I’m curious if it’s grease from the pedal assembly that was overlubed from the factory. My old clunky 18 had a ton of grease that dripped one time on a 100 degree day….

Finding new valve covers has been a huge issue, they always seem to be backordered.

Interesting, I installed the 170 in mine and has not thrown the light after at least 2000 miles. I have been curious about the colder water temps going into winter.

I installed the colder 542's in mine totally stock. It runs perfectly smooth. Not sure if they are still available?

That dealer would never touch my truck again

Did you pour in the whole quart or just some of it???

I found mine on Ebay, that was a bunch of weeks ago. I would hope the backorders get filled soon......

It may not be cracked, I replaced mine several weeks ago and discovered the gasket on the old cover was pushed away. It's not an expensive repair either way. If your somewhat mechanical you can do it yourself..

I guess my issue with this is why have the phasers been changed 3 times? Thats about 2 times too many.

It was not bad, although the intake has to be removed. If you are somewhat mechanical you should fine. I would allow 1-2 hours max. My biggest issue was finding one. Hopefully your local dealers can get it for you.

My Raptor is a late build 18 and was bought new. Recently I decided to replace the spark plugs with the 542's that I've had for at least 2 years. This is a low miles truck with only 22000 on the clock, so first time the engine cover was removed and of coarse I was shocked to see the puddle of...

I just talked to a Ford tech that has done many. He does not pull the body for the phasers.

I had a similar experience with mine, although I don't think my carpet got that wet but I did the recall myself and it was fixed for good..

I wonder if they did not push the rubber elbow on far enough? I did my own and can see how it would be easy to not do the TSB correctly.

I tow a older mustang track car 2800lbs on an open trailer with gear and stuff with no problem and no mods to the truck at all.
