Rams haven't ever really seen them fail. Wonder if they opted for the pinned rollers where as GM and Ford let's the rollers spin. Think of dog bones on lifters

Last gen 1 i had, was just a check engine light. cam/crank correlation codes, still ran okay but i pushed it into the shop to not risk anything. I learned this from a dealer tech at Ford training course. Glad i did. Tensioner was full travel from stretch. He said he's seen a piston hit valves while driving onto a lift, fun to explain to a customer. The recent one i did had 270k miles.

Ouch. That really sucks. I mean timing chain, guides, and tensioner are a big and expensive job, but definitely cheaper than swinging an engine. Last one i did was in a full size transit, and longblocks were backorder. I did a shortblock. Im sure a "Ford only" mechanic would laugh at me, but spent about 5 hours with feeler gauges and calculator to figure what tappets and correct lash, then torguing phasers and doing timing.This dude said the engine light came on a week before (supposedly), then went out. Drove to work fine, came out and wouldn't start. He's fighting the ford dealer he bought it from (a few months ago) but I don't see that going anywhere
Today I put a second coat of poly on the table I built and got the rest of the parts for the car. So I ended up changing the coil packs and injectors on my wife's car. Was so damn cold outside but I got it done. I also noticed that the bolts to hold the lower intake manifold was a little loose and I'm hoping that was why it was leaking a bit of oil. Didn't want to spend more time by taking it off right now since it got dark and was only getting colder. If I have to pull it apart when it warms up then so be it.
Soon. Almost done. Just need to do a third coat, mount the top to the base, and finish the top inside of the base.Put some pics up.
Nice. Somebody was getting rid of a dresser a couple years ago, so I sanded it all down and refinished it for my daughter. A few years ago my wife wanted to make a basket for her friends baby shower. Instead of buying one I ended up making one and just kept adding to it. I have a thread up in the home and garden section. I also did a chicnick table for my mom (didn't know it was a thing but it's a small picnic table for chickens and their food).Nice got a couple cabinets I should refinish. I did 2 dressers 2 end tables and coffee table about 2 years ago now. The dressers were sanded down and refinished with navy blue antique paint and new stainless hardware. The oak coffee tables and end tables were sanded and refinished in black stain then clear. Its nice to be able to still see the grain on the coffee tables and end tables.
Nice. I just need more room in my garage and need to build a proper workbench since I'm spread out. I have a couple metal tables but then my miter saw is on top of a couple horses with a piece of plywood, then I use my planer on top of the table saw.I have a glass hutch i want to cut up and put ship lap in it and make into a coffee bar for our kitchen with a wine cooler and beer fridge in bottom half.
For the amount of money that is in one of these trucks you'd think they could have built a bit more margin in to the pumps. Not surprised that the evolution of fuels could cause issues with these pumps though.Blaming the cp4s on covid...from biodiesel sitting.
"However, as Ford’s investigation continued through late 2024 and more returned fuel pumps were disassembled for inspection, the automaker’s engineers concluded that the problem was deposits caused by “aged biodiesel.” Ford determined that the biodiesel deposits were a result of the COVID pandemic shutdowns, in which some trucks were parked for extended time periods before delivery.
According to the NHTSA report, these biodiesel deposits can cause increased wear of the fuel pump components and introduce metal debris in the fuel system. As a result of these findings, the decision to recall the trucks was made by Ford's Field Review Committee on Dec. 13, 2024.
The diesel-powered trucks suspected of having the condition were produced between Feb. 19, 2019 through Aug. 23, 2021. An estimated 4% of the 295,449 recalled trucks are suspected of having the condition. "

Overseas are not seeing these failures. Their fuel glows like radioactive waste though.For the amount of money that is in one of these trucks you'd think they could have built a bit more margin in to the pumps. Not surprised that the evolution of fuels could cause issues with these pumps though.

This is actually 1 thing you can thank Obama for. Legit. Double refined diesel that's striped of all lubricity
Something something preserving the environment by destroying viable cars and making their parts unrecycleable something something.AND CASH FOR CLUNKERS OK
