The 2007 Ford F-150 comes equipped with a timing chain as stated by the manufacturer. While the owner's manual suggests that the timing chain should last the lifetime of the vehicle, issues can still occur. Some problems may be related to normal wear and tear or a faulty timing chain tensioner. If these issues arise, the timing chain could become stretched or distorted, resulting in rough running, hesitation, or even stalling of the vehicle. A distinct slapping noise may also be heard when starting the engine cold. In some cases, a malfunctioning timing chain tensioner can cause the chain to become loose enough to dislodge. Repairing the timing chain can be quite costly due to the extensive labor involved, with an estimated total cost ranging from $1000 to $1200, inclusive of parts and labor.
