GEN 2 Correct replacement phasers

[Oldfart]

Not to go to bat for the guy , but the 6.0 ls from mid 2000’s before the deactivation nonsense is a fantastic engine, super reliable. Speaking from a work truck application.

I agree with you, I was referring to the whole vehicle. Most everything has some sort of issues.

Back to Raptors... According to my door, I have a build date of 11/19. So guess I'm too close for comfort.

so, to conclude, I feel confuse ... I still hope that 2020'S built after november 2019 have the good ones, mine is 02/20 , and actually , no cam phaser recall or update sotware...No more rattle noise at cold start ! I remember Fordtechone said Raptor who came after 11/19 have new design parts with udate program. Keep cross finger for it's still actual !

Mine was 3-13-20, so I'm good too. I did get the longest Ford warranty extension just in case something goofy happens. I love this truck and plan on keeping it a long time.

Mine is 04/19. As long as you had FSA 21B10 installed the new calibration prevents the failure mode.

So both ours are pre parts change but is supposed to "prevent failure" by a software update?

They updated the part 3 times before it was determined that the calibration was causing premature wear. That’s why vehicles with the latest part level still need the new calibration.

I think I’m going to skip my replacement. Truck has had the issue since 11k miles or so. At 38k now and it doesn’t do it every startup but i am so afraid of a botched job and side effects. I have zero issues besides the phasers but it doesn’t affect how it drives. I’m conflicted.

Same here. Started rattling at around 14k and now at 28k. Can't bring myself to have it done, but I still might do it. Been looking for a 2020 later build to trade it in on to avoid the whole thing.

I apologize if I missed it having been asked/posted already. Has anyone here priced out the parts needed and assembled a “kit” that includes everything needed to accomplish this themselves, beyond that of the campaign list (often needed extras included). Possibly a dealer that offers this via their back counter website close to wholesale.

It is a real dilemma these days, even before Covid it was incredibly hard to find a $tealership that was worthwhile. Now it’s almost completely impossible! That whole more harm than good thing.
