Description of the problem | Ford's 5. 4l 3 valve engines installed in their 2004-2010 trucks have, unfortunately, established a reputation for premature failure. Owners of these vehicle's report hearing a ticking noise from the engine accompanied by a loss of power and often a "check engine" light. Research has revealed that the cause of these issues is usually attributed to a failure of the cam phasers and excessive oil clearance in the cam journals. My vehicle shut off mid drive and has had all issues described above. It started with the ticking noise first then the check engine light next and then major loss of power. That went on for about 3 months before the first time it shut off mid drive. |
