Ok, they mention anything about your phasers too? I was at ford today asking around about injectors while my oil was getting changed and they mentioned phasers and injectors and manifold leaks but nothing about lifters... I guess the 2008 year is injectors.... Man I wish it possible to quiet those f'ers...

Mine sounds like a diesel when idling. I've had multiple people ask me if I have a powerstroke swap, and the guy at the smog shop nearly shat himself when I first brought it in for check, saying that motor swaps are illegal in CA and that i'll fail the smog check haha. I told him its just the noisy ol' 5.4L
