I just bought a 03 Edge, 3.0 auto 2wd.. it has a random engine knock and tick.. some times it will just knock a time or two.. then pause and do somethin different. I started it today, and the random tic was gone.. but a steady one was there..but not the same noise. I made a vid if I can get it to load I will post it. I took the belt off so that the fan ect wasn't adding to the noise. I've pulled the drivers v/cover off and all looks good, real clean, no bent pushrods... tried checking with pullin a wire and it seems to cut it down a little but it's still there.
Old owner said he went to Ford, had oil changed.. got about 15 miles down the road and the motor was tickin.. checked the oil.. barely if any on the stick.. drove to a 7-11 bought oil.. drove it home and parked it. He's 66 and swears the truck was never over 65mph.. he's owned since new. Very clean and stright, and I got it for 500.00 I've rebuilt my 5.4 in my expedition so I know I can go through this just fine.. but if I can pass for now I will and run her till I build another for it... 213K on the clock..and from the inside of the motor you'd think 80k.
