As stated, truck sounds like it has an exhaust leak around 1500 RPM right before down shift, V8 mode. The radio has to be off to hear it, and now i'm tuned into it so I always hear it. Dealer said it was fuel pump, I'm not buying it having had many fords with leaking manifolds. Has anyone run across this issue/sound?

Flapper valve in the exhaust possibly? I don't notice any noise like that in my 15, but maybe I'm just not noticing it

Good possibility. I was told that it was the fuel pump, and that they are quiet when you buy the truck but get louder.

 

So I guess the question is, does anyone have a loud "fuel pump"

Did the dealer attempt to fix it? I noticed a whistling noise when I have the windows down. It starts about 1800 rims in 2nd gear under acceleration. It gets higher pitch as rpms increase.

No they didn't... They gave me the old hand on the back let me show you to the door "it's all ok sir".. Who has time to argue with someone who doesn't know the difference between a nut and bolt.

 

Just haven't had the time for a second opinion. I looked myself and didn't see any carbon showing anywhere, but I'm highly skeptical of their diagnosis.

I assure you this truck didn't make that noise when I bought it. The dealer told me it gets louder after you put some miles on it.

This sounds like my problem as well. If we are hearing the same noise, I can attest to how annoying it is. the dealer has replaced my fuel lines, fuel pump and still haven't fixed it. i said for day one it sounds like an exhaust leak but they are the experts.

 

See this tread and see if it sounds familiar.

I’m convinced it’s the ball and socket connection on the Y pipe to the header/manifold. The passenger side doesn’t have that connection and I do t hear anything from that side whatsoever. I’ve done Hooker Blackheart header on my 2018 5.3 and am about to cut/weld the Y pipe on driver side to make a connection exactly like the passenger side. 💯 it will fix the exhaust leak problem everyone is experiencing

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
