My 2013 xlt is having the same issue. Seemed to do it more when it was cold outside and on a slight incline. My dealer agreed to swap the parts but like roger1 said, the drain back valves are on back order for "quality issues." Last I heard they would ship more at the end of April. I would encourage anyone that is having the same problem to contact Ford service from this forum. They have been great on following up and documenting everything.
Out of curiosity, does anyone else have a random groaning noise when the truck shifts from 3-4 and the engine is under load... Like going up a large hill?

I left mine at the dealer today and gave them a copy of the TSB as well as a link to this thread. I told them I have a video but they were not interested. I'll let you know how it goes.
Here is the video of my symptoms - it was a little more quiet this time than it is usually for whatever reason. When I open the hood you can see me feeling the cooler and line. Both are vibrating with the noise.

Robeport, that is the same noise my truck is making. I did hear back from my dealer yesterday and they said the part is in. I'm going to try to get it in this week. I'll let everyone know if it fixes it.

Just got a call back and they acknowledged it may be the valve body but they are going to throw parts at it instead and replace a hose first (even after I showed them the TSB and this thread) 
They have to order the part so it will more than likely be the end of this week into next week before it is installed. I have a strong feeling that I will be making a return trip back next week with the same symptoms.

Great Video. My kit has been in for a month. Have not heard the noise since. Just by that video and feeling the trans cooler hoses Ford Engineers can figure this one out. You should not have to reproduce it for them. Im sure there will be a service bulletin out dedicated to the F150 real soon.

That video is spot on for what mine is doing! As I said before: If you want your Dealer to replicate the problem. Tell them to use chassis ears to listen to cooler lines while driving 35-45mph in 3rd gear (manually hold 3rd gear). My drain back valves should be in this week! I'll report back once I have them installed.
