You can buy a complete takeout motor from car-part.com for $3 to $4K with turbos. Part out your good parts on your motor, turbos, heads etc and you can be into another motor for $2K or less. You can also buy a new shortblock from Ford for $2K online...

Just out of curiosity, I priced out a rebuilt 3.5 ecoboost engine for a 2011 F150-

Quote#:2736449

Vehicle:2011 Ford F150Part Details:Engine - 3.5L (turbo) (VIN T, 8th digit)Price$4,595.00 (Grade A Used Part) 3 Year parts & labor warranty included Shipping:Free Shipping in U.S. 48 states - all except HI & AK

Seems like your dealer is quoting you 3 times the price

Such a stupid move on a less then 1% failure rate when the other motors offered have the same rate of failure. Then again if you bail that easy you will not be happy with any motor ever produced. Lame

You stop to think about the 200k ecos out there with NO issues?

Or how about mine that is modded to the hilt that I beat like a red headed stepchild making 200lbft more tq then stock with not one issue. If you jump ship because a total of 4 motors have thrown a rod likely from ingesting water. Just does not seem smart to me
