04 DII Major Repair Done and Now What?

[Bwestone]

So i just had the cam shaft replaced on my 04 with 77K. Got All the parts from Will Tillery (Genuine Parts) so its not a matter of quality. The cam shaft had a few worn lobes and a lifter was spidered a bit. So here is what all was replaced:

Cam
Lifters
Timing chain
Cams gear and sprocket
Water Pump
Spark Plugs (champion)
Wires (STI)
All gaskets required
Thermostat

After it is all said and done I drove it for the first trip today and at about 35mph-50mph it sputters and almost seems to chug a bit. This is at steady throttle. It never did this before and now im just trying to cover my bases before i take it back to the mechanic on monday.

Bet your mechanic just loves you showing up with a bag of parts for him to install. Good luck with this one. Take it back to your mechanic you didn't do the work so posting about it is pointless.

x2.
there are dozens of reason why your truck is acting up. if the shop, you had the work done at, is a rover or euro shop that also wrenches rovers they should be able to figure it out, they would have called you and told you something wash't right that you supplied, they would have taken it on at least 3 complete drive cycles and found an issue. i can fix anything german, take it on one drive cycle, and never worry about it coming back, BUT not one rover is delivered until there is at least 3 complete drive cycles, which is to say a major repair means the truck doesn't leave for at least 2 days after the repair has been made.

let them try to figure out what is wrong, then post what happened and what they found. otherwise you are going to have people posting sending you down many wrong roads costing you time and possibly money.

You probably needed a valve job and that is what caused the wear to the original cam/lifters in the first place.
