I typically assume best intentions but for some reason the information in this thread didn't feel right the first time I read it after it was first posted and still doesn't after I just went through and reread it again.
It looks like the OP posted a question in the general f150 forum 2 weeks prior asking if there were any major issues with the 2.7 and then a few weeks later created this post. Doesn't look like he's been online since either.
The last thing I want to do is attack the integrity of any post but this one makes me suspicious.
OP if you're following this thread, could you provide us an update on the outcome of the repair on the 2.7? If possible, could you share the warranty paper work? Thanks.

Love my f150
I don't believe it
You must be a troll no way all except for the 5.0 gave you issues like that! Let's see photos of you with your trucks! I have All kinds of cars and trucks of all makes and never have I had any problems like you describe.

Just curious, what is the usual day in a life of your trucks. I hope they are getting brutalized, because that's some tough odds there. Maybe all of your trucks rolled off the assembly line on friday at 4:55 pm.....and free drinks were offered at the nearby pub.
Except the 5.0L

He's not going to respond; hasn't since February. His only posts were complaints. Won't say it but the word that comes to mind starts with a "T" and ends with a "roll". This thread has run it's course.

You do realize a long block is an entire new engine, less intake & accessories that get swapped over. If you've had issues with 4 out of 5 EcoBoost, why are you still buying them. Obviously your luck doesn't work with EcoBoost. I woulda learned my lesson after the second one....I woulda chalked the first one up to bad luck, after the second one I woulda called it quits & bought a Tundra.
Like the man said above. The Long Block is the New engine. The other components just bolt on.
You blew your Engine, not your Complete Truck.
How many R.P.M.'s before an Engine Blows up. Something doesn't add up?
Good Luck
My Wife's Sister blew up her Transmission in a car. Her Foot was still on the Gas Pedal and she drives crazy and blames the Car Manufacturer.

Another troll looking for attention.
He says that pulling his 6600lb camper the steering gave him trouble. Later he says only sales people drive the trucks and they never pull anything. There are many many more discrepancies.
Where do these idiots come from?
He will not be back. He will not be posting any paperwork. He is a troll and is now gone.

The last really-reliable "run-forever" Ford F-150 engine was the 4.2L V6 OHV, but it was discontinued after the 2008 model. Once rated excellent (A) in reliability by Consumer Reports for 2008 model year, the new F-150s no longer "run-forever", and are now trapped between poor and below-average reliability scores by Consumer Reports. The number of people complaining about problems with 2.7L V6 twin-turbo (search Google) is way too high outside industry norm levels. The new Ecoboosts are also more cheaply-built too and no longer cast-iron blocks.
Imagine how terrible the reliability is when the Ford F-150 2.7L V6 turns 25 years old for $1,000 with 2 bad turbos to poor people, while Chevrolet Silverados just keep on going. Should be an interesting war...

I'm with you though, the last thing I think about before I go to bed every night is how these 2.7's are going to upset poor people in 25 years.

Used trucks continue to get more-expensive (people keep them longer), while engine lifespan has shortened. This is new trend we have to face. Ford is going to make A LOT of money selling parts while IGNORING all customer complaints on durability. It now takes 25 years for a crew-cab truck to reach $1,000 used and 98% depreciation factored in.
"OHV" is the key to success, you can see why Chevrolet Silverado continues to receive "most dependable, longest-lasting trucks on the road" awards, while Ford F-150 gets nothing (excluding 4.2L V6 OHV regular-cab).

Sure, why not. The new average-lifespan of Ecoboost turbos has been reduced to 10 years now, vs. 20 years in Windsor V8 OHV before. We'll discuss again when year 2028 is reached, and I know 2.7L reliability won't look pretty. People will be paying $18,000 used for loaded crew-cab (after inflation-adjusted), despite 10 years old. Still a lot of money. Bad turbos could be common problem, plus valvetrain issues.
