Ok, this is driving me nuts. The question is, does the 4.6 3v have cam phasers or not? From my research, I have found that the 4.6 gained vct capability with the redesigned 2005 Mustang. So, this leads me to believe that 2004 and earlier engines did NOT have cam phasers. However, a lot of people here are saying that the 4.6 3v in the F150 never got phasers. I have seen a lot of videos showing the 4.6 opened up and there are indeed phasers in it, however, I'm not sure of the platform it was in. So, has anyone here actually confirmed that a 2005+ f150 does, or does not, have phasers?? pics would help a lot!!!

Appears that the phasers came into the F150 4.6L in 2005.
Here is a video from YouTube of the 2008 4.6 phasers clattering:

I was under the impression the 3V 4.6 found it's way into the F150 in 2009 (and 2010), but the 2V was optional/available in 2009/2010 as well.

That looks like a 5.4L in the video, not a 4.6L.

If I'm not mistaking the 04-08 4.6 are all 2V like mine is

So then the 3v, never made it to the f150 for this generation?

That video is a 5.4......The 4.6 3 valve was only available in the 2009-2010 F150.

Correct

So LaMartian, you were right!!! hahahahaha.

So the 4.6l in the f150 was strictly a 2v correct? only the mustang got the 3v?

Finally, resolution... I've been wondering that since we last talked about it
