Email ford reps from this site or call ford corporate. They have to offer you a loaner.

What was your experience with this crap? How long was it down? Do you notice it driving different since you got it back?
I'm very concerned and don't know my next steps. Any advice or experience would be appreciated.

If you search the forum ,most guys were ok after the repair. One guy had his engine fail because of bad timing after few miles

Thank you for the response. I appreciate the insight.
I'm having trouble figuring out the search feature on this site but I'll keep digging for those other threads you mention.

Most members here say that the whole engine needs to come out to do the job. At dealer the service advisor told me it doesn’t but I will know after they do the job

Radio silent? lol
They told you that they were going to start on it the same day you made this post.
I'd maybe give them a few days to actually make the repair before freaking out...

I said "bummed out" not "freaking out". Try and do a better job reading so we dont get our signals crossed.. Also, communication has not been fords strongest attribute during this experience, but you make a fair point, I'll give'em another 24 hrs before expecting any/better communication.
Thanks for your reply.

Talking about the cutting your losses and selling it, the vehicle potentially being a lemon and blaming the dearer for lack of communication and them being radio silent after less than a day and when they've clearly done a seemingly great job of communicating that they had the parts in stock, when to drop it off and when they would begin working on the vehicle.... you right, sounds much more like bummed than freaking.
Pulling the whole engine out and replacing the phasers pays around 17 hours warranty time, so don't be surprised if it takes more than 2 days.
Either way, hopefully they get you back on the road and you no longer have any issues.

All good. I totally understand that phaser failure at 6k miles is not something anyone wants to deal with.

I was just sitting talking with an old.timer at the bar about this issue and we had a thought neither of us knew the answe to.
My 2022 badlands has the cold weather engine heater coil and plug since I live at a high elevation.
Would keeping the truck plugged in help alleviate the cam phaser rattle since it seems to be an oil/lubrication issue that occurs at cold start up?
Any logic to this?
