traxxi2003 Use amsoil I did on my 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 that made ticking noise like crazy after a dealership rotella 15w40 conventional oil change. I dumped it out less then 200 miles on it and changed over to 100% synthetic amsoil diesel oil and ticking went away instantly!!!! I even have a video on my phone of the stupid noise it was making.
Sorry but that’s not what it is. It’s broken rocker arms. I can say this because I heard the sound for a year then after replacing injectors we removed valve covers and found three broken rocker arms. Truck hasn’t made that sound since. If you remove the valve covers you’ll see a few push rods sticking up past the rocker arms
Ain’t no way I’ve been driving for 200000 miles with a broken rocker arm! Oh and I gets better as the oil gets older, it’s always worse right after you change the oil. Try again
Both wrong, the typewriter noise is the rear crank thrust washer. It sits in between the crank and block with play, which is why the sound is random. It's a non-issue.
Why is it related to oil change if it’s a thrust washer? And if you say it has nothing to do with the oil change you are wrong as it is proven by many, many people that when you change your oil is when it’s at its worst?
I read about this noise being oil sensitive, so I added some marvel mystery oil to the crankcase to see if the noise would change any. Much to my surprise, I started back up and noise was completely gone! 2014 powerstroke 318,000 miles.
Happened to me after first oil change. I even pre-filled my oil filter and still got it. Went away after 800 miles though. Switched to 5w40 synthetic motorcarft as well.
I have 75,000 miles on my 15'. Changed the oil on Sunday and the noise showed up on Monday morning for the first time. The noise isn't there when the engine is dead cold, when the oil temp reached 107 degrees it mysteriously appears. Once the truck is up to full temp (195ish oil temp) it's disappears. Curious why it decided to present itself after 75K.
I just hit 80K on my 2015 6.7. The tap sound just started on mine, once it warms up. I don’t know if it’s coincidental or not but the engine light came on at the same time. Two days after, I get a recall for a ECM update. I’ve got it scheduled for the recall and will update when I get it looked at.
The answer you provide is the “Ford” keep the customers quiet answer. The fact of the matter , the actual cause is as follows. This type writer sound is reported by folks who change their oil, why? New oil has no soot . In old oil, the soot is carried by the oil thru out the engine. The rocker tips are spray lubed by a cross pipe and the soot in the oil a tank like a cushion so that when the rocker tips hit, the sound is muffled. New oil has not soot. The oil spray leaves only a thin film, and when the rocker tips hit, you get the sound. After a few hundred miles, the soot builds back up, and the rocker tips have the soot cushion that keeps the tips quiet. The Ford answer about geometric alignment of this and that does not e plain the oil change factor and that’s why we call bs on that explanation.
I wouldn't worry about, I freaked out when my 2013 did after it first oil change. After some research I found the same article. It did it up until 80 ish thousand miles but every oil change would last less and less from like 1500 to 2000 miles to just a few hundred when it finally quit. I have 135000 miles now and running just fine. If I'm honest I king of miss it, I always took it as a sign that they actually change my oil. I would just enjoy you beautiful truck.
The vibration noise at idle is caused by the ground strap directly in the middle of engine against the firewall. All you have to do is pull on it to get it off the firewall.
I have a 17 with 72k. I would say mine sounds like a valve clatter or a lifter issue. I am concerned the top end does not get enough oil during long idle periods.
My 2020 cummins started doing this after my last oil change (19,000 miles) on the truck, it never made the noise on the previous oil changes, and the noise (typewriter tick), only makes the noise at high idle (1,100) or higher, also randomly it doesn't do it at all. Also it doesn't start making the noise until the oil temperature gets up to about 150 degrees. I have used Amsoil 5w-40 and Mopar 10w-30. Is yours acting the same?
The sound coming from the crank journal?When main bearings make a noise it's not a ticking sound its a THUD, THUD sound. A crankshaft making a click, click sound?
Cory, I too have a vibration noise somewhere in front of me when I’m driving. Can’t really pin point it but kinda sounds like what you described. Does that too plastic piece just pull off by clips? I want to also pull mine apart.
Nice video. Beautiful truck that is why I ordered a 2018. My 14 Powerstroke makes the same noise and I have over 300,000 miles and no issues. So you should be ok
Ive got 214k on my 6.7 Powerstroke and it does that after every oil change, and goes away when the oil gets about 2k miles on it, no additives make it stop, just quiet it down just a little bit.
