Where to get cam phasers replaced for 2008 F-150?
08 F150 triton began to run very poorly and check engine light came on. I took my truck to Grand Prairie Ford in TX, and they wanted to replace the cam phasers, timing chain and guides for $3,400. I had just purchased the truck 2 years prior and was still making payments.
What does variable valve timing on Ford F-150 do?
The variable valve timing system operates when the engine computer (PCM) sends oil pressure to one or the other chamber of the phaser via cam timing solenoids. Unfortunately, these cam phasers wear and cause various rattles and clicking noises from the engine in 2004 to 2008 F-150 models at low oil pressures, like at idle.
How much would it cost to fix a 2008 Ford camphaser?
I called the local ford dealership and said to bring it in early a.m. They put on scanner and said the camphaser is shot and should replace motor. They quoted over $8000 Canadian dollars to fix. They indicated that 2008 and previous was bad camphasers and lots of issues.
Why are there only 2 camshafts in a 5.4 Triton?
This allows for smoother and more powerful performance. The Ford F150 5.4 cylinder heads have only one camshaft each. 2 valves are at the inlet, 1 at the outlet. Degree of compression 9.8 to 1 allows the use of gasoline with octane number 92, which helps to save on fuel.

When did Ford add variable cam phasers to trucks?
Ford included all the latest technologies into the 4.6, 5.4 and 6.8 liter modular motors, and when they produced the three valve cylinder head in 2004, they added variable cam timing. If you have a 2004 to 2008 gas powered truck that makes a noise like an old diesel at idle, the hydraulic cam phasers may have gone bad.
