This may be due to a cracked oil pump drive gear. If the noise originates from the lower front of the engine, remove the accessory drive belt and retest. If the noise is still present, remove the oil pan and rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees to inspect for cracking. If cracked, replace the oil pump drive gear (LC3Z-6306-A).","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10232381-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10232381-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10232381","components":[{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"FORD","model":"F-250 SD","year_from":2020,"year_to":2022,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_f-250","2021_ford_f-250","2022_ford_f-250"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-350 SD","year_from":2020,"year_to":2022,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_f-350","2021_ford_f-350","2022_ford_f-350"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-450 SD","year_from":2020,"year_to":2022,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_f-450","2021_ford_f-450","2022_ford_f-450"]},{"make":"FORD","model":"F-550 SD","year_from":2020,"year_to":2022,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2020_ford_f-550","2021_ford_f-550","2022_ford_f-550"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
