Maybe the tech just misunderstood what they meant by provide more service than the customer expects....

I think my 18 is having this issue now. When I start it cold in the morning it has a pretty distinct and loud rattle for a few seconds. I'd say from experience its about the time the engine would take for the oil pressure to come up to normal. Truck has almost 50k on it. Called my dealer and they said they're busy until August and the parts are on backorder so they have no idea when they could even get the parts. That's Mike Naughton ford in Denver. Anyone know if any of the other dealers in Denver are better? These guys seem to be bottom of the barrel more or less. You'd think this would be a great warranty job for a dealer, but they seem uninterested.
I’m at around 31K miles and I admittedly here a brief clatter for maybe 1/2 second on a cold start.
Sure I could get them replaced but I’m not sure there is a reason. It runs fine. Drives fine. Certainly it’s not out of time. Is it eventually going to get bad enough that it’ll need to be replaced? Probably.... I’ll wait until then... because I’m betting the replacement phasers are going to eventually do it too. No sense wasting good mileage.
So im dropping off the truck tmw for cam phaser change.
Its running a mpt tune, should i just drop it off as is, or will cam phaser change requiring pcm flash cause an error?
The stock file i have regretably is a whipple stock tune
Why FORD is ignoring this issue? Do you guys think there will be a recall?
