2018 F150 2.7 ecoboost cold start noise
I am new to this forum so I apologize if this has already been discussed.
I have a 2018 F150 xlt crew that has the 2.7 litre ecoboost that has a cold start noise that sounds like something hitting a metal fan that lasts for about 5-10 seconds after I start.... it only does it when it is cold outside 32 f or 0 c %... if it is warmer it does not do it and it only does it on the first start. I have changed the oil always on time and have always used Ford recommended oil. I have had my truck to two Ford dealers but because there is no "check engine light" on they can't find the problem. I have been under the truck and have looked all around under the hood and I can't find anything that might be vibrating. I am pretty sure that it is not a timing chain slap or lack of oil pressure ,the closest I can tell is that it sounds like it is coming from or near the passenger side turbo. Has anyone else had this problem or know of someone who has ? any information would be greatly appreciated.
I will try to attach some videos to help you guys along.
I thank you for any help.
