This thread suggests the 06 E350 was the worst ever with the cam issues
related it seems to VVT. If that is the issue then this is a scrap
price, MAYBE $500 as fixing it is an engine-out deal. I suppose I could
drop a 500 in...

Maybe I'll take a road trip up to Murder Beach tomorrow and take a
look at it, take the fancy computer and do a scan on it, see exactly
what it is throwing. I'm not sure why cam issues would cause limp
mode unless the nannies are trying to keep it from imploding

what is the main symptom that indicates the balance shaft is bad?

The car is for sale if you want to do your own diagnosis. I have no clue.
OK thanks
Is it not running well, shaking, any particular issues?

Check engine came on. Car went into a limp mode and mechanic said
balance shaft is bad and just sell the car
ah. Did he put a scanner on it to see what the code indicated?
limp mode can be caused by a lot of issues, not all particularly
severe, a scan will indicate what the particular fault is
