Did ford fix anything for the Gen 3 with Cham Phasers

[NJ2020]

This issue is completely unrelated to previous cam phaser concerns on other engines. There haven’t been issues since the new parts were implemented.

More of a running joke, but that’s good to hear.

It’s a preventative measure. It will not fix a phaser that has already exhibited a locking pin issue.

Gotcha

Pretty sure im just gonna let mine rattle after a disappointing dealer visit yesterday

This has been covered extensively. The redesigned parts went into production in November of 2019. They have no issues. Root cause was ultimately found to be duty cycle related; a new calibration was released in July of 2021 that prevents the issue from occurring on trucks built prior to 11/19.

What exactly does duty cycle related mean? Did they change the design or materials on the cam phaser?

They redesigned the locking mechanism. The issue affecting the previous design was being caused by the phasers locking/unlocking too frequently.

So the auto start/ stop contributed

2020 here with 26k and no issues. I drive mine like a rental too

The phaser is not going to bleed down during a stop/start event, so that is not a factor.

I disabled auto start/stop on my 19 at 1000 miles and my truck still developed the phaser problem between 18,000-23,000 miles.

I am curious what's the average mileage when the cam phaser issue starts to show itself? I'm a 2020 with 24k miles and nothing runs like a champ. If guys get past a certain mileage and no problems then are we in the clear so to speak, or can it rear its head at any time?

Ok my 17 it was 80,000. Extended warranty covered it.
