Cam Phaser debacle

[Flash1034]

2017 801A here.
approx. 60,000 km (Canadian here)
Daily driver, but not far. Zero oil consumption, running Mobil 1.
Had sun roof issue at 1 year, as well as doors freezing recall. Both fixed.
Had the cam phasor ecm flash recall, got that done, but no cam phasor ratlle (yet).
Long term 13.5 l/100 km average. Still burning off my first set of BFG KO2's, another set sitting in the garage.
The GPS clock setting is stuck on the Dearborn time zone, no amount of stealership hit or missing has been able to fix it (I'm in the Pacific time zone).
Obligatory thread hijack: looking for someone in BC with Forscan experience to turn off headlight daytime running lights, and put on ambers instead. Would also consider Spokane WA area.View attachment 346324

If you wanna drive to Kalispell Montana , I can Forescan your lights for you.

Hey Bill, thanks for the offer. Missus and I are planning that as soon as JT drops the covid scan hurdle to get back to beautiful BC. Might even happen later today I hear. Followed you so I can find you nest time I'm down. Should be soon if prices here hit $10/gal. Be worth it just to fill up (+ 4 jerry cans lol(

Sounds good. Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse than Biden….Trudeau.

I had the exact same issue, P0018 and P0021 codes. Engine rattle that kept getting worse, Loss of power and Misfiring while idling, truck actually shut off at a light.

Dealer replaced cam phasers and timing chain. But this did not fix the issue other than the rattle.

Took it back, and dealer replaced the Cam shaft actuators as this was their next best guess of what the issue could be.

Truck seems to be having no issues at this point.

Yep, that's the exact behavior of my truck. Ugh.

Update - Truck is still gathering dust at the dealer with no ETA of parts.

Unfortunately this issue is still plaguing our trucks. Ford cheaped out designing and manufacturing these critical parts and did their best to avoid issuing a recall. I have an early 2017 which had this issue, and sorry to see newer trucks are still affected by this.

No, it’s not. The new parts have been out for over 2 years now. Ford doesn’t even manufacture the parts, they’re made by Borg Warner. The root cause of the issue was found to be the calibration, which was released as a recall last year. They also issued an extended warranty on the parts.

My parts have been on order for over a month, still driving the truck.

Got my truck back today! She's as good as new (so far). Everything was covered, even though my truck is out of warranty. Here's what they did:

Glad it is finally fixed!
