Honestly, have no idea what is the more correct diagnosis (the shift cable as mentioned above or the oil cooler)…unfortunately we’re all going to have to wait and see and let time tell. Let us know how your journey goes…
Ah nevermind, they just called me back and said my problem is apparently different (even though the videos in this thread with this engine noise sounds the same as my engine noise) they confirm that I need a new oil cooler.
I just left a message with my Ford service department regarding this shift cable diagnosis as they updated me today saying they were pretty convinced that my problem has something to do with the transmission. I may or may not have the same problem, but thanks for the update!
Believe this same issue is on another thread and thought to post here as well. I took my BB to Ford to have it looked at and they confirmed there is something wrong. They told me they need more time with the vehicle to figure out exactly what is the problem--but said they suspect it's something...
Hi, so my dealership service department just got back to me--they also confirmed the engine rattles/whirring noises are not normal. They suspect it's something to do with the transmission oil cooler--the noises are just outside of the transmission. Service department said they need more time...
Same issue here (400mi BB)...though the noise is inconsistent. Sometimes it occurs (only at low speeds) and sometimes it doesn't. Have an appointment for it to be looked at for tomorrow, but I'm afraid they'll just tell me that they didn't hear anything and to wait for the next oil change to see...
I've been getting the same noise in my Big Bend as well--I thought to give the vehicle some break in time, hoping it would go away, but it hasn't gotten any better and remains the same (almost 400 mi now) Looking to get this checked out asap as I've driven a lot of SUVs and never have heard...
