If they charge over 2 hours labor-it is too much
It should take just about anyone about an hour maximum to do this repair.
It could be stretched to 2 hours, if you have some beers though--

That's the noise!!!
Your vid was most helpful!!! That's the exact noise that was coming from my 96 4.0 v6. This noise occurred on the first startup of the day, everyday for two months, and then just stopped. I had it to Ford; they told me it was the camshaft positioning sensor, but wanted $1000.00 to replace it (said the intake manifold has to come off to get to it).
My question is this: Should I have the repair done now, or wait, since the noise has gone away for now? Ford told me I will soon be on foot.

I've got the V6, 4.0, push rod engine. I believe I only have the one CPS at the rear of the block. I'm unable to see it, it's so tucked away.

The noise in your vid appeared to come from the drive shaft portion of the CPS assembly, not the top electric portion.... correct?
