I've seen instances where codes were thrown and nothing was actually wrong with the vehicle. The computer sometimes gets false information and will throw a code just to be safe. The 4.6 is not notorious for the cam phaser issues that the 5.4, 3 valve was. If the truck is running fine and not making a loud constant tick, I wouldn't worry about it as long as it doesn't keep throwing the code. If it does it again though, then it might be the time to start thinking about getting rid of it or getting it looked at by a professional if you don't want to get rid of it.
