Ticking? Gone?
K. I have an 06 5.4 FFV. I've had a ticking that I've been trying to get the dealer here to look at, since the next closest dealer is 90 miles away. They insist it's normal, when I know it's not.
Anyway,
I installed my evo tonight, set it to performance, and the ticking is GONE, just plain GONE. And the truck actually idles lower, so it's not a NOISE issue, THE TICKING IS GONE.
I work for John Deere, and we've had EUI problems where the fix was a reprogram of the ECU. Is it possible that this Cam Phaser issue is a problem with the timing of the PCM, that they don't have their timing set right in order to make it drive like a Cadallac???? Deere didn't have their injection pressure and timing right and it was causing a carbon build up leading to stuck injectors, is it possible that the advance is off just enough to cause the cam phaser issue????

A PCM reflash is one of the fixes for the ticking issue. I am still working on a sticky for this subject to help list alot of possible fixes.
