I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED WITH 82000 ACTUAL MILES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT AROUND 89000 MILES AND I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT THE FORD DEALER.. YOU CAN IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN HE SAID IT WOULD COST $4500.00 TO FIX IT. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT! I CHECKED AROUND AND FOUND SOMEONE WHO COULD DO IT FOR $2000.00 BUT i AM ON A FIXED INCOME AND THIS IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO DO. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT FORD WOULD PUT A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT OUT THERE FOR THE PUBLIC TO BUY AND USE THAT WAS SUCH A SORRY P.O.S. KEEP IN MIND THAT I SELDOM USE THIS TRUCK, AND NOW I USE IT EVEN LESS - I HAVE HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS AND IT STILL HAS LESS THAN 100.000 MILES ON IT - YOUR CAM PHASERS ARE A PLIGHT ON FORD'S INTEGRITY AND I WILL GET RID OF THIS PROBLEM ONE WAY OR THE OTHER - BUT YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT COME WHAT MAY. I HAVE ALSO TOLD MY FRIENDS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ARE NOT BUYING THEM EITHER IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE? I DO LIKE THE TRUCK OVERAL, BUT DAMN, PEOPLE I MEAN COME ON!
