Had a customer last night at the parts store. He wanted his check engine light read. P0172 so I printed it for him.
Got talking to him and he mentioned engine and trans had just been replaced with Jasper.
The Jasper trans failed at 6K miles. So that was replaced under warranty. Apparently the pump died?
Of course he mentions how much he hates the 5.4 3v in his truck but he paid Jasper $700 extra for a cam phaser lockout. I asked him how that worked in terms of the PCM. Apparently they send you a programmer to tune the PCM.
Overall I thought this was fascinating. Instead of just rebuilding it right with a quality Ford timing set they offer this ridiculous solution?
Any thoughts on whether this cam phaser lockout thing is as ridiculous as it sounds?
