K for all of you out there that have had either one of those replaced or both, will you put how much it cost out the door, if dealer did it or local shop and what year of truck and how many miles.... reason why i am wondering is cause i have a 2004 with 112k miles and they are both going out, dealer quoted me 1600 for both and just wondering if that a usual amount people are paying or if they have got them done cheaper doing something different... thanks alot for the help...

 

Why would you need new injectors?

 

I did them with help. Took about 6 hrs.

 

cause i took my truck to the dealer to get the iwe selinod replaced and told them to listen to the ticking noise and just make sure that is the phasers, the guy said there are 2 different ticks one sounds like the phasers and the other is the injectors is what he told me

jaymay how much of a pita where they to replace though and what did it cost you?

 

Injectors make a ticking noise. That's totally normal. Get another opinion about the noises. Some of this stuff is normal and nothing to worry about.

FWIW, injectors are a pretty easy thing to swap out in your driveway. If you must replace them, I'd do the job myself.

 

k i will have to get a second opinion, i trust the dealer and it is more then just the normal ticking noise it has been getting worse from what it use to be...

 

It cost me right at 1k for the phaser job

 

do it yourself? dealer? or body shop? thanks man

 

I had my phasers done about a month ago was going to be like 1k thank God for a warranty

 

The injectors are easy to do yourself. For the cam phaser job you can rent a timing chain wedge here http://www.shopfreedomracing.com/Tim...?categoryId=-1

 

heres a link to doing the cam phasers yourself..... might try to do mine myself....doesnt look to difficult... https://www.f150online.com/forums/20...placement.html

 

Phasers cost me about 700 out the door.

 

Local Shop He's done all the work on my truck. He was the head diesel mechanic at FORD but once the closed the local one to make one big central dealership he opened up his own shop. He is completely certified for the triton and powerstroke engines so I trust him with my truck anytime!

 

I second the second opinion.

 

k i will have to look into doing it myself to save the money, i would have to get some help from my dad and use his garage... but i will for sure get a second opinion i am just sick of the ticking noise all the time
