If this is the same dealer that told you it's ok to drive with bad timing components, I'd say find another dealer. Maybe ask an independent shop for an unbiased opinion.

I am taking it to another dealer soon. Third times a charm hopefully. I had a third party opinion and the shop says it's not right which I know it's not. Scanned with snap on scan tool and 2 cylinders are under contributing but not misfiring. You can see the seat vibrating.

Stopped by the dealership today. They refused to walk beside the truck and said it is all normal thats just the way they sound, conveniently they didn't have an 11-14 to compare it to. Pretty much walked off from me and said if it gets worse come back. Not sure what my next move is other than trading it in?
Cant wait to hear, “well we know it has problems, so....”

They offered 14k for trade in. I'm not willing to take a beating on something that has caused me grief so long just yet. I love the truck otherwise. I could do a leak down and a static test just to see. I just don't know what I can and can't do to a warrantied engine. I'd also like to know how a reman engine can have a std. Tag on the side. How do you reman an engine and not machine anything...

I have exactly the same noise in my 2014 and after 5 trips to the dealership and 5 responses of “we can’t hear it” or “everything sounds normal” I stopped stressing, said f**k it, installed a tune, and am just driving and enjoying the truck. Warranty has since expired. If something goes wrong then I’ll deal with it then. But I was tired of the truck bringing me constant stress since, like you, I love everything else about the truck.

The ford reman tag glued to the side of the block that says everything is standard size. How is the bore standard size on a rebuilt Engine? Crank size I'll buy but definitely not the bore.

Kind of in a holding pattern until I get my secondary transportation up and running good. Should be within the next week or two. The other dealership I am taking it to does not have a loaner fleet. Truck is still noisy at about 1500 miles. Runs ok but definitely idles not the smoothest. I am planning to do a compression, leak down and an oil pressure test before it goes.
