Cam Phasers ......

[Todd Prestonq]

$285.00/hr??? Cheezus. I do commercial HVAC and we don't even charge that much per hour ho lee fork.

That's what I thought! I called Fugate, and they quoted the same cost.

Does this seem about right?

Dealer Estimate below:

Variable Cam Timing Solenoids and phasers to address check engine light and rattle noise:

Labor diagnosis and repair 2989.00

Parts 955.00

Shop supplies 100.00

Total $4044.00

Thanks.

Ford should be responsible for the specific expenses because this is obviously a Ford's design problem and they have admitted it.

At least Ford should share some load with OP.

Ford SHOULD be on the hook for all or some, but it was never a recall; just a TSB was put out for it. I have tried, but I'm getting nowhere.

If you go with Fugate, please to post your experience! I didn't buy my rig there but they're who I will be getting any service through...

P0018 and P0021 and running rough at times.

My Exp had these 2 codes in December. (check out here https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/camshaft-issues-p0022-and-p052d.53423/post-503014 )

the VCT solenoids on bank 2 driver side needed replaced. AUL approved the service and I owe $100 deductible. The total on the invoice for the job is $1411.48.

After had to return to dealership service to have seals/gaskets replaced but I have not had any issues since then. No more CEL and smooth running. note I have NOT had cam phaser work done and it is knocking on cold start up.

Have the phasers been replaced before?

knocking on cold start might mean you need to have the cam phasers replaced. but I'm not a doctor/lawyer or licensed mechanic so your mileage may very...
