Weird Rattle coming from Engine

[Chris M]

Funny enough, had to drain about 8 PSI out of all 4 tires after I got home & also add a quart of antifreeze too lol

No surprise at all. I said that in all sincerity as many of us have had that type of experience with our trucks.

Was noise there before you dealt with the oil level?

Yes it was, was wondering if high oil caused it but still there this morning after I fixed oil level

The noise is normal:

It is a sewing machine noise - if that is what you are referring.

The main nose is the HP Fuel Pump & The Fuel Rail
other noises
That sound similar is the VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) Solenoids

Yeah I believe you described it pretty accurately. Is it normal to clearly hear it fairly loudly in the cabin though? Anything I can do to prevent the sound from coming into the cabin?

Engine Cover
Hood Sound Deadening
Turn up the radio

Could send an oil sample to Blackstone for piece of mind

Do you have the Engine Appearance Cover?
That cheaply made cover, does muffle it down some.

Oh, yes it is. Even my Lariat which is supposed to have a bit more "sound proofing" is "noisy"...but again, the amount of noise and what is "noisy" is relative to each of us. You younger owners are probably affected more than us old farts.

When you get your engine cover make sure to ad one of these. ?

Ya I do, makes it annoying to access the dipstick but I like the way it looks lol. My hood dampener does have a hole in it so maybe getting a new one could help some

It's not showing as anything but an S in a red circle
