I now have developed a cold start clunk/thump. It sounds like metal on metal at start up after it sits for 10+ hours. Almost like someone hits a thick pipe with a wrench. I don't even think I have 1k miles post repair.

Some trucks do have post start up noise. My truck had a knock once warm. If you search on YouTube you can find some cam phaser knock videos from 3.5L. Although honestly, that sounds like something else. Does the sound change when you tap the gas or increase in rpms? What does your truck...

Welp..... These are the part numbers for what is currently being installed:

My truck went in on Monday. They said they had the cam phasers in stock and thought they could have it back by today pending issues or anything else they find. We will see....

Mine has been doing it for a while. You should be fine. When it gets really bad you will know it. It will be loud.

I have the phaser rattle at start up and then a warm knock which I've seen could be the vct. The knock can be heard a few feet from the truck and I've had multiple people comment on it. It's not the injectors or the hpfp. It's a low thumping that changes when you hit the gas. The loss of...

I got a similar reply except the dealer told me Ford told them not to go forward with the repair. They said they already did a cam phaser repair and the noise came back within 15k miles. I'm trying another dealer. My start up noise has gotten louder over the last 10 days and I've had a strange...

Damn..... hopefully it's something simple.

Mine was either a late December 17 or January 2018 build. I can't recall but can look it up.

Sorry to hear. Make sure you add to the cam phaser poll thread.

I just had an interesting conversation with my dealership about my truck and this issue in general on the gen 2 3.5l. I can't post specifics as I'm suing for a buyback at this point. I will follow up with this post once I'm through litigation. I will say it appears to be a bigger issue than...

Whatever happened with this?

Until you realize it's a 4k repair once it gets bad and you are out of warranty.

Agreed..... and louder than mine.

I've actually had a rough idle also on occasion. Enough that I can feel it in the seat.

Make sure you add yourself to the poll.

I'm glad yours was easy. Unfortunately mine hasn't been. Having the dealer on your side goes a long way in these things.

It's been mixed. My dealer claimed it's normal operation. I've hired an attorney and have endless videos time stamped of the rattle and knock. My noise is definitely changing as I have a start up rattle for 2-3 seconds, then what sounds like change or bolts being shaken in a metal coffee can...

That sounds bad!

I have the start up rattle and I also have a tick once warm which sounds like it's coming from the passenger side of the motor. It isn't the injectors which can be fairly loud on these motors. It's loud enough that I've had car people ask about it (including GM techs). I can hear it in the...

2018 here that has oil consumption and cam phaser issues. Document everything.

Let's completely overlook the multiple cam phaser TSB on the first gen 3.5. Yeah..... I was surprised to find this out myself when looking into it. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture"...

Good luck with your trucks. I'm seeking a buy back on mine. I have not been pleased with how the dealer or Ford handled my situation at all. I love the truck but have not been able to enjoy it like my last one. It's been in to the dealer more times in 6 months than all my last 10 vehicles...

Just because your truck doesn't have an issue YET doesn't mean there isn't a problem. Why would Ford have an updated part?

Its amazing to see people blame other owners for these issues and not Ford.
