I just bought a 05 screw lariat.
When i drive a long distance and get home to back in the truck, i get a strong shake coming from the engine. Tonight when it happened again while i was in reverse the truck shook and started to hear a knocking from the engine bay. Not sure where from. But it will stop within a few seconds. Also theres seems to be a little tick from both sides of the motor.
Thanks in advance!

 

Take it back if you can. 05's are a bad year.

 

Im calling the dealership tomorrow. Do you think its the cam phasers or something else?

 

Could be that, you could have an injector problem on top of that. It was the year of bad injectors as well. Look at the injector letter, -top of the engine forum page.

 

You would be allot better off with an 08 imo. - If you can swing it.

 

The problems were fixed in 07 at some point. I can't recall when in 07, it may be all 07's or just 07 1/2's. Someone here will know. If your looking at an 07 and it has brown coil boots, then it's a good one.
