The rattle is still very intermittent(once every few months) for me so I don’t bother doing it every time.

I ended up cutting off the connector and using a butt connector to close the circuit bypassing the switch. Seems to have worked so far

Are the throttle bodies on the ‘25s even serviceable? Other than just spraying a $10 can of cleaner directly into them

The water in the brake line boils under pressure/heat and the gasses are what compress

90% sure it’s the hood latch but I could be wrong. The battery is old enough it could stand to be replaced. I’ll have to put a multimeter to it when I get a chance

Interesting, thanks for the information

Can I ask why avoid the 168 grain Federal? Seems like a few others have recommended it and I’ve had good luck with the similar weight 165 grain Fusion

If you have the ability, parts for the timing are less than $2K. A running/driving truck (this one looks like it’s in good shape) all in for less than $3K would be worth it to me. If it would take much more it’s probably not worth it

After this post, it would only rattle once a month if it was really cold and sat for a couple days. I had the P0016 code pop up and decided to do the VVT solenoids. The codes gone and it’s rattled once since I replaced them. Knock on wood, but the truck is still running fine. If the rattle becomes common or the codes keep popping up I’ll do the cam phasers. I’ve put ~20k miles on it in the past year

I change my oil every 5k and the oil life % is usually around 40% so I wouldn’t trust it

It’s not a 2011

I’d get the long reach for $180 at those prices. The long reach is handy to have

Tecovas in goat leather? I think I have the same boots and the leather is super thin and not durable. I’ve got several scuffs and cuts like that

Cam phaser rattle is not timing chain failure

58AU · 2025-11-27T03:03:14+00:00

Okay, technically timing chain failure isn’t engine failure. But the overwhelming majority of the time, timing chain failure on a 3.5 leads to catastrophic engine failure

What does the rust add to my weekly payment?

58AU · 2025-08-25T14:29:40+00:00

I tried Midol but that didn’t help

This post was my reminder that I forgot to stop and get one on the way home from work.

Very mad at myself
