has anyone else had/heard of bad injectors in the 05-06 range? I have an 06 and 3 injectors randomly went bad. When they did, it ruined 4 plugs and a cat. does anyone know of extended warranties for injectors on the 06s?

Now my CEL is on because of a bad cat, and a dealership told me that the cats were on back order for possibly the next month? anyone else heard of this. it was pretty shocking to me

I know Ford extended the warranty on some of the 5.4L motors due to bad injectors, not sure of the year range.

Pretty sure its the 2004-2005's, not the 2006s if i remember correctly.

Mr.Bones

Run it down to the Ford Dealer, they can run the vin to tell you if it was one under recall. My brothers truck was a 06 with a 5.4 with bad injectors right about 50k. His was coverd under recall.

well maybe mine will be then too. i already got the injectors fixed since i was on a road trip and didnt have a choice. it might be too much to think that ford will reimburse me though.. however my cat still has a large amount of fuel in it, im guessing haha.

did they replace all of the injectors, or just a couple ^..im thinking about replacing the other 5, and 4 plugs as well, when i get home

Mr.Bones

He had all eight replaced, I'm not sure about the cats tho. He lives in a county that does not require emissions testing and he took them off and ran straight pipes. I know on a few 06 the COP would go out after a few years. They are a pain in the butt that's fore sure.

yeah i was thinking that if the cats arent covered by an extended warranty i was just going to cut them out. i dont have emissions either. did he weld it himself?

They are EPA extended warranty. Usually 5/100

ol_blue

i think actually our cats are 8/80. but i also was told that if ford found out that the injectors caused the cat to fail, they wouldnt pay for it. so we will see i guess haha

Buddy of mine I belive his is a 06 I may be wrong but 5.4l I think was under 30k miles lost injectors and all 4 cats ford replaced it all.
