My first Raptor - some questions

Thank you!

So now I have cam phaser issues? These first 4 months of ownership have been rough

This literally started in the last week or so. Thought because it was at 106k miles I was past the cam phaser issue, hoping that the prior owner had resolved it.

I thought I was hearing this from time to time the last week but I let it sit overnight, didn't remote start, went outside just to see if I was looney, but sure enough, it made the noise. I think this is cam phasers, right?

Unfortunately yes. That’s the phaser rattle. Plain as day.

this is a huge bummer

well... if I'm gonna do it, do I just do the whole timing system? chain, guides, tensioners?

Found the right kit from Freedom Racing, edited my post. Will keep the thread updated. After this the truck better be bulletproof Thane from Freedom Racing was super helpful on the phone.

Gonna put some of those Lowes springs on the turbo wastegates and some PB blaster silicone on the leaf springs. Hope it will not need anything else after this for a while... All the budget for the GooseTune is going the way of the phasers...
