I have a 09 F150 4door 5.4 pickup. It has 122k miles on it. It has started ticking, but only at startup and if I put it in reverse sometimes. I thought it was the pistons but they were not the issue. I was told it could be the cam phazer and timing needed to be reset. Any suggestions?

 

There is no timing belt in a 5.4l.

 

What brand and weight oil and oil filter are you using?

 

5/20W as required and Motorcraft filter
