This sounds like the wrist pin issue that supposedly only affected '14s and some '15s. Maybe the problem is bigger than they thought?

I trust my 6 leaker more then I trusted my 6.4 lol. Made so many damn noises and shudders. Was a beautiful truck though.

You went to the dark side

I know theviking I miss y'all! I've always been fascinated with diesel though. And the aftermarket support is awesome!

I had the wrist pin issue in my 14. New engine at 4000 miles.

That is pretty loud. Thanks for the link. Hope it gets resolved for you

I had a Chevy Equinox with their first DI 2.4L . It had a problem with the solenoids for the VVT. It sounded very similar to this for the first few seconds of a cold start.

This sounds more like what I'm experinceing with mine. I'm keeping a close watch on it to see how/if it develops into anything more.

Mine sounded exactly like this around 3-4000 miles. After my first oil change, it hasn't done it since. I have about 22000 miles on mine now.

Any updates from the OP?

They began the teardown yesterday, haven't heard anything yet

Update- dealer is putting in request for new engine, which is on backorder.

Gear Jammer · Apr 13, 2017

The engine being on backorder doesn't sound reassuring.

Is this because so many are ordering the 6.4 these days? They give any reason? Sure seems like an engine would be readily available, especially for warranty purpose.

Dmopar74 · Apr 13, 2017

The 6.4 is almost always on backorder, they would rather sell the engines in new trucks and make us poor soles that need warranty work wait

GsRAM · Apr 14, 2017

What was the problem that it needed a new engine?

mohemipar · Apr 14, 2017

It may have something to do with how they just made the 6.4 the standard engine option in at least the Laramie and up. I’m not sure if it is still an option or standard in the SLT and Tradesman. They could be running low on availability and have to allocate more motors to new orders. Through I also heard the 2500 sales have been slow the last couple months and I believe it since my Laramie has already been built and is in shipping phase after less than 3 weeks. Who knows.

This.

Piston slap, saw the pistons today and they are worn on the sides.

All of them or was it limited to a few? When mine made that noise, it was noticeable on the passenger side but not driver side.
