Technically yes, they have to prove the part caused the failure. In practice though, they say, "fuck you the intercooler caused the problem, don't like it? Get a lawyer!"

Find another dealer? I have found Ford dealers to be the absolute worst in the business so it is important to get a good one if you can.

every video posted thus far sounds like bad phasers to me. I should know, I listened to this noise for 5 years... Here is mine after about 5 years of rattling.

That’s how it is when you have bad phasers.

You 100% have bad phasers. The video you posted proves that. I was worried about the replacement too but ford has done so many of these now it’s just a common procedure at this point.

Not sure what your question is but if you let the phaser issue go on long term (like I did in my Gen 2 raptor) it will just get worse. Mine rattled on every start, even warm starts. By the time I brought it in even at idle the motor sounded awful. Mind you I dove the truck 30k miles once I heard...

Clearly... and there is no more travel.

Any info yet?

They should hold up fine. I used similar high temp heat paint on my gen 2 tips 6 years ago, still look good.

You'd be wrong. It's garbage. Do multiple dyno pulls on the stock IC and you will see the power drop like a brick at each run. Now do multiple pulls with a good aftermarket IC and pulls will be very consistent.

It's the toe being off side to side - the truck could be perfectly aligned at the wheels, but the tie rods are off making the wheel off center. Personally, I would go to a reputable alignment shop than the dealer. Dealer likely won't warranty it and claim you could have knocked it out of alignment.

He's quite the snowflake.

No you can leave the stock IC but on a single dyno run, timing and boost will get pulled due to high IATs on a stock vehicle. A quality IC can do many back to back runs with close to ambient IATs and no timing being pulled etc. A better IC is always going to help due to keeping IATs lower.

This is pretty common among most offroad vehicles. The solution is to get UCAs that can be adjusted while on the vehicle and lock out the alignment cams at the LCAs.

The OEM ford ICs are utter garbage. They are the cheapest IC I have ever seen in my life. Flimsy tube/fin with plastic end tanks. If you held one you would not believe how light they are. Just overall a poor unit. Bar/plate is really the way to go due to their robustness - they are significantly...

All turbos are sensitive to high IATs... the 3.0 is no different - and the OE IC sucks donkey dung.

It's 24k miles but who is counting?

Give them credit? Really? They have had this cam phaser issue for YEARS now and it is still happening.

Agreed.
