How many miles are on your truck?
A long block install book times at 24.0hrs of labor. Being so new I'm not sure what the protocol is. A new, re manufactured, or send yours out for a rebuild. 3 weeks suggests that there aren't any engines out there and that they are going to build yours. Regardless, I'm glad you're being taken care of.

I just came out of a Ram that was nothing but a nightmare that ended with a small settlement from a lawsuit and left me with a truck that broke down 2 weeks later and put me in a small bind. I ended up having to take a $8k hit and traded it in non running condition on the F-150. Because of the negative equity, that is why I opted for the lease so that I can start fresh in 3 years. In all honesty, I am just thrilled that Ford is stepping up and taking care of the issue from the first visit and that they gave me a loaner vehicle while I am out of mine. 20+ visits with the Ram and some where they kept my old truck for 3+ days but I was told each and every time "we don't have any loaner vehicles for you".
Oh well, like I said, at least Ford isn't giving me the run around. My service visit was fast, painless, and I didn't have to talk them into doing the engine swap or giving me the loaner car. They came out and said they have some bad news. The engine is being ordered as we speak and to come on back to get set up in the loaner.

Only 5000 miles, ouch. The good news is that I would hope that the problem will be solved and both you and the future owners of this truck won't have to worry about it. Hopefully. Also is an indicator that for the rest of us within the same engine years after, say 60k when the warranty is up, should be in the clear. Again, hopefully.
Sorry to read youve had such bad luck with your trucks! In your case I'd say a great idea to lease!

Alright I just got a call from my dealership. The new engine has arrived sooner than expected and they plan on tearing my truck apart tomorrow. If all goes well, I should have it back the beginning of next week.

This is why I didn't get the 2.7 EB even though it really was the perfect engine for my needs. An all new engine needs time to work the bugs out.
When Ford put the first 3.5 EB in the 2011 it wasn't an all new engine. Neither was the 5.0. They both had a basic architecture that had been around for years. The NA 3.5 introduced in 2006 was originally designed for forced induction. That engine was on the road for 3 years before the turbos were added and put in the Taurus SHO in 2009. Then finally in the F-150 in 2011. And the 5.0 is the current version of the modular V8 that dates back to the early nineties. It's grandfather is the Intek DOHC 4.6 V8 that debuted in the Mark 8.

I have 33k on mine and the oil level hasn't budged. Looks like I got lucky! I'll have to decide before my 75k PremiumCare warranty runs out if I'll hang on to her or just replace.

Ford is doing right by you, according to warranty. And if that Escape is a loaner, they went beyond. I pity the guys who were the first guinea pigs back around the end of last year. They got run around, put thru "tests", stop gap measures, etc. Now FORD is pretty much just replacing the engine with a completely new one every-time. My engine took about 10 days to arrive, but then it took over 2 weeks for them to do the work because the "enginemiester" was tied up on another one. And that guy had the loaner, so the 1st week of rental was on me.
