See the 3.5 thread above. Ford has ****ted on its most loyal customer base, truck buyers. It’s their leading product in sales and most profitable. Now they’ve screwed themselves because nobody experiencing these failures or those of us who know about them will buy another truck from Ford.

Ill look at the conventional pushrod engine engine from Dodge. The Hemi is not known for all these failures VCT, oblong cylinder distortion in the 5.0, etc.

toyota is also reliable. Shoot I’ll even look at the damn Chevys before I consider a Ford.

Yeah just like your interjection that adds no substance either. Got it.

I know you are but what am I?

Exactly the thought process I’d expect from you.

Everyone here knows you’re glad you bought a 2017 with the 6 speed cuz steel liners and yada yada. You mention it in every 2018 5.0 thread. We get it. Going to forget you exist for now until you pop into the next 2018 thread to tell the disgruntled 2018 owners how glad you are you bought a 2017. Seeya then.

The VCT issues include 2017 5.0’s. Sleeving the cylinders was a cheap fix by Ford. The correct approach would have been to solve the problems w cylinder wall distortion, not putting liners inside bad cylinder design.

**** will happen.

On the contrary. My post was in reply to the question in the thread. I am not "crying the blues" because as I mentioned, I opted for a '17.

Now do you want to add any "substance" and answer the OP's question too, or do you just want keep complaining about posts you don't like?

Also, I have not mentioned it in every 2018 5.0 thread. That is a flat-out lie.

As usual, the fanboy snowflakes have come in...the threads a trainwreck...

LOL

Funny how they complain about other people's posts, while they have exactly squat to add to the topic themselves.
