I don’t have a cam phaser problem so that seems like an expensive route

I've found an interesting phaser solution (and prevention) perhaps some of you know about. Masterlube make a pre-lubrication system. It's basically a pressurized oil reservoir. When the engine is running, oil is forced into the reservoir overcoming the air pressure in the reservoir. When the...

Found some interesting detail on the 10r80 I thought might be interesting to you in the Ford 10R80 transmission, some shifts are inherently more complex than others due to the number of clutch-to-clutch engagements and disengagements required. The most complex shifts typically involve...

I found the picture I was looking for. This was posted by @kindofblue after his phaser repair. It’s a picture of a compromised backplate of the CD part, not the well hole plate. This plate should be perfectly flat with no machining. Yet it has a cut in it, the width of the lock pin, in the...

Video too big. I’ll find another way. But this is what I wrote before figuring that out… I went back and read my post, ‘phasers - from the top’ so as not to re-cover much that is there. In that post there was some material on what is different about the updated cam phasers. But there was an...

I’m almost in the same boat as you. I bought 2018 1 year ago. 85k on it. It took a bit of digging to find out what had been done to it. Since then, being kinda possessed by the cam phaser thing, I bought cam phaser that had failed. A few varieties. I wrote some stuff up on the forum…. Search for...

I have a gen2 as well. Your 3rd item: In my opinion this is common and it’s not hunting or slipping. There are some things to consider with this truck. Firstly, the driver is not directly in control of anything except the brake and steering. That includes, the engine’s throttle body, the torque...

It's not a response to anyone's issue except mine

My experience with engine temp ( stock 2018 raptor) is that when it transitions to cold outside, the engine goes from running hot in the warm weather to running hotter in the cold. At temps in the neighborhood of freezing and below, what is happening is the ambient air temp at intake becomes...

Unlikely I suppose but…. I guess I would turn A/C off and make sure power steer fluid level is correct. Get some rotating things out of the equation. Long shot..

I’ve tried this experiment as well… several tanks, regular vs premium. I can’t detect a difference when I’m trying to get good milage with a soft touch. Ethanol content aside, the energy content of regular vs premium is the same. The flashpoint or anti-detonation of premium is higher due to...

I have 9. And you are not wrong

The amsoil story is worth a read. Nothing to do with the oil. Just a good story. google Albert Amatuzio Wikipedia. His son Alan as well

Take pictures of the old parts if you would. Adds to the knowledge base

HLZ is the CD version. Both are exhaust

That would be great. I have the hlz parts. I’m hoping the software update 21b10 keeps me out of trouble

In the attached an HLZ part is shown on the left, and the MLZ part is on the right. Previously in this post I stated that I'd not seen a failure mode like the one that started this thread. A disclaimer... Ive looked all over the place on the forums for pictures of failed parts. There aren't...

another observation, the rotor veins did not leave any markings on the well hole plate. But did on the back plate and not symmetrically. One side in your picture shows no wear. But near where the spring cap is, there is lots. Like the rotor was not planar with the gear and plate or something.

Thank you very much for the pictures. The plate with the intended well hole looks very close to as-designed. Maybe slight beveling to the right. Hard to tell. They come from the factory with a slight bevel which you can see in my picture. But typically, at least in the CC parts, that’s the...

Yes but…. Nobody has much experience with seeing CD failed parts, so I’m not saying much.

This is how that plate started life. Plastic bit shown about where your wear is. And the other image is how the opposing well hole starts life. What you usually see is the well hole becomes beveled out on one side. The side away from the filling channel. Towards the right in this image. It...

Oh this is cool! Thanks mate. So what’s interesting to me is the wear pattern on the back plate. That plate on a new CD part is completely flat. And typical failure is in the well pin hole on the gear side, not the back plate. Do you still have the entire assembly and if so, would you mind...

I’ve got I4’s, v6s, i6s, v8s, and one v10. They all sound different and I like them all. Having said that, sound doesn’t make my decision making list. No regrets on a gen2 for me. Somebody should write a phone app and tie the obd2 rpm to a Bluetooth engine sound allowing you to select...

The attached is autoSS in action. Ive removed a few traces that don't need to be there. From top to bottom we have: - Phaser Closed loop control indication - Exhaust 1 PWM - Intake 1 PWM - Exhaust 1 Actual Phaser angle - Intake 1 Actual Phaser Angle - Accelerator Pedal Position - Oil Pressure...

Maybe. Depends on how often the event in my post happens. Like whether it does it every time. There are other places in a longer version of that trace where the same conditions exist and there is no locking. Also the above trace is with the forscan method of disabling autoSS. Suppose that...
