  1. 2nd Gen F150 Ecoboost
    My cam phasers were replaced by the dealership about 3 years ago, and I was told they installed the updated part. I've read in the forums that for a while Ford was putting the same faulty part back into customers vehicles. I'm a bit skeptical this might have happened to me since I'm experiencing...

    New member - but I've been reading threads and trying out things (that are within my capabilities) on my 2013 SCREW 3.5L for a little over a year. I really appreciate all the time and effort ya'll put into your posts - super helpful! Unfortunately, I have the dreaded timing chain rattle @...
  3. F150 Ecoboost Recalls and TSBs
    I received the timing "kit" from Ford and thought I would share the contents. It is far from what I consider a complete list for the job, but saved a few hundred dollars over ordering the parts individually. It does appear that everything I thought would be in the box is included. That said...
  4. F150 Ecoboost Maintenance
    Gearing up for this beast of a project and it looks like the most recent thread on timing chain components was back in 2020. I took that, browsed the relevant TSB's and put together what I hope is an up-to-date list. * EDIT: scroll to post #12 for the final list as of 3/27/23 * Hat-tip to @DNA...

  6. F150 Ecoboost Problems
    150k miles 2013 3.5L EB. Got camshaft/timing chain CE codes about a month ago. Took it to mechanic who replaced the timing chain about $2500. Still didn't feel right after that, took it back and they replaced spark plugs $200. Still didn't feel right but he assured me it's all good. Few days...
  7. F150 Ecoboost Problems
    I have the dreaded cold start rattle on my 2013 Eco F-150. Is there a diagnostic that the dealer runs to comfirm VCT phaser problems? Is there a way to determine how close I am to bigger problems (like throwing the timing chain)? The dealer wants $3,000 (maybe more) to repair. Its worth 3K to me...
  8. F150 Ecoboost Problems
    2012 F150 EcoBoost with 195000 was getting the dreaded cam crank correlation it ran fine other than when trying to accelerate wouldn't go anywhere and then it would kick in and go it had no misses no nothing . I had a mechanic replace timing chain now when driving down the road and go to...
  9. F150 Ecoboost Chat
    I think I already know the answer based on YouTube, but I have a 2011 3.5 EcoBoost and I'm around 187,000 miles on the odo and I don't see that the timing chain was ever done (I got it with 150k). It doesn't rattle on startup now that it's warm but when it was cold weather there was a pretty...

Next day same issue but this time P0303 Misfire Cyl 3. Plugs were fresh and properly gapped so i switched plugs between cylinders 2...
  11. F150 Ecoboost Problems
    Over the last few weeks I have noticed that in the morning when I start up the truck, it gives a little grind or rattle for about 1 second. I didnt think much of it, figured it was a fan rubbing on a casing or something minor until I googled and youtubed examples of the problem. It sounds...
  12. Introductions
    Had my truck for the past 3 years 76,000 miles. I have spent a lot of time reading through these posts, some helpful some not. Decided to join tonight considering I had the time and a couple questions. Just recently had my timing chain replaced due to rattle on cold start, occasional sluggish...
  13. F150 Ecoboost Problems
    Hey Gang, This is sort of a PSA regarding this cold start grinding noise issue that a growing number of Ford F-150 Ecoboost owners are beginning to experience with their 2011 and some 2012 3.5L Ecoboost trucks. The problem can be heard right here: This is NOT the Vacuum Pump making noise...
