Ok so some may know about this some may not but it is something that is coming on strong with many showings at dealerships across America. So as most know it is timing chains that are prematurely stretching causing this startup noise. The news is that there is updated parts out there to address this and Ford now has a TSB on this issue formally admitting to it being a common problem. I go over it all in this video. There is also a link to just how it sounds in the description of the video on youtube. Hopefully more dealers will be willing to dive into the engine with some guidance from Ford now.

My 2013 has been doing this rattle on cold start ups for the second day in a row today. 
Guess I should take it to the dealer ASAP. Hopefully they won't brush me under the rug as they seem to be doing to everyone else.

We'll my truck only has 13K miles on it. It kinda pisses me off that I am already having issues with a year old truck. I also have the 7 year free maintenance plan and so far had two oil changes from the stealership! I am going to taking my intake and charge pipe off and return the tune back to stock before I take it in for service. From the many pages that I have read about this topic it seems like the replacement chain doesn't always fix the issue.
