Question Cam Phaser or Not?

New to Club, Hoping someone can help before i dump $$.

Once truck is warm, its rattles and shakes like its starving fuel. Worse when backing up.

If i am in neutral, i can rev the engine and it corrects the rattle/shake and can sit idle for hours without reverting back to the rattles.

As soon as i start driving again and slowing at a light it starts rattling and shaking. The sound is almost like as if it was a diesel.

Once the truck is over 50kmh it does not do it at all and rides, sounds great with normal gas mileage.

I have heard this is a cam phaser issue, but maybe its timing chain or something simpler. Any Thoughts and thanks to all.

From what I have read it definitely sounds like a cam phaser issue. It didn't sound like it was a terribly difficult job and it seems that some have corrected the issue by adding springs.
