Cam Phaser/Engine Failure Reports

[FordTechOne]

2020's have a redesigned part so failures should be minimal to none.

So do all 2019's. The updated part number was implemented in production in July of 2018 on all F-150 3.5 GTDIs.

You want the dealer to pull the cab. The work is easier to get at and you will get a cleaned job. My guys pull cab in 30 min

That may be true, but I still never want to see my truck like this!

Thank you for the responses. With less than 1,400 miles I’m still learning a lot about these trucks.

Probably a lot better than someone spending hours hanging over your fenders or front end. Even with covers, things could happen.

It does seem pretty drastic for the lay person to see there truck literally separated in half.

I could see that. The trucks are designed by ford to pull cab. Few things Unclip, master has two nuts that get removed, and that’s it with 8 body mount fasteners

Your truck will have the redesigned phasers, sounds like you got a faulty one unfortunately.

Mine was built in July of 18. Dropping it off tomorrow to have them replaced and hopefully all will go well.

it’s also recently started some kind of little rattle when giving it throttle. Sounds like the wastegates or a heat shield loose or something.

Aren't there 2 revisions of the part though? C And CD? Could be the first revision still had some issues?

I have noticed a slight roughness at idle from time to time is this one of the possible side effects ?
