I will follow up once I know what the deal is.

I did talk to the dealer, they said to drive the truck for 30 days until my warranty kicks in, then bring it in. They will pay the deductable and give me a truck to drive while it gets fixed. I HOPE its the manifold, you would know better than me. I should make a video and have you watch it haha

Yes cam phasers! Sorry I'm a Ford Tech so i assume everyone knows what im talking about lol! Well the cam phaser is kinda like a cam sensor or crank sensor! Basically determines timing for the engine the sensor is right on top of the heads just below valve cover! Look them up and Im sure you will see pictures of it!

Just an update, the dealer I bought the truck from (chevy), sent Me to the local ford dealer. It's a warped passenger side exhaust manifold, 2 broken studs, and a bad egr tube. All covered by ford! Apparently they cover this up to 80000 miles!
