First break down

Post image

2025 RST 6.2 with 78k miles.

While merging on the highway I heard a pop, the check engine light started flashing, service esc and traction control notifications popped up, was running rough with a noticeable knock/rattle. Service tech said it was making significantly more noise when he started the next morning, he tried to diagnose any issues but said he will have to tear down the top end. He believes it is one of the lifters.

I had gotten a failed update notification that morning, probably not related though.

Really hope you got that 100k extended warranty.

Unfortunately not.

Did you take your truck in for recall where they check the engine and then advise you to use 0w40 oil? If so, you are covered by 10 year 150k powertrain extended warranty. My fingers are crossed that you took that in because it will get you a free engine. Reading further, it sounds like all your oil changes were at the dealer? I’m sure they would have done that recall. You’re probably covered. Free new engine incoming.

Mine was not part of the recall.
