Engine ticking, from prior reports looks to be a common issue, also when filling up with gas it seems to have back pressure and keeps turning the pump off.
I bought a 2007 ford f15 fx4 truck a years ago, and took it to ford to asked them about the ticking noise coming from engine. they told me that it was normal on the 5.4 triton. about a week ago the ticking got louder and i looked up problems online, and found that there is a design flaw in the engine that causes cam phasers to fail, and oil pressure drops to zero. ford knows about the problem, but when i called they told me that i need to replace the engine, and that it would be on me. i looked on several ford forums and found that there are 1000's of people talking about this. is it going to take someone getting killed before ford owns up to there problems! they are ignoring the issue and having the consumer pay aywhere from 3500- 8000 dollars to repair this issue. also, the engine has very bad power loss and shakes vigouresly when warm and pulling up to stop or reverse.
Vehicle loses power at 45 to 60 mph or on a bumpy road dashboard lights come on. it has done this approx.3 times.it usually starts back up but i think its a safety hazard.
