Motor Growl
I have a 2013 F150 super crew with 5.0. There is a growling noise that happens when the tach says 1000. Not much before or after the RPM range. Any Ideas? Any TSBs?

Is it constant in that RPM band or just on start up?

Only at 1000 rpms. It sounds like a machine gun fire at that rpm. Took it in to dealer today and he thinks it is a lifter. tear it down in the morning. Glad to have extended warranty.

Great news, cdmm151; I'm glad your dealer is taking good care of you. Come back and tell us how the repair goes. How many miles are on your truck?

Crystal, work is complete. All lifters replace under extended warranty. I use Preferred extended warranty. I have 67,860 miles on the truck. The only issue I have had was an exhaust valve that went bad and Ford replaced the drivers side head at 46,000.

I'm glad to hear that you're all fixed up, cdmm151! If you need any help in the future, just give me a shout.

Wow. Good call on the extended warranty! Almost sounds like a lubrication related failure considering how all of them were replaced.

What kind of oil and filter do you use? How frequently do you change it? Just curious to see if we can learn something from this.
