The very fact that Ford has updated the whole timing sets on all of their Triton series mills a couple times, tells you that you need to use the newest OEM pieces. Spend the dough, do it once, and forget it.

[@HockeyGoon939]

If you actually use your truck like a truck you'll do it about every 100K. The 5.4 lacks oil flow, the plastic tensioners and the very light duty cam phazers just don't have the durability to stand up to heavy use with a little abuse tossed in. That's before you even deal with the broke spark plugs. The two valve engines weren't to bad but they were also so much less complicated.

SO why gather all the information about you when you get oil changes, or get service on your car. SHould be outlawed to gather that much information and sell it to them. It's a scam meant to scare everybody into buying the report, OR using their service. That carfax is worthless to you and myself. a "clean" carfax report means nothing.

Great video, very informative. I have an FX4 5.4T I bought new in 2005 that started having timing issues at around 130K miles. I was going to buy a full Dorman Timing kit because of the price of the parts. Luckily I saw various of you videos and they convinced me to buy original Ford cam phasers, the M360 oil pump and a matched Cloyes timing chain and tensioners set. Once the work started the tech found about 3/8” play in the crank shaft so we added a crank kit (the thrust bearing was gone and the crank was badly scored). The engine was put back together and the truck is running wonderfully. It is a great truck that hasn’t had any other issues other that mentioned above. I look forward to spending many more years with it.

Great job, great example to use Ford OEM timing chain kit only, not the aftermarket junk parts repair.

I follow you all the time and installed new engine in my 2004 f150 180,000 mi on the mark got the motor the same place as you did yours. I'm hoping the new one will last over 180,000 MI. Last one was kind of my fault not taking care of it not enough oil changes using regular oil just neglect but I love the truck and I can't afford a new one but I love your shows thanks