260,000 miles on mine and it just now started making the typewriter noise. I just tried changing the oil and it’s still making it. Kind of scary since I’ve never heard it before but I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.
Search 2018 Mustang GT engine tick. Same exact sound and people are getting motor replacements. I wonder if this is something to do with high compression
with the newer DEF and DPF emissions parts on these trucks, (2019 f250 6.7powerstroke) , i don’t know much about diesel, How would these trucks do as a daily driver/short trip truck, (no deletes) no towing or hauling, 6 miles to work and 6 miles back home during the work week? and 30 to 40 miles on the highway on the weekends. i just want a big truck with a diesel engine. P.S i don’t care about the mpg or the cost of diesel fuel.
My 2011 makes this noise and I didn't notice it until the other day. It still has plenty of power and doesn't get louder as I accelerate so I guess it's fine, it's a diesel it's going to make noise.
the new tsb is the high pressure fuel pump causing the tick ...fords fix is a calibration change to quiet it but it doesnt completely go away...Id consider it pretty normal , if a diesel wasnt making noise Id assume it wasnt running.
We recently bought a 2019 F250 Platinum exactly like yours with only 3,200 miles. Just had the oil change done at a Ford dealer, and truck now has the dreaded ticking..
My 6.6 LMM Duramax has the same thing. GM claims that it is "Normal". I've got over 150k on it and no issues so far... Wouldn't worry about it if I was you! It's just annoying! Thanks for the video!
345k miles on mine. Once heard it and since then I put Polytron MTC in oi,l and in fuel maybe every 5 fillups. About 10% of oil capacity. No noises since. I pull trailers day in day out. 90% highway miles. Never touched engine. Annoyed a bit about 4x4 vacuum seals. Seems like every year I need to change them. And sometimes can't even hold vacuum.
Hate to brake it to y’all but the sound your hearing is broken rocker arms. I have a 2014 6.7 and had to replace everything from the heads up. Found three broken rocker arms. Truck hasn’t made that sound since we installed new parts. I think ford knows what the problem is but doesn’t want to have to fix all the trucks with the problem. Good luck y’all
It's part of diesels, even my C12 and C15 made tick noise when you quieted down all the other noise makers. The older diesels, 6.0, 6.4, 7.3 made it too, they just made a lot of other noises too.
Don't forget the new 3rd Gen 5.0L Coyote tick that sounds exactly the same. It could be an oil film issue like the Powerstrokes, or some think it may be some minor piston slap.
It's the oil!!!! I just bought a 2016 81k had Castrol in it not sure what exactly it was but it said Castrol on the oil change sticker I switched to motorcraft 5W40 and now have the TIC I have about 700 MILES on the new oil and still have the tic
This must be a random issue. I have 23,000 plus on my 2017 F350 and have never (yet??) experienced this noise. Changing the oil every 7500 (I know, that’s quick...old habits die hard) with Rotella full synthetic. Haven’t been filling the oil filter (Motorcraft) before installing. That might be something I need to be doing though...
When doing a engine oil and filter service the reason you end up with it sounding like a typewriter is air in the top of your filter ......when filling your filter with oil b4 installing it make sure you fill it ,so there is no air left in the filter...dont hurry ...take your time filling the filter ...
These new engines are so much quieter than the old clatter/rattle boxes of the past so we hear normal noises that used to be masked I hear it more with rotella 5w40 than the 15w40 royal purple or amsoil the stronger film strength oil seems to quieten it
Its a diesel. They make noise. So do cummings and duramax engines. It's still quieter than diesels used to be. There's something wrong if it's not making noise.
my f250, 2013 just had this noise after I changed oil yesterday. Now i feel much better after watching this video. If your video has THE noise, that would be more convincing. Thanks, though!!!
Rotella 15w40 with a motorcraft filter.will make it stop.wont do it at all.if i change too anything else.which i do somtimes.like 10w30 it starts back up again.but eventually stops after 1500 miles or so into oil change.
Cody Baker I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado L5P diesel Dealer out in 15w40 rotella diesel conventional oil and it started ticking like crazy. I dumped it out inside of 200 miles and put 5w40 Amsoil synthetic diesel oil. Stopped instantly!
