The Demise of the 2.7

My son the lawyer did not at any time make a suggestion that I sue Ford. Ford has some liability in this issue by not standing by it’s promise of customer service by not providing the tow which is in the warranty agreement. The tow was expensive because the tow company did not have a car-hauler tow truck, but a regular hook tow where they had to add wheels to the rear drive wheels in order for it to be towed. As far as blowing up is concerned, “blowing up” is a cover-it-all term that I used. The truck was un-drivable because the motor was frozen after I stopped. I asked the dealership to send me a report of the engine after Ford had a chance to review the damage. The service rep told me that even they do not get a report.
For you to question their diagnosis is pretty funny since they did not disassemble the original engine. Ford automatically authorized a short block, which as I said in the post, was the reason why the assembly of the final product was a disaster. If you want to see how complex a top end is to assemble, take a look at the YouTube series Fordtechmakuloco.

This “forum” is a good reason why I don’t make comments very often concerning Ford products. This is not the first time that I have made comments on this forum that have gone negative. While I admit the original post is long–it was long for a reason–to completely tell the story of the demise of the engine so that there is no questions of what went wrong. For an example: Did you change your oil? I thought making comments on this forum offered an opportunity for F150 members to tell their story of their vehicles. I love it when members start to make comments about “misspelling of words” instead of overlooking that idiom and reading the post. This points out a singular weakness in forums, most have become critical vehicles for digging at authors writing abilities. Never again will I make a post on this forum.

The dealership screwed you, not Ford.
A well structured paragraph makes reading that much easier. It's not to gig you on anything

Do you need a binkie and a bottle? want someone to rub your bum to help you go ni-night?
But in all seriousness would you sue McDonalds corporate for getting food poisoning from one of there chicken nuggets or the local restaurant that made it for you?

No, it's not considered a problematic engine. In fact, it's highly thought of. Of course, since it's only a few years old, it has met the test of time yet.

ahh let the man vent i think it would **** any of us off and you gotta blow steam in the end he bought another ford and hopefully better luck with this one ,so your telling him the nearest ford dealer to where it blew up is who is responsible for not showing up for the tow in which he waited hours for i would think if nothing else ford should pay for the original tow then the rest is don's but i could be wrong
