I've run 91 since new. Some high altitudes. Up and over several mountain passes on the regular.

I live in a small town with 3 street lights and do the long drive to and from work so basically all highway driving.

I don't think anyone at all can blame you for being pissed off! Anyone would of came unglued after two engines lowing up, and lack of respect as to warranty covering this or not! Hope they do you better than they have with the other two motors!

In all honesty I'm done with this truck. I'm also pretty sure I'm done with Eco's for now.

Ill be finding some kind of 6.2L. A good pal of mine has a roush raptor and its been rock solid reliable. I hear the rebates on 6.2L F150's are huge right now.

If ford won't warrant this truck I won't be paying for it. It's simple.

There's a common denominator here...

91 + altitude + turbos that try to spike on the throttle "hit" = bad news.

This is the exact reason I've been staying out of the throttle til Shaun is done testing, too much boost spikes and lean conditions stock (let alone with a tune).

Common denominator?

So flooring an Eco will break it?

Not always but I recall hearing talk of like 18ish psi stock and 22-24psi tuned boost spikes

I'd have to double check my numbers but when I heard that I was a little worried, if people are adding in timing on top of that... not surprised. I believe the stock timing isn't too bad, but again, add altitude, lower octane, higher load (up hills) and some other stuff and it could be a perfect storm.
