We've got a 5.4l with the infamous cam phasers. I replaced them along with a cam, chain and peripheral parts about 50k miles ago. All Ford parts. They are starting to get loud again. So, I'm thinking about putting a cam phaser lockout kit in it. It looks like the kit is about $20 to do the lockout and then about $400-500 for the SCT x4 tuner and tune to delete it, the bulk of that cost being the SCT x4, or similar. I found a couple shops online that you can ship the ECM to for a delete, but with shipping etc, the car would be down better than a week.
So, is there a local tuning shop that could do the cam phaser delete on the ECM? Or, alternatively, is there any value in the SCT x4, where I could use it and then sell it afterword? Once it loads the tune to the ECM I don't need it anymore, correct?
