actually looks like it is nowhere near as bad as the OP makes it sound.
Six gaskets, four seals and a damper bolt?
To me it sounds like a standard timing belt change.
It's actually the cam phaser that makes the noise and needs changing as well.

3k on synthetic oil sounds about as fun as burning a pile of cash
Not if you are driving in harsh conditions. Synthetic oil is a superior lubricant. BUT, the main job of an oil is to suspend contaminates. Synthetic oil is no different than any other oil in that regard. The oil gets contaminated and destroys the engine if not changed.

sucks but I think you saw my thread and recent comments about the one I just traded in with 74K miles that had the same issue. Went back with the 5.0 and I'll probably never buy another turbo engine vehicle from Ford.
Good luck

dude this has absolutely nothing to do with my oil change intervals

Would it be cheaper to drop a 5.0 motor off eBay? Not sure how that works, but 4K is bordering on a different engine? Right?

Brand new Eco is 8k without labor

I hope you replaced the entire timing system and not just the chain. If you did just the chain, it's only a matter of time before it starts again.

That's why I said eBay. I just looked and they are under 3k. 2011-2013 engines out of wrecked 150s. I am just planning on mine breaking down.
I want to know what you do, so I can either learn from your mistakes or benefit from your wisdom.

Yeah man it's a mess. I know for a FACT this issue is completely fixed for the 16+ Eco but who really knows what could come up.

again, its the chain AND the cam phasers which actually are making the noise. First TSB was just the chain, then they saw the problem coming back and re issued another bulletin for the phasers

I'm gonna find out if I can just let it go without doing any further damage. The noise really doesn't bother me.

I've been looking at new trucks on and off
Hopefully I can trade it in and let the dealer deal with it
Might get a sierra all terrain

Says not Ecoboost owner ever. About 1mpg better than the V8
Im actually getting 1.5mpg enter in my new 5.0 on 35's than I did with my ecoboost on 33's

I mean regardless of the issues, the new body Fords are outrageously expensive compared to equally equipped GMs.
Posted on 1/20/17 at 4:53 pm to shawnlsu
Been getting 19 mpg on my 16 for the year I've had it. Only going to get better on the newer motors with 10 sp transmissions.

It could also depend on axle ratio more so than motor, especially with bigger tires. I've got 35"s as well, but my mileage is off because I haven't re calibrated or programmed, so I'm not exactly sure what the real life numbers are.

You're complaining because your engine worked well for over 100k miles
You've got to be kidding. 200k is my minimum expectation these days if I keep good oil in it

4x4? What axle ratio?
exactly. Sucks because I rely on this truck for work