Dude, if you're going to make a video about engine noise and the truck is sitting behind you, start the thing up so we can hear it. Probably the reason why you have so many thumbs down. Capiche? I wouldn't get a Powerstroke if it was given to me. I have a F350 regular cab Dually, with the 6.2 gasser, and it's great. Of course Ford will claim it's not a serious issue, replacing or repairing all Powerstrokes would put them under that much faster. A friend of mine has a 2017 F450 with the 6.7, uses it for towing a lot, and is already on his second engine, and it too is making the same ticking noise as the first engine. I always had Ford pickups, as a matter of fact I did a number of life changing firsts in my '68 F100 if you know what I mean, but I would never get a Ford diesel. If I am getting a diesel, it would be a Cummins. Cheers.
It’s a tsb on 6.7’s from 11 to 19’s that says it’s normal and we can’t do anything about it plus this trucks deleted so ford won’t let us touch it anyway warranty out of the door
i pull a 13k trl a couple times a year so i run diesel. i couldn't afford the gas bill of a 460 instead of my 7.3 ps granted im getting 12.5 mpg in my configuration. my first one was doing about 15 but that was a manual 2wd instead of an auto 4wd. i liked my first one but she got totalled and this is what i could find to replace it with. my grandpa had a f250 460 and i think he got around 8 mpg daily driving. ouch
On your 2015, have you ever had "power loss issues, like where the truck would seem as if it's not getting enough fuel or the fuel to air ratio is messed up? Or would sound like it's backfiring? My 2015 platinum at 100k is doing this. "No codes"
@@1BigMistakee no sir, my 2015 honestly runs like a champ, has 280k on it, only thing it really has “wrong” with it is hard shifts into second from an old trans valve body and it needs new shocks…
I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 L5P diesel. Had dealership change oil and they used 15w40 rotella conventional oil. My truck ticked like crazy. Dealership and a gm bulletin said it was normal for 20% of new oil then it would probably go away. I didn’t even wait I dumped oil out and used amsoil diesel 100% synthetic and the ticking went away instantly !!!! I’m no amsoil dealer at all but after this crap the dealer put in my truck I sure might be lol.
Platinum Built Vlogs Did you try Amsoil yet? I’m no dealer but this ticking crap is not normal. I’m just trying to get the word out there that obviously it’s a lubrication problem. Let me know if you try it and if it works for your new truck as well
No i haven't got around to changing the oil yet. But weirdly enough i have had the typewriter noise in a while but for sure going to run the amsoil. Ill let you know as soon as i change it and or if the noise comes back
I have a 2012 4dr GMC DENALI in solid black with the Duramax, I got it back in '14 for my 16th B-Day in pristine condition with just under 500 miles...yes less then 500 original miles, now has around 22k. The typewriter sound everyone is talking about I've never heard it with mine...I have heard a slight hint of that sound on my buds truck with a Duramax and his is a '11 4dr GMC Sierra 2500 just not the Denali model like mine that he got for his 16th B-Day in late '14 but we didn't think anything of that sound until hearing about it here on RU-vid. Maybe some slip through with a slight noise that isn't noticeable or without having that sound at all.
cam journal bearing tab. Typewriter sound is totally normal. New oil or after an oil change a slight drag is created between the crank and the retainer bearing piece (excuse my dumbness, the technical term is escaping me right now) but there are tabs that hit on the block slightly creating the sound.
We had a 2012 f550 with a 6.7 at work, wasn't abused and had factory service from brand new. 39,000 miles and the #6 rod decided to say hello and came through the oil pan, no warning, just full power then boom.
Beautiful truck but in sorry that noise is too much for me.... I don’t care what Ford says....that engine option costs too much to have to live with that sound...what’s scarey is Ford says they will warranty it...but you want to to do a mild tune or delete now your right to warranty goes out the window....personally I would do an oil sample on the second or 3rd oil change and if your wear metals or levels are abnormal I wouldn’t tune it until it was resolved that’s a 17000 dollar engine ...I would not be voiding that warranty just yet .....
That's why you keep all your stock parts and stock tune, that way if something goes wrong just slap on the OEM parts and play it off. Been doing that with my 16' f-150 since day one hahaha.
