I'll be interested in hearing what the dealer contributes the blow out too. Since a similar combo was on my radar for a future purchase. Like the other post, at least it is under warranty.

Yes, I am glad it is covered by the factory warranty. It definitely concerns me, however nothing coming up on the internet to indicate it is in any way common. I will be paranoid for some time to be sure though.

So, I finally got my truck back yesterday. The root cause of the issue was a spun rod bearing. The dealer said they have never seen this happen. They ended up replacing it with a short block.
I hope this was really just a fluke and that there are no further issues related to the engine in this truck.

I had never considered that before, but they DO sound like sewing machines when the phasers go, haha.

Just lost my motor in my 2016 2.7 Ecoboost 4X4 crew. 16,000 miles. Truck has been flawless until yesterday. Noticed a slight ticking sound when I started it. I checked my oil and all was fine. Sounded like it was coming from the left cylinder head. Made it 1/2 hour cruising at 75 mph on the highway before it began making loud sounds and running rough. Pulled it off the highway and stopped in a parking lot. No engine lights or warnings....oil pressure and coolant temps were normal. Shut it off because the sounds coming from the engine were so loud I knew it was about to Chernobyl. Called Ford Roadside assistance and they had it towed to my dealer. I'll post what my dealer discovers once he informs me.
