Have you pulled yours apart to see how bad the damage is?

Nope, got no time and even when I do get time it's too damn cold to deal with it.

I'm having a ford tech come by me tonight to look into it a little closer...

Understood, I keep forgetting where you live. We had such warm weather here in S.F, I painted an expedition mirror for a friend on Monday. I'd die first winter in Chicago!

Ok 3 different people from 3 different walks of life examined my truck at their own pace, all 3 said no need to rebuild but phasers, oil pump and chains are an absolute must. They all drove it and they say truck is got too much present horsepower to be a rod knock

Well that's good news!

I guess u could say that... now I have to find the most bulletproof phaser kit on the market and I want in on my door steps this week

I thought the Ford setup at $800.00 was the trick replacement set?