That ticking noise is caused from a weak and cheep built engine block.. the 6.7 engine is known to break crank shafts in half.. I will never ever spend 70k on a truck that they tell me the engine knocking is "ok".....lol
Yo! ITS A DIESEL! Despite pilot injection strategies no freaking diesel or internal combustion engine is going to be QUIET! A gasser I can understand if it makes a weird noise, but you wasted your time and people's time because it. Is. A. FREAKING TURBODIESEL! I've had 7.3 PSDs and you would not be able to stand the clatter. I truck for a living. You need to apologize for starting mess with an engine that clatters! And yes, I drive a 2019 PSD.
My 2020 cummins started doing this after my last oil change (19,000 miles) on the truck, it never made the noise on the previous oil changes, and the noise (typewriter tick), only makes the noise at high idle (1,100) or higher, also randomly it doesn't do it at all. Also it doesn't start making the noise until the oil temperature gets up to about 150 degrees. I have used Amsoil 5w-40 and Mopar 10w-30. Is yours acting the same?
@@jeffhammond8758 I took mine into the shop right around the time I wrote this comment. Long story short, my truck was the test bed for this problem, 5 months in the shop. After further investigation the dealer serviced it with the wrong weight oil, which in turn caused the lifters to fail, and a TSP was released shortly after.
It's interesting that you mentioned the dealership put the wrong oil in, I specifically asked the dealership if they put 10w-30 in and they said yes, called them a couple days later (when this noise surfaced) and asked them if they are sure, they said they will change it again, so I asked for an oil sample, and they forgot, and they are trying to blame it on a tune I put on it a 1,000 miles ago. They said you're not under warranty, I said I am aware of that, I said, but if you put 15w-40 in it that's not a warranty issue, it's a dealership screw up. So I am sure they intentionally didn't give me a sample. Did you have your oil tested, and did it eventually screw up the cam?
@@jeffhammond8758 I didn’t request a sample, however after FCA/Cummins figured out the cause I went back to the previous service records and it stated “serviced with 15W40”
I just went through my service records and at the end of July 2021, the dealership had on record putting 15w-40 in my truck, I went 5,000 miles on it. I called them today and they now want to take a look at it, only problem is 1,000 miles ago I put it on a diet. So, this will get interesting, they admitted they screwed up, but they also know my truck's been modified (these mods in no way are going to affect my hydraulic lifters.
The best way to get rid of that type writer noise is to sell that truck and buy a 7.3 and u won’t have that issue plus it will last longer. Great beard though 👍
Jondavid Bristow outdated and worthless? I have 3-7.3L and all have around 500K miles each and pull double axel trailers 5-6 days a week year round. I’d hardly call that outdated and useless. All are million mile trucks and should reach that easily.
Ben Vasilinda I drive one daily too and it's a dog pulling our skid steer up the mountains My 6.0 was better at pulling and my 6.7 pulls 25k lbs easier while getting better fuel mileage That's why I say they are out dated
Jondavid Bristow u can easily add a programmer to that 7.3 and get plenty of power and better gas out if it. I’m not referring to a Bully Dog one or those others that just wind up burning up ur transmission or clutch. My 2002 has an Eco programmer on it and it seems to do fine. I drive the 2000 but I just run it stock and I always pull the heaviest stuff we use. Mine does fine and doesn’t seem to have issues pulling that I notice. Doesn’t bog down and my truck never redlines or border redlines. Then again, I’m never trying to race anyone or get crazy with my truck. I just use it for daily work and pulling. A few months ago I did make a 4 day run from South Florida to Northern Vermont and that’s well over 3000 miles. Either way I’m happy with my 7.3L and at 500K miles each I’d say I’m getting my money’s worth.
LLY Project I have a L5P 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 10,700 miles started ticking after dealer oil change. They claimed it was normal and would stop after 20% of new oil life. But I have a neighbor across the street with same truck and his doesn’t do it yet ???? Drove me crazy so I put 100% amsoil 5w40 diesel oil in my truck hoping possibly it was oil filter or oil since that’s all I did to it before it started ticking. it stopped instantly!!!! I’m not a Amsoil dealer just looking to get the word out it’s not normal or ok! Just use good oil.
The reason our trucks sound like something a soyboy should be driving is do to our lovely Jackoffs from the EPA ! Too much unnecessary BS on these trucks anymore ! I group up in south Louisiana where the Mississippi River is lined with chemical plants. I’m SURE all the smoke and discharge you see from these plants are EPA friendly !
