Re: Cam

Just had it done by Ford, 2,300.00.. Pretty pissed about that one since it's a known issues.

I have also heard of owners running 5w-30 or 10w-30 and this noise never reappears.

Doesnt mean the problem is fixed, its just masked.

Almost 120k on my '10 EL...ticking has gotten worse and I have been to dealership twice. Quoted me $66x.xx to change the solenoids as they were allegedly causing the noise[TSB as well]. So far I have changed out the passenger side[not at the dealership] and noise is still evident.
