Does anybody know what it costs to have cam phasers replaced to eliminate ticking noise on a 5.4L F-150 2004 model?

Thanks

 

I had mine done under warranty, it didn't take them long to do it...maybe 2 hours so I can't see it being TOO expensive. I take it the truck is out of warranty?

 

Yes it is out of warranty but I could get an extended warranty for $1400 but if was going to cost just a couple of hundred then I wasn't going to get it

 

I just wanted to point out, you refer to a ticking noise, and the fuel injectors make a constant ticking noise at idle. This is normal. The cam phaser noise is more of a knock, it's louder and is generally on one side, most often the passenger side of the engine.

 

Do you think it is possible to do it yourself? With out special tools?

 

It is alot louder than injectors i believe. I have a friend at work with a 05 5.4L I'm going to listen to his on Monday to see if there is a big difference.

 

Have you done a search on the subject? Should be a lot of info on here. Pay particular attention to anything posted by Quintin, as he is a Ford tech and has done the job.

Before I had mine done, it sounded like a diesel at idle.
