How Ford Treats the Coyote.

I came from Volkswagen land before this. I was completely smitten to get back to a regular V8 engine. I was running from turbochargers, egr/direct injection/high pressure fuel pump issues. The whole way vehicles are being sold now just turns me off. Every 5 years they expect you to buy another one. I'm just not that kind of car owner. I don't want to own an ecoboost that needs wastegate control valves, timing chains, and a valve cleaning at 105k miles, so might as well trade it in...
Maybe the 5.0 isn't the greatest engine suited to a truck, but in the 3 weeks I've owned mine, it's more than impressed me. I'm excited to do some towing with it and see how the 3.55 rear end works with the rest of the driveline.

Don't purchase a Honda, Timing Belt over 100?,000 miles
You can still purchase V-8's in F150's if you want one. May be an older F150. They are still out there.
Look on Used Car Lots.

Turbo's use extra exhaust gas, Super Chargers are Gear driven.
If I'm wrong someone will let you know.

Super Chargers are usually belt driven.

My problem with the EB engines is that turbo chargers (and superchargers) add extra heat to the engine. That will tap the longevity over time. I've had my '13 F150 XLT with the 5.0 for only six months. It seems to do well with the 5000lb boat. I've always believed the axiom "There's no replacement for displacement" when it come to low end grunt. Pulling a 5000# boat up a 15 degree ramp from a dead stop requires low end grunt!

Very happy with my 2010 supercrew 4.6 v8 and I love the 20.5 mpg avg I get on the highway. Sweet spot at 68 miles/hour. at about 83,000 miles. I did have to have the oil solenoids replaced at about 60k. The only other problem I have had is the vacuum 4wd system. I had to have three front hubs replaced because of water in the system, Ford finally agreed with me and replaced the solenoid and hose. Kind of scary having one hub engage at 70 miles an hour and grind like hell. Ford payed for all my repairs.

I am not too happy with my 2011 Coyote right now. It is at the dealer right now to see why it has burned nearly 2 qts of oil in the last 200 miles.
I am fearful that with 95k miles on it, it has a broke ring or some other catastrophic failure.
I searched the forum and all I could find is some 5.0's using a little oil between oil changes, mostly in the first 30k.
As of recently, if my truck sits idling for 5 minutes it will start smoking and rolls a cloud of blue smoke when you step on it after a long idle....

Well local fraud dealer says $8200 for a new engine, the engine in my truck has "Internal Damage". Tech said he thought it was maybe a bad oil ring but not sure. He thought the compression was fine, but when I asked him if any plugs were oil foiled he said he didn't know.........
So $95 for them to drive it down the road and tell me it still has plenty of power but it is burning too much oil.......... No SH** Sherlock !!
Really FORD !?!?!?!?!
