Alot of guys who get the issue just ignore it and keep driving, it really shouldn't grenade the engine.

He didn't grenade it. When it first started making a little noise, he took it in and was told it was normal. Got louder and they did an oil system flush with no improvement, but was told it was fine now. About a month after that it sounded like it was about to fly apart at any minute. Then he was told he wasn't changing his oil often enough. The repeated visits along with a bulletin about the OLM are what are keeping him fighting since he feels its clear he didn't abuse the truck.

Yeah I've read Ford tells everyone it is normal LOL.

You can buy a kit that simply locks the cam phasers. If and when mine start making noise, I will just do the kit, but many guys have said switch from the 5w20 to Rotella 5w40. I'll probably run the Ford Motorcraft Synblend 5w30 and filter.
