I see, thanks for the info. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that mine stay quiet. I don’t know if it helps at all but i prime my oiling system until it builds a couple psi of oil pressure before i let it start up when the engine has sat for a while and is cold. I figure if nothing else it’s good on...

Oh ok, i see. So would a 5/19 production vehicle have the “CD” phasers in it just like the currently built vehicles?

Well this sucks, they revised the tsb to include 19’s and 20’s. What would have caused them to include newer vehicles now?? Don’t they know when the updated parts were installed???

I may have done a little bit of trimming, like around the vacuum lines for the front hubs so they don’t get a hole rubbed thru them, but nothing major to trim.

I used 2 of the right (passenger) side ones that i posted a picture of from rock auto. I don’t know if you can even buy a drivers side one for a ranger anymore. As the rangers got newer they revised the drivers side to a small piece of rubber and for some reason they deleted the drivers side all...

I got the pushpins as an assortment from ebay. Actually what i gave found is if you spray fluid film or woolwax in a traffic area such as wheelwells it will wash right off in a short period of time.Boiled Linseed oil will not wash off in traffic areas where lots of salt water and road debris...

I jack the truck up outside and put it on jack stands, you have to wash the truck after you are done to wash off any overspray. I do it myself every year. You just need an air compressor and a solvent sprayer, one of those cheap ones, harbor freight probably has them.

I actually bought stock ones for a 2002 ranger from rock auto and they fit pretty good.

Not sure, i have thought about trying it but never did. I do usually stick my container of linseed oil in a bucket of hot water to heat it before i spray it so it sprays easier. 1 thing that is very nice about boiled linseed oil is once it dries you don’t get all greasy and dirty when you touch...

You can buy boiled linseed oil at home depot, about $25 for a gallon. It will take about 1-1/2 gallons to do it. I spray it with a parts solvent sprayer and compressed air.

this is what i did on my f150 to protect the turbos and exhaust manifolds from splash.

Yes i think it is 409 grade stainless which will get a coating of rust on it but it will take quite a few years to rust out but alot of the hardware- nuts, bolts, flanges and hangers are not stainless and will rust out or be very difficult to remove if it ever needs torn apart. Spraying it with...

Build yourself some splash shields to protect the turbos and exhaust manifolds from splash.

Spray the exhaust also, it will bake on there and help keep the exhaust from rusting up also. My 02 ranger still has the original exhaust and has 293,000 miles on it.

Use straight boiled linseed oil. I have a 2002 ford ranger i purchased new and to this day there is no rust under it. I live in northwestern PA so the winters are pretty brutal on vehicles up here.

We are talking about trucks that are 3-4 years old max. Are the lug nuts really rusting and swelling up that fast? I do know that once they would get to be maybe 5-6 years old maybe they would do that and i have seen it happen but never on trucks that new. Is the real problem that people that...

I don’t want someone tearing apart the engine on my 75k truck and potentially creating more problems either when they replace the cam phasers and the noise might come back again anyways.

What superbad info to prevent this from happening are you referring to?

Hold the gas pedal to the floor and crank the engine with the

I just prime the oiling system everytime i cold start the engine so it has a few pounds of oil pressure when the engine starts so the phasers have pressurized oil to them before startup. Not definitely sure if this will keep the cam phasers from going bad or not but my theory is it should help...

It almost seems like even once the noise starts it’s just an annoyance, you rarely gear of anything failing that causes any issues. Once the trucks are old enough and out of warranty people will say the heck with it and just let it rattle on startup and continue to drive it that way. Then we...

There seems to be more and more 19’s with this issue popping up as the miles accumulate. Hopefully the redesigned phasers reduce the failure rates but like it has been stated there are 4 of these in each engine times however many engines they produce so even a redesign isn’t going to totally...

I wasnt sure if it also kept the heat from cooking the paint on the hood or not also??
