@@matthewblackwood4704 check transmission fluid first. If fluid is OK, it means the transmission neutral switch is not properly engaged in park, so it won't start. Make sure you can pry the transmission gear knob area with a screw driver, to help engage the transmission in park.

Yeah it was bad on the outside but definitely a reman engine inside.

@michaelbenoit248 3 года назад

If you’re having issues w these things, it’s time for a good quality reman crate motor, don’t waste your time with the cam phasers, they would be working if there was oil pressure, & because they’re not they’re garbage along with the motor. Grenade the motor then drop a crate motor in it not from the crap yard that’s not a 3v & it’ll be fine.

@Bandit69ply 4 года назад

We have similar problems at the plant where the 5.0L is built. If the exhaust VCT isn't installed correctly it will ruin the VCT and nose of the cam when it goes through the machine that checks the timing. I said all that just to agree that if you don't install the VCT correctly and torque it properly you're wasting your time and money. Great video and i agree with another commenter that this guy is thorough and explains what to look for and what not to do on certain repairs.

@hutchinson54 Год назад

That’s probably the thing I enjoy most about your videos: You don’t just start replacing parts and say “Maybe this will work” or “Maybe this will fix it”. You actually take the time and do actual diagnosis and do a process of elimination. Part by part, step-by-step. This is the way it should be. But as you already know, a lot of dealerships don’t do that. They just start replacing parts and hope that it’ll fix the problem. Keep up the good work.

@ryanwalker2299 4 года назад

Great diag! It seems like I won't see these 3valves for a while then all of a sudden they start coming in one after another, at my age of 56 and working on so many different car lines I definitely need a refresher in these engines from time to time. Down here in South Louisiana we don't have to deal with rust and most of these trucks are in good shape, but if I can learn any thing about any vehicle especially these engines I'm all ears. I'm one of the few shops that will work on these engines, a lot of the other shops have been burned on them so they won't touch them. Great video looking forward to the next one!

@purecuIt 2 года назад

I've been running okay with frequent oil changes (every 5k miles) and a bottle of oil stabilizer now for 2 yrs since I got the truck. It seems to be worse sometimess, better at other times. Runs fine, no stalling. In fact, someone pointed the ticking out to me saying they had a Triton engine do this but I no longer noticed it until he pointed it out. I drove 2000 miles cross country and towed a trailer with a car on it no problem last year.

@prevost8686 4 года назад

Sea Hawk Toyota and Honda have had relatively few issues with their VVT systems in well maintained vehicles. There’s nothing wrong with the design. It’s the junk parts combined with the lack of maintenance that has made Ford’s such a nightmare. GM’s V-6 engines aren’t having major problems as well due to garbage O.E. Parts.

This is great stuff! I plan to use the exact same diagnosis. Last year I did the whole timing job: the chain, phasers, solenoids....ALL Ford parts. I put a Melling 340HV oil pump in too. Sometimes when coming to a stop, the timing on one bank will not go back to base. It's like it's stuck activated.

@FordTechMakuloco 4 года назад

That is an oil pressure and volume issue. If you are sure everything was installed properly and the pan has been cleaned out with no startup rattle then I recommend performing a crankshaft end play check. If ok then use 5w-30 oil, if the concern is still there then use Rotella 5w-40 oil.

I can really use your help on this! I have a 2004 Ford F-150 with 155,000 miles on it around 100,000 miles the timing was done on it the full subang with moterctaft parts! At 140,000 my transmission went out, I had it replaced but the transmission shop damaged the transmission lines so all the fluid leaked out 2 days later. They put new lines on it but my motor was running really rough and it was indicative of cam phasers. Took it to the shop and me and the mechanic got into the front end and realized my timing chain has stretched and it broke a guide, we redid the entire timing on it and it’s been driving perfectly until the past few thousand miles, ever since I purchased the truck it’s had a p1000 code and it doesn’t throw a check engine light but that’s not my main problem my problem is I’ll go to work in the morning start up the truck and I see a puff of smoke out the tail pipe for a second and sometimes when I get on the grass smoke will come out, also when I get home and put in in reverse to back up the driveway it starts to run really rough but if I get the rpms above 1500 for a second everything smooths out, it throws a p0022 code and I’m really confused now! What should I look for. It has new camshaft position sensors, new vct things, new spark plugs, and new coil packs! Please help!

06 3v has same codes, at times will drop down and idle rough. New timing kit, new oil pump. New solenoids and phasers only dr side. So I prefer and installed a ford vct still does the same thing. Swapped cmp sensors from side to side, no change. I'm lost.

Missing catalyst converter caused problems. Same problem I'm having with my Ford.

Not sure how I feel having a 5.4 3v f150 knowing there are guys like Brian making a living out of just doing repairs on this motor..that says a lot. But when this thing is running good it's an awesome truck. I have 190k and I do have a ticking but also using about 1/2 qt oil in 700 miles or so, I'm so torn on having a timing job done or just letting it last as long as it can the way it is then put a new ford rebuilt in it.
