How many 07's without cam phaser issues
Just curious (knock on wood) how many 07's are out there that have not had cam phaser issues? Do ALL of them have this issue eventually or are there still lots of 07's that have not had this issue?

Love my 5.4
Put 194,000 miles on my '07 (so far) and haven't had any mechanical issues to complain about. Plugs replaced by a Ford dealership at 125,000 miles without issue, but it was more expensive than a plug change should have been.
I have a slight rattle noise at idle so I expect it's the timing gear and chain. It's on my short list.
Also have a small shudder taking off sound corners. Dealer says its clutches in the rear end, but it can wait a while.
Best vehicle I've ever owned which is why I'm still driving it.

My 07 has 137k with plugs changed myself at 110 no breaks with no problems yet with phaser or timing components. Great truck, but I think the biggest problem with the 5.4 is the pass exhaust manifold. Changed mine 6 months ago because the ticking was driving me crazy, point to the story is the manifold is leaking again oh yay.
