My current dilemma. 2016 3.5L XLT Sport.
Just thought I'd post to get some advice on what I should do ? My current ride is a 2016 F150 3.5 XLT Sport with 253000 kms. (167000 miles). I had the transmission replaced at 151000 kms through the Ford ESP program. The truck runs great, no accidents and acceptable rust on the frame.
I'm faced with a couple of major fixes coming up in the near future. I've been running for over a year with the exhaust manifold leak happening. I was thinking of replacing both turbos at the same time when I replace the manifolds. I plan on going with BD Diesel replacement parts.
My next problem is that I believe I have cam phasers on the way out. It started with the start-up rattle happening about 6 months ago. It lasts around 5-10 seconds and isn't overly loud on startup. No check engine light is currently present. I was planning on replacing the timing chain and water pump while in there.
The truck has been great to me and for the most part reliable. It is fully paid off and I just put a set of brand new KO3 tires on. I'm wondering what everyone's take is.These repairs will run 10k+. I love the truck but don't really want to get into truck payments again.
Thanks in advance.
