I am not saying that this is not the concern,but when the injectors go bad they usually stick open and hydrolock the engine.Actually seen one yesterday.It was #7 injector and it locked the engine up and damaged the starter.This is a concern for the 04/05 trucks.We have replaced engines for this.

I think he's talking about the noise they make so that one doesn't confuse it for the cam phasers.

And just what is the bill for re-phasering a truck?

I would imagine it would be around 1200.00 for the phasers and labor to install them.

Ford told my anywhere from 1500 to 2500. But luckily the dealership I bought the truck from replaced them for free!
