Has Ford corrected the Cam Phaser rattle in Gen3?

[cdodgela]

Im curious, did you use start-stop in its factory functionatlity?

I did until the first cam phaser repair, then I turned it off at the beginning of every drive. Didn't seem to make a difference with the subsequent returning cam phaser problems.

This cam phaser issue just won’t go away. I have not heard of a Gen 3 failure yet. I think Ford put this issue behind them.

Yea I was wondering about that. What you just said confirms what a good friend of mine just told me. He isn't a calibrator but worked on Raptor for a while. He didn't think start stop would affect it, because he said he was pretty sure the PCM remembers the position of the pistons during a start stop function and doesn't lock the pin.

My '18 had cam phasers replaced @15k, and 35k, and started the rattle again so I traded her in @ 50k miles for a '20. My '20's were replaced once @60k, it rattled for a good 10k miles before I had it done during which the computer fix was implemented but was already rattling. Finally traded her in @80k miles for my '23. First cam phaser fix took a month, second a week, the last on the '20 took 2 days. Would do it all again if I had to but I'm so glad they finally fixed the problem!

What was the build date of your ‘20?

It was in the first batch of 20's. Got it Nov '19.
