JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE WITH PISTON SLAP PROBLEMS THAT MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM.
I WAS GIVEN A LOANER WHILE MY TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A DIESEL FROM THE MINUTE I GOT IT TILL I BROUGHT IT BACK. I HADN'T HEARD ALOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE 4.2L 6 CYLINERS HAVING THE PROBLEM BUT THAT TRUCK SURE DID. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE TRUCK IS NOW OUT OF THE RENTAL FLEET FOR REPAIRS. IF YOUR TRUCKS ARE MAKING THE NOISES KEEP ON FORDS TAIL ABOUT THEM UNTIL THEY REPAIR OR REPLACE THEM. AND GOOD LUCK
