I purchased a 2005 **** ***** from Tincher ******** in London, KY on Jan 31, 2022 from a salesman named **** ********* I paid cash for the vehicle and drove it home, after the second time driving the truck I changed the oil so that I would know when it was changed and could keep it changed regularly. When i changed the oil to **** specs for that truck and started it up again I could here a chatter in the motor that was not there before. I spoke to several different people about this and they said that these trucks had a common problem with the timing system that causes the cam phasers to go out on one side. What it boils down to is I have to have the timing system redone. Timing chains, timing chain tensioners, cam phasers, chain guides, and possibly the roller followers for the valves will all have to be replaced and this all happened within a couple weeks of purchasing the vehicle. I called Tincher ******** on Feb 23, 2022 I believe and spoke with the salesman that I purchased the vechile from and he pretty much told me that I was out of luck because I didn't pruchase a warranty for the vehicle. I told him that KY had a lemon law that protects people from this type of thing and he said that was only if it was a new vehicle and because the one I purchased was almost 18 years old no place of business would cover a vehicle of that age and with over 100,000 miles on it. I told him that was a *** way to do someone that is looking to have to pay out almost $2,000 or more for parts and labor to get this fixed. Also I might add, when the oil was changed it was over filled. This was done, in my opinion, and several others to hide the chatter from the motor. Whether Tincher did this or not I cannot say or prove, but I will say someone added either more oil or a ***** treatment to this truck to quieten the noise. I'm just trying to get my truck fixed so that I can use it. It has been parked for the last couple weeks because no service company can get me in right now.
