Every now and then, I like to rev the engine a little, but when I did it today noticed a distinct difference in noise beginning around 3,500 RPM and above. The engine sound turns more coarse and reminds me of Honda's VTEC kicking in at a predetermined RPM. I recorded this sound clip with my...

YouTuber Ford Boss Me inspired me to make this video, as he theorized longer cranking times can mitigate (or totally prevent) the notorious 2nd gen 3.5L EcoBoost V6 startup rattle. I experimented with different cranking times consisting of approx. 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 seconds, and 1, 2, and 3...

Hello all! I have been researching this for over a day now and have not found too much on it. I am traveling in Colorado where their regular gas is 85 octane (something with elevation). I put 10 gallons of 85 octane in my 2015 3.5 ecoboost before realizing it. From my understanding this is...

First of all, Hello to everyone here. Got my new 2014 FX4 supercrew about a month ago. I have to say that I really like the truck and so far have little to complain about even with the poor gas mileage. I was wondering if anybody has experienced a low growling noise that almost sounds like the...
