Was going to say cam phasers...but looks like you already did em'! You sure they did them both?? For the price they should have!! I always wonder when dealerships perform work if they are really doing the work...not like you can pull it apart to look....

ticking
I'm at a lost... I'm not sure where to start i'm thinking of trying another ford dealer and let them tell me what's going on. one dealer said these trucks are good for about 189,000. And he was a ford dealer.. Wow i'm not trying to belive that..Is there anything else that would cause this ticking sound?

I have a 2004 with similar ticking. I had my mechanic look at it and he says it's simply the fuel injectors. He works for Visteon and dealt with these motors a LOT. Ford went away from the metal fuel injectors to plastic housing fuel injectors which echo like hell. I can hear it in the cab when the radio, fans are off and at idle, barely. If I roll down the driver's window I can hear it just a tad more. The reason you hear it in the cab is the right side of the motor the fuel injectors are closer to the firewall than the left.
He told me the cam phasers will cause other problems than just ticking, including it running like *** and practically stumbling over it's own nose when trying to accelerate. Honestly? If it's running okay, I don't think I'd worry about it a whole lot. Just my two cents.
Best of luck.

okay driving to work this am and going up a hill it suttered and finally got to the top and cut off and i crank it up only for it to die. cranked again and there was now a really loud like whining noise combine with the ticking. and ran really rough. had it towed to the shop. and i decided to go with an 80,000 mile engine for 3,500 installed. has anyone went this route? If so how much have you guy's paid? I could not afford the reman engine for 7,500 although the 3yr unlimted warranty sound like the way to go.
