Seeing a lot of motors popping. I see some are saying they were stock and others saying they were tuned. So please only vote if you have lost a motor.

Also, if you would, please choose the year of the truck.

What I don't want:

If you were tuned I don't want to know who tuned it. I DO NOT want this thread to get derailed and turn into a passing match.

NOTE: The poll voters are not public, meaning we shouldn't be able to see who voted.

Thanks,

Greg

Just curious but where are you seeing all these blown ecoboost engines?

MadocHandyman

There's usually one every few weeks on here alone.
Not sure what's going on but there also seems to be a lot more 5.0 knocking issues cropping up lately as well.

Hopefully GhostintheMachine will put in his 3 votes.

I think it's a very small percent of each. Should make and interesting poll.

MadocHandyman

Yes definitely a small percentage compared to how many are out there now.

mrpositraction

I agree, small percentage for sure. But a lot seem to be happening recently over the past couple months.

Three or four bad motors out of 400,000 sold in the F150 (as of last November per Ford) sounds like a pretty good track record to me.
If .005% (one half of one percent) failed due to bad parts, incorrect assembly etc that would be 2000 engines blown since 2011. I might have read about half a dozen total since they were introduced.

Snowflake

I would think maybe a combo of bad tunes and maybe a little bad gas could be the problem lately. I put the gas part for the benefit of doubt.

I hate to burst your mathematical bubble, but I'd wager that less than 5% of owners are on this forum.
