Maybe cam phasers? Timing chain?
Thanks, Gapafudus. All of sudden, my 05 has completely quit making the ticking noise and now goes from running perfectly fine to running a little rough at idle. I've ordered the VCT solenoids but have not received them yet. (BTW - what is TBS?)- Fallingapart

A/C fan stops blowing on long trips
Thank you, Gapafudus and Stamp11127. Mine will quit blowing if on Max or on regular a/c. I'll get the refrigerant levels checked and see if that helps. Thank you!- Fallingapart

A/C fan stops blowing on long trips
Thank you, Bedrck47. I have manual controls. The a/c and blower always will work fine for a while. The a/c is always is very cold and then over time on a trip (usually about 20 to 30 minutes into the trip) the blower slows down and stops blowing. This happens on hot days and the compressor is...- Fallingapart

A/C fan stops blowing on long trips
My 05 Expedition has long had an annoying problem with the a/c. Upon start up, the a/c works fine and the fan blows on high. The unit is always VERY cold but on long trips, the a/c fan gradually stops blowing. If I put my fingers into the vent, the vent and ductwork feel very cold but there...- Fallingapart

Maybe cam phasers? Timing chain?
Thank you, Jb14. I am kind of a stickler about engines running smooth (my Dad and I worked on a lot of cars and so I try to listen and observe carefully). When I say it was running kind of rough - most of my friends probably would not have even noticed it. At idle, the steering wheel has an...- Fallingapart

Thank you, Jb14, Gruz7 and Habbibie. Sorry for the slow response - yesterday this forum said I had insufficient privileges to reply! Jb14 - that is what I am looking for - reliability that I don't have to worry about! It has been my goal to get at least 250K out of this car - so I love what...- Fallingapart

Maybe cam phasers? Timing chain?
Hi Habbibie - Did it fix the tapping noise?!?!? I am still considering doing the repair myself. Jb14 and Gruz7 - An update - I went today to two Ford dealerships and talked to their service managers - and this time felt like they weren't just trying to scam me just because I am a woman. And...- Fallingapart

Thank you, Jb14. I've tried a couple of places - and they will not change the VCT solenoids for me. I am hoping to try one more place and if not, will try it myself. Frustrating.- Fallingapart

Maybe cam phasers? Timing chain?
Thanks, JB14. I went to the Amsoil website and found a local place here in town that sells it. I'll be heading over there tomorrow first thing. I might even see if they'd change that VCT solenoid, too, since I've got a busy next couple of weeks at work and it would be a while before I could...- Fallingapart

Thank you, Jb14 and Gruz7. Good info! What kind of filter are you using with the Amsoil? And are you getting the oil and filter locally or are you having to order it? I see it available on Amazon.- Fallingapart

Thank you again, Jb14. Oooh - the suggestion of a one piece is VERY good advice - I hate to imagine a lost bit dropped in there! Ugg! And thank you, Gruz7. I will definitely follow the suggestion from both you and Jb14 to replace the VCT solenoid. I've been running Valvoline full...- Fallingapart

Thank you very much, Jb14. I will definitely look at the VCT solenoid and see how to change it via Youtube. Thank you for the suggestion. And yes - I think that service center was completely full of it......- Fallingapart

2005 - 158K miles - 5.4 - cam phaser? Hello! I would appreciate your wisdom. I have a cam phaser tick on a 2005 Expedition (158,000 miles, 5.4 liter) that is barely noticeable (I have good hearing - most of my friends can not hear it) but it has been gradually getting louder. I took it to a...- Fallingapart
