You are pretty far out of warranty. Ford has issued a TSB on piston slap that covers the Triton engine family (4.6, 5.4, 6.8) If you find the right dealer and beg... lol... then maybe it'll happen. Maybe even offer to pay for part of it. I had almost 46K on mine when it was replaced but I had reported it at 26K. It just took 10 months to get me an engine. Good luck.
