhaust it, let the tick noise be if Ford says its normal.

Even more likely, it would be left to people who actually add substance to the threads, instead of patting themselves on the back for their purchase decision that is not related to any of the threads they interject themselves into.
