my F150 just went over the milage warranty and the left bank timing chain broke. The dealership says they are trying to get a good will warranty repair for the rebuild. Has anyone else had this problem. i service my truck regularly.

 

How many Miles or Kilometers? I have a 2007 with 190000 km. What is the recomended replacement intervals?

First timing chain failure on this site. I think.

 

no one here has ever had one break.

 

That is extremely rare for a timing chain to break. They stretch over time, but rarely break. If you were at 200,000 miles or more, I could see it as possible, but still unlikely.

Hopefully Ford will help with the bill.

 

I would think something locked up causing it to break,like maybe the cam bearings seizing up. Very rare for those chains to break.

 

104000 kms and i service it regularly. problably something to do with the cam phaser problems there known for

 

Hope they make good on the warranty. I had one chain stretch with only 63k on the motor.
