At approximately 60,000 miles my truck would occasionally make a rattling sound immediately after starting the engine. Over time it got worse, I took it to a mechanic and he told me it was probably a lose cover, or a component such as a water pump was failing and it would be hard to know which one it was until it failed completely. So I continued to drive the vehicle. Time passed, milage went up and the problem got worse. I started researching the issue myself and realized it was the timing chain and phazers. This could potentially cause engine failure and if it happens at the wrong time could cause an accident. This is a very common problem with the ecoboost truck from 2011-2016 models and it typically happens very early in the vehicles life(around 50k miles). Apparently it is due to the excessively long timing chain and weak phazers.
Noticed small amount of coolant on the ground. Started to notice over the next couple days larger amounts of coolant after driving. Took truck into dealer and the water pump had already gone bad. Was under warranty so it was replaced for free.

Was never notified of a recall99b29 for a timing cover/water pump gasket on my 1997 Ford F-150 vin1ftdf1725vnb44053. In November 2004 I was losing coolant and took it to my local Ford dealer and he gave me an est. Of $1500. 00. At that time I couldn't afford it. I had it repaired at a reliable repair shop for $800. 00. I had just found out about the recall from a CO-worker who also has a vehicle mentioned in the recall. I feel that should be due reburstment of the repairs for that fact I did not receive the re-call. Their records will show that other recalls I have had it in for the repairs. This vehicle only has 58,000 miles on it!.
