None.
Dealer is a GOOD dealer and they have best tech on it. Tech is waiting for info from Ford hotline.
Ford (not dealer) called me out of the blue and assured me they "they" were on it. Said they would figure out problem - then out of blue they gave me a 7 year premium extended warranty - FREE! That was really cool.

I doubt I have bad gas. This has happened on 2 different times (only 2 times it has been warm here recently) and 2 different batches of gas from different stations - this first batch was higher octane.
When this noise happens - the pinging/knocking sound is unrelentless until I back off throttle. It never happened last summer!
Needless to say - this SHOULD NOT happen.
Kinda disappointed in these new Ford motors - I got this 5.0 because of the issues I was having with the Ecoboost. How are the 6.7 diesels??

Hi Bill;
Refer to this thread below - specifically post #8. Any similarities? If so, the thread purty much describes yer solution. And this is clearly an issue Ford is aware of as it is not uncommon, (but perhaps not at the Dealer level for every Dealer - yet).
If so, yer engine should be in the middle of that teardown shown below. I reckon Ford is being stingy with their supply of 5.0 shortblocks. On backorder, perhaps? I'd start pushing back.

Another good read from an individual who knows a thing or three: https://www.f150online.com/forums/5048803-post19.html
Read through the entire thread that post was excerpted from as well.
Take these to yer dealer and see what they say (and watch the looks on their faces, lol).
Good luck
