My 2011 mustang gt rattles at startup until warmed up on cold morning. Is this due to the floating wrist pins or should I be concerned?

Could be piston slap while the engine is cold. There is a TSB that changes the calibration to reduce the rattle. But it doesn't get rid of it.

Thanks for the info, Blazin72! Have you addressed this with your dealer, mj23756? You should speak with the service manager as he is in the best position to ensure a proper diagnosis, and will be able to provide available options and/or coverage for any work needed.
