[QUOTE="A1cntrler, post: 924727, member: 54815"] Ok..just called to see what the diagnosis is.. Apparently they cannot replicate it... Said they were going to warm it up and drive it around for a while to see if they could duplicate the problem. I asked him if I needed to come down there to physically point at the rear drivers side upper manifold bolt that is broken to get it fixed. He said unfortunately it is more in depth than just that, and they have to warm it up to see if it still does it. I again explained to him, just like I did when I dropped it off, that after 15-20 seconds of running the noise stops, because the manifold or head heats up and seals it off. Again he said they would have to warm it up and see if it does it. Not like it is a warranty issue where they are trying to get out of fixing it, as I am out of warranty from Ford... Not sure what the issue is. What it sounded like was that they had not had time to look at it yet, even though my appointment was at 730 this morning. His final words were they might keep it until Mon or Tuesday to try and replicate the problem... Oy! [/QUOTE]
