Which is the way to go
Thinking of new phasers for the truck, I feel and also gleaned from the forum that ford improved them and on the other hand a large garage owner said to go with dorman he thinks they are the same phasers only a little less, either way I have to put back the funds so it will probley be a few ( 3-4) months any suggestions??? THANKS Dallas also glc Good ideal but no junk yards in my area have the appearance cover for the lincoln so I'm watching e-bay and craigs list but thanks for the get back.

If I had a 5.4 3 valve and it needed both cam phasers replaced, my next call would be to Comp Cams and chat with them about new cams and the phaser delete. Why invest that much money into an engine and then have a plain ol' 5.4 that could easily end up with cam phaser issues again? Comp Cams have performance cams available that will work with the current PCM with no special programming or tuner required. So you are aware, you'll lose a little low end torque but gains from mid range to high range. Comp can give the exact specs and cost.

Now there is an interesting concept. The link shows performance cams at around $638.00 apiece. Then there's the phaser delete = ????. And all this is supposed to work on a PCM that employs positive feedback cam retard --- without a tune or special programming????
I'll have to recommend the OP continue his research. A pair of OEM phasers can be had for around $450.00, and can easily last 200,000 mi with decent maintenance.

FWIW, you need to be replacing the chain and tensioners as well. I can assure you they will be worn.
