Typically the install takes less than a business day, and the tuner does address the fault codes related to the vct system. Of course if your vehicle has other faults, those codes will remain. As for power, most report back a noticeable improvement in power over a failed system. As for being worth the money, of course we feel it is. Especially given the fact that most temporary fixes start out at double the money, and ours permanently fixes it. As for customer testament, being we've offered this kit for nearly 10 years feedback is definitely out there, but the biggest testament is that most repair shops that install a customer supplied kit end up ordering multiple kits for stock.

So how is the phaser lockout of any benefit, as you have disabled the functionality of the cam phaser system? Seems like a backwards step?
@LivernoisMotorsports8 жыл бұрын
+Fabian F The advantage is removing a well documented design flaw from the engine for those more concerned with durability and in-service life while keeping repair costs down. As of now the only way to properly retain VCT is to just rebuild the engine to factory specifications every time the engine wears down enough to cause the system to fail. Considering some trucks have this happen in under 50k miles, you ca see how expensive this can be. Being there is negligible loss in power or economy ~700 once is far better than ~7000 every few years or less.
@cryptopyro8 жыл бұрын
+Livernois Motorsports If the low idle locking pin is causing the "ticking noise" problem, wouldn't it be better to create a remanufactured and improved cam phaser, so the improved low rpm torque is retained by having full functionality of the cam phaser system?
@LivernoisMotorsports8 жыл бұрын
+Fabian F Actually since the vct system makes the most torque by being in the fully advanced position, disabling it does nothing to the low end torque. Additionally since the engine itself is the cause of the vct system failing, you'd need to completely reengineer the base functionality of the vct system. Being the original design cost millions of dollars, and was flawed, engineering an improved offering could easily match the original's cost, without the economics of scale helping offset the price per unit. This could mean phasers that cost more than a whole new engine costs, which to be completely honest almost no one would buy.

not at all, the spring does not operate the phaser, it is only there to help dampen movement. The phaser is oil controlled as as an engine naturally ages, the oil pressure drops. Once it drops below a certain point, the phaser can no longer properly function. There is still plenty of rpessure for the engine to live a long, happy life, just not operate the phaser. So the lockout removes that issue.

Yeah, There should Be a Federal Government Mandated Ford Recall on Every 5.4L 3V Engine Ford produced.... or a Federal Class Action Law Suit against the Ford Motor Company....! 5.4L 3V engine owners need to win/be compensated $5,000 each to repair their engine, & legally "become whole again"...

Do you need to replace the phaser if you are going to install your kit?
@LivernoisMotorsports8 жыл бұрын
Only if there is physical damage to the phaser. However, that is rare, but you should always inspect it especially in the area of the dowel pin.

+PASCUAL MARTINEZ Did you purchase our entire kit with tuner and all? If so, did you ensure the programmer said "programming successful"?

Are you asking if this would address the check engine light associated with phaser failure? If so, then yes. It indeed does.

+chuy gonzalez The tuner can scan, and clear codes, and it does address the codes that come up when the VCT system fails, but it does not effect the diagnostic functions of the computer outside of that.
