I have noticed my truck lately makes a noise likes it knocking more prevelant lower in the engine compartment on both sides. Runs great, oil looks new and its full. It does not sound like a mechnical knock, but something else. Maybe exhaust?
It only does this when its warm and I have been driving it alot. Notice it when shutting it down today in my driveway. I left it running and got out and went inside.<!-- google_ad_section_end --><!-- / message -->
You can't get to the chain without removing the valve covers and looking down the front cover to see if the gaskets blew out on the tensioners. Unless your getting a very loud click from the phazers, or it's causing driveability issues, warranty isn't gong to cover them(at least thats what we've been told)....
I've seen chain guides come loose and slap around inside the front cover, or the tensioner seals blow out and the chain looses tension causing it to slap...
could not find on ford web site but do recall seeing something about it, did find tsb which does apply to your truck tsb 10-18-4 most likely cam phaser. good luck
