Cam Phasers
I thought when the cam phasers went bad the engine sounded like a diesel or a loud knock/ticking. I have an 08 f150 5.4 and it started sputtering and hesitating, felt like i was driving over rumble strips, complete loss of power. Was told it is a cam phaser by dealership.

Hmm, well my truck has the diesel symptoms. Yours sounds like you have a severe misfire... Not usually caused by cam phasers. But without seeing what they are seeing on their scan tool it is hard to say.

That sounds like the beginning of another horror story. Check out this thread - you might want to read the entire thread.

Thats a horror story that i hope doesnt happen to me. My truck is under factory warranty and i trust the dealership i took the truck to so i am not to nervous yet. They gave me a loaner car, a loaded focus, so i am ok for now.
