Need help asap - Engine making a tapping noise...Video included
Hey guys,
My engine makes a slight tapping noise at idle (sounds a lot louder on camera but its still there). It's a 2013 5.0 with 50k miles on it.
I only have 6 days left on the warranty so I need to get this figured out. The build date is 1/13 so I don't think the oblong cylinder 3&4 is the issue. Engine is totally smooth when driving, noise goes away as RPMS go up (drowned out by engine noise i guess - but sounds fine when accelerating)

Thank you.

I've heard it's normal (sound resonating at the resonator or something) but if you look up videos of the oblong cylinders 3&4 it sounds identical. Taking it to dealer tomorrow but I want to hear what people think so I have a case and to see whether or not I have to force them to fix it and not say its normal.

Build date on my truck is Dec 2012, I bought it Feb 2 2013 so my base powertrain warranty will be up Feb 2 2018 or 60,000 miles.

I bought this used and I am talking about the dealer's warranty. The truck is originally from Canada and in the states now. Is the warranty transferrable?

That is amazing news. I'm on hold with ford so I can ask them and stop stressing this.

Just got off the phone with Ford, I still have the warranty so I'll be taking it to Tasca to check it out. Thanks for the help guys!
