Cam Phaser/ Engine Failure Poll

[nikhsub1]

I had mine fixed after summer 2018 and it now rattles just like it used to. It’s getting worse and it rattles under light to moderate acceleration when the revs are up over 2000. It sounds like the engine is coming apart, Blackstone oil analysis says everything is great.

Unfortunately for you you got the same old phaser part that was prone to fail, and it failed again. The new part, IIRC, was introduced in 4/2019.

You guys sure are touchy about this whole phaser "issue".

It was Ford that designed the engine, they should be the ones defending their design that has issues.

Let's see some numbers Ford. Apparently your Gen 2 customers are worried a few Gen 1 owners posts on a message board are going to devalue their trucks- so step up and show us that that this engine is NOT a flawed design and that you DO have a fix that will last long term. Let's see the testing numbers. Let's see warranty claims so far and projected warranty claims with the new part.

The total lack of communication is what is so pathetic about the whole situation with the cam phasers. Ford is selling $75K F150s to guys who have to rely on someone they don't know and have never met posting online about whether their recurring engine noise will ever be fixed.

Didn't you just get back from being banned for posting similar ********?

You are describing 2 different issues.

The cam phaser issue that was resolved in production mid-2018 only occurs on a cold start.

If you are experiencing a noise concern unrelated to a cold start noise, it's something different. What year is your truck? A TSB was just released to address a cold start wastegate rattle on 2017s.

You know, you can click on his name then choose ignore. Then, have a :beer: and be happy!

I am not okay with someone spreading false information on a forum that exists to help owners and prospective buyers.

Hope its resolved after this, nothing worse than it putting a bitter taste in your mouth if it becomes a reoccurring issue. I speak from experience lol.

Sure hope not! Definitely has me thinking of moving on to a different truck!

Haha yeah that's why I have a Gen 1, sold my Gen 2 after 17K miles with phaser issues. If I were a Gen 2 owner now though.. I'd probably go for a Tremor... such a sweet truck.

Check your build date..my wife's '19 Expedition started doing it, too. Built in '18.

I just had the repair done to my '18 Raptor...so far so good, but I really wish it hadn't needed to be done.
