My 5.4 craped out on me with no warning. I have the common tick of 5.4. Everything normal at 65 mph. then I loose power and runs rough. Truck is at second shop with mechs. scratching their heads with multiple codes of missing cylinders etc.. Cam phasers, vct solenoid and whatever else. What the f---! This seems to be a common problem. Any positive input?
