Cool video thanks for sharing it. What was the song that you were playing during the video? I have already subscribed...I enjoy watching your videos.

 

Have you tried pulling the cab? I haven't done a 5.0 yet but on the 04+ I find pulling the cab saves time and a lot of stooping over the fenders.

 

Why does it do that? What was causing the knock?

 

No that was the other posters truck burned oil, this one had only a noise issue.

Cylinder Bore distortion Ford is calling it, I believe it had to be something to do with it being a sleeved engine and the alloy mixture of the sleeve. The 5.0l also had a issue where the sleeve would be loose in the block, right there that is an issue with a transfer of heat by itself plus the noise it caused.

I have never pulled a cab on an f150 never found the need, now the 6.4l I pull the cab almost every time for anything major.

Thanks for subscribing! I got it from ArgoFox here-

 

I am quite sure that by 2013 it is fixed. All these issue are common to the early engines and have since been worked out. Even so you have 60k miles to figure it out and even if you go over that mileage within 5 years of your model year Ford will help out with the cost as a Goodwill they call it where they do cost sharing with the dealer. Ford is very good about that from the cases I have seen at my dealer.

 

My uncle had a 02 Harley Davidson F150 that around 80K started having issues w/noise coming from the engine that hadn't been there before. I don't remember the details of the situation, but I remember the dealership replacing his engine at no cost. That was the first Ford he had ever purchased and has purchased nothing but Ford since for him and my aunt.

 

Thank you for the reply, and appreciate you posting the video up

 

Cool.
Seems like building and installing the 455 in my GTO is somewhat easier......

 

Awesome Video!
