This issue is a large and looming potential deal killer for me and I would like some kind of assurance before purchase that I would not end up with a truck that could be effected by this.
So you read the post by tms and you respond to it and you can not figure the answers out for yourself?

To me it reads, 20 engines have the cam shaft problem, some of the 20 truck are being used by tms and were not sold to the public. They have corrected the problem as it appeared very early in production.

If your still confused or concerned, then perhaps you should either go with the 4.7 engine or move on to another truck.
