And Ford's in-line engines don't have the problems. For example the 2.3L I-4 engines have essentially zero cam phaser failures. Only Ford's V-engines are having the epidemics. It's another fact that proves design problem. If it were production problem then the I-4's would be having failures...
This can explain why Ford keeps pushing out existing engines with the same cam phaser problems. Too lazy & too cheap to fix their existing engine designs
Another question is why do they keep designing new engines with the same cam phaser problems. The Bronco 2.7L V6 didn't exist till 2018...
Right, the shocking fact that it's now 20-YEARS Ford is having these cam-phaser epidemics in pretty much all of their V6 engines, of many different sizes & types - as confirmed by @Ducati1098 , @Tricky Mike and several others. And NOT their Inline engines like I-4 and so forth. These longterm...
1095 days - that's only 3-years ! ;)
Some people are almost 5-months longer
On the bright side your '23 Wildtrak is a BIG Upgrade from a '21 Wildtrak. And with price protection on top of HOSS 3.0 your deal will be absolutely incredible !
And no '21 defective valves to worry. Just keep an eye...
The fact your WS returned, that's gotta be good news
Blend date is body on frame so anyone with Blend near the strike date was prolly already being built to some degree before the strike, w some parts already put together. I'd be surprised if any partially assembled orders got cancelled
if...
imo these Constraints Reports are total garbage. Same silly numbers forever
? ? ? Six weeks MAP shutdown and NO changes in Constraints supply ? ? ?
? ? ? Was Webasto on strike too ? ? ?
I call bullshit ! !
Nearly 20-years of these cam phaser failures in Ford's V6's of many sizes. That's just miserable design & QA engineering. There's NO excuse for this endless bullshit ! !
Hey, what happened in 4800 BCE ?
Yes geometrically they're mirror image. Includes buckle, anchor, fastener hardware, spring, etc
Electrically they're prolly identical but went ahead got one of each
Yeah looks like some active electronics integrated circuit at end of connector wires. This is what it needs to satisfy the sensor - to stop dash warning & dash light. It could be sending some digital signal. Could be hard to spoof

Both of the Sets are SOLD
Whose Broncos are Stuck in "Strike Mountain" ?
How many months will they be held hostage ?
Yes in fact every Bronco ever sold in the world was built at MAP in Wayne, MI
( not Sport )
That's right they're both dual over-head cam (DOHC). So the 2.3L has two camshafts, and the 2.7L has four camshafts across two separate cylinder heads
In the 2.7 it must be more trouble to synchronise the two separate cylinder heads
Sorta makes sense that synchronising two camshafts in one...
Are you seeing these cam phaser failures to be widespread in the 2.7 ? Maybe in the Ford service technicians forum ?
What percentage of the engines do you think are failing ? Way less than 1% ?
Are they Bronco only ?
Or F-150 also ?
Here in B6g the 2.7 owners have been reporting these almost...
We have the same adjustable squeegee, or similar, for our Black Diamond
Hood-deflectors help a lot too. Bronco has the Aeroskin II Deflector made by BushWacker - Ford part# VM2DZ-16C900-B
Maybe they have something similar for BRaptor
Yours look great - Why change it
The Black Diamond Blue stitching is only in the Space-Grey MGV areas anyway, and very subtle. The Black MGV areas have Black stitching
It's another great thing about Black Diamond - the stitching is mostly invisible - you don't notice it unless you look for it...
