It was an early build truck. I can't remember the date. I know Ford has some oiling issues with these early build 2.7 engines. They replaced the ECU at the same time they replaced the engine. A Ford tech friend of mine said if they are going to fail, it's usually before 20K miles. After that you're in the clear. He's seen 3 so far at his dealership. Tow truck driver that towed me said he had just towed one in the week before for the same issue. Ford has been good about warrantying them.

Glad it all worked out for you in the end!

Not saying any of the previous posters had tuned their vehicles but it seems like one might have more problems with their vehicles when they change the parameters of the engines design.
I know with motorcycles the more one mods the engine ie: cams etc. the reliability of the motors degrade.
