Third time cam phaser failure anyone else?

[Nerdles1]

Well they broke me. Been just about a month and it’s still in the shop. I went to another dealer and will be picking up a 2023 Azure Gen 3 37pp tomorrow. Maybe now I will get the updated parts and software update. Soon to be a 2017 avalanche with 10 months left on Ford ESP up for sale.

Now get out of my Gen 2 section, traitor.



No offense of course.

Any way I can educate her tactfully without just saying I read it on the internet?

Maybe ask her to have a man update the software while she makes you a sandwich?

Still have 2 gen 2’s at the moment working on a gen1 and R to cover everything

That make me think you should write a message in "random picture thread" : How definitely fix gen 2 cam phaser : Buy a gen 3 , radical solution

Now that is funny

I just had my cam phasers done, I had a long conversation with the service manager since it was the end of the day and no one was there. He said that every single 3.5 engine will need the cam phasers replaced. I thought that was interesting. He also said the new parts fix the problem. He stated they have only gotten 1 or 2 trucks back that had the new parts. Now maybe that's because the new parts are new. But I found it interesting. I am hoping this is my one and only trip to get them fixed. BTW, it was pretty painless. Left the truck there on Sunday night. Got it back on Thursday evening. He also said it was now easy to get the parts. They have them in stock.

Dropped mine off July 5th it’s still there. Right now I’m in my new truck honeymoon stage so I don’t care but I will start getting agitated soon again.
