Noise on cold start

Bmac1955 said:

Cold start flooding I use to start oil lubricating the engine before starting. Consist of holding brake pedal down along with a fully depressed gas pedal. After about 10 seconds take foot off the the gas pedal. I might suggest also to do oil changes at a regular interval. I do mine 2 to 3 thousand miles. That's just me. This site has many interesting points of interest. I am sure you find helpful points relating to your expedition. Good luck!

I'd be concerned of a cylinder being washed with gas or oil dilution. But that's just me.

Not likely to happen. These aren't carburated engines.

Dealer confirmed cam phasers. It will be about a week to get the part in. Picking it up today until parts are in.

Make sure they do the thermostat so you don’t have to take it right back. I just got mine back from thermostat replacement today $260.

My local dealership quoted me 3 hours labor charge to replace thermostat, for a total of $567 excluding parts. I think it is insane.
