2 weeks ago a friend of mine busted is trans. oil pump on is Eco-boost . When he got to the dealer another e-b was sitting there with the same problem . The dealer told him it was the third truck with the same problem and the part was back order he also told him that Ford had a service bulletin for the oil pump problem . Anyone heard of this ?

I just got a new 2011 F150 5.0ltr. I only have 1100 miles on my engine and it blew on my truck. By the time a buddy noticed a drip spot in his driveway, I had lost almost 3 litres. Dealership filled it up and let me drive it home for the night. I'm hoping to have a new part by Monday but who knows. Now I am driving a crappy Escape Demo until they figure it out, but I need a truck again by Tues to move my tools from site to site. I'm wondering how much damage I have done to my transmission and wether or not I should demand a new be put in so I don't have any more problems. Wish I had heard about this before hand. Anyone reading this post have any idea if I may have damaged my transmission?

I bought an 2011 FX4 F150 Ecoboost last month and after 5038km I find myself without it due due a burnt tranny caused by a faulty pump. I noticed smoke coming from behind my vehicle so I pulled over to inspect and noticed tons of transmission fluid on the ground with a great long line of fluid behind it on the highway from where I pulled in. The light only came on as I was pulling over...ever late. I was stuck 2000km from home for 6 days with no help from Ford has Ford care could not find a rental for me so I went to UHaul forked out 2k and got a truck so I could get out of there and go to work. I find myself a week and a half later with still no help from Ford Care. This is a purchase I wish I would have never done. I am thinking going viral with a detailed story of my situation. There has been such a lack of help from my dealership and Ford Care that I can't sit and do nothing anymore. Now they expect I'm going to drive back 4000km to recover it (2000 there + 2000km back)....I don't think so. I've fork out enough money so far.

Yeah there is a tsb for the front pump. They got a bad batch of front pumps. There are several threads about it.

Terroraz. Feel sorry for ya man. Hopefully they do the right thing and bring your truck to you!

I got the new Ecoboost and had if for a total of 37 Hours and 61 miles when the pump blew on mine. Had to get towed and that was back on July 12th. over 3 weeks now and still not fixed. Sad day watching my new truck get loaded onto a tow truck on my second day or ownership.

Anyone have a copy of the TSB on this?

How can I verify my build date and what are the affected trucks and dates?

I took delivery April 6th, the same day it arrived on the truck so it must have been built in late march.

Sounds like the problem will be noticable early in the life of the vehicle. Has anyone noticed any issues before the pump went?

Mine leaked tranny fluid at the bellhousing on day one.Just keep an eye out for leaks.Good luck.
