TSB 24-2189 was just released yesterday, my dealer called me and I have it scheduled to have the work done in a couple of weeks. I have not had any recurrences of the noise since the temps came above freezing. Even though the TSB does not specify replacing the hubs/gears he said they will...

Depends on the tempurarture it seems - when it's above freezing it rarely happens, but when it's really cold it happens almost every day. I think i'm in agreement with the service guy that it's related to incomplete disengagment of the hub at a pre-determined time/distance. One of the...

Follow up/update: My 2023 went to the 2nd dealer last week and I left it for 2 days. They acknowledged the problem and entered a warranty claim for the issue, but we decided not to replace anything at this time. He did offer that they could replace the IWE's now if I wanted, but that...

I now have an appt to have mine replaced after talking with the same dealer I mentioned in my earlier response. He recommended we just do it now, even if there is a long term fix eventually since it's on Ford's dime. He said they have done this repair on multple 2021-03's and in almost every...

I have the max tow on my 23 and it has the 3-pack steel spring vs the single steel/composite setup. Not sure if all teh ones you looked at perhaps had max tow?

Yes, I'm not happy about the issue, especially on a brand new vehicle, but I feel a bit more comfortable now that I know more about it. 32 degress F does seem to be the magic number too - it was unseasonably warm here in the high 30s and 40s for most of the holidays, and I did not hear the...

No repairs or work done yet. Since the vehicle is so new and it doesn't seem to be an immediate safety concern, I may just wait for a bit and see if a root cause/service bulletin comes about. Especially if the repair ( replacing the EIWE hub/mechanism ) might not last anyway. To me it...

More follow up - this was a response from the service manager of a nearby dealer. While not a root cause fix, at least it was good to hear they acknowledge the issue locally and are offering a temporary fix "The noise you are describing sounds like an IWE (Integrated Wheel End) issue. They...

I wish I could share a specific service bulletin or fix, but at this point he was not able to share anything other than that the driveline guy at his shop is aware and they've had several complaints. WIll definitely update the thread with anything else learned.

To add a bit of information of my quest to find a solution, I have a good friend that is a long time Ford Certified mechanic at a dealer within about a hour drive of my home. I sent him my video of the sound, and he said they have been getting several complaints/reports of the same issue...

Yes, it is frustrating. I also hope there are no long term effects. I came from a 2017 of almost identical configuration and it was solid as a rock. I have a long cross country trip planned for March of 2024 ( wisconsin to Utah and back again ) and It would be nice to have a little peace...

Just to keep this at the top of someones list, I have the same problem. 2023 5.0 XLT, just turned over 2k miles. This noise generally engages by itself on cold mornings on my inbound commute. I am almost always in 2WD/Normal mode. Quickly pressing the 4WD button stops it almost...

MIne is doing the exact same thing - usually when cold, but not always. The Grinding/humming sometimes starts when braking to a stop - but also sometimes just when driving along around 35mph in 8th/9th gear. At first it would only happen when the truck was somewhat cold, but yesterday it...

I wish I could say the same for my 2023. My 2017 was virtually flawless for the 6 years I owned it, I wish I had it back.

Mine is not a powerboost/EcoBoost just to clarify ( 5.0 ) and I also have not ever had any warning ligths or active codes. I did find some old codes prior to purchase in ForScan related to low battery and a transmission control module low power, but none of them have resurfaced and it...
