I say drove a 2011 FX2 Ecoboost....I travel alot and have around 114,000km 0r 70,851 miles and the motor threw the #2 rod. All the mileage is on the hiway and I drive the speed limit. Truck was serviced every 3,000 miles with hi grade synthetic oil for turbo engines. The motor blew when I was on holidays where I was driving at 61 MPH on cruise for the past 3.5 hrs. Ford will not help as its off warranty. So I warn all you Ecoboost people that you should take the extended warranty or sell the truck before warranty is up........These motors should be good for 320+ miles this one failed in less than a quarter of that...Connecting rod falure is normaly related to a casting problem!

First post = smells

Fyi rods are forged not cast= Fail
Ip check please

 

Only 320 miles? I put that on my truck the first day.

 

If you wanna part out your truck, I'm down to buy your 20" wheels

 

Ya. Not buying it. And even if it is true, Ill play the odds. They are WAY in my favor.

 

I am going to call until I see some pics.

Sounds like a pissed off Hemi or I-Force engine owner that just wants to create a story so he can link it in a post in his forum of how crappy Ford is just because he got smoked by one tonight.

 

I love the flag pole

 

Chevy, Dodge, or Toyota troll that thinks they have come up with a witty nickname for the Ecoboost

 

At least he didn't do like the 5.0 crowd and blame it on the turbos...
