I would not buy... Ford still has not solved the cam phaser problem, and oil consumption also becoming an issue.

This is NOT normal. Your engine has an issue if it consumes that much. Ford acknowledged oil consumption and issued a TSB... That fix has not been...

You most definitely have a plastic pan. You accept 2qts of oil burning off? I have never owned a vehicle that consumed oil... Unless it had a...

Here is proof - surprised you guys can't find this stuff... https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/cam-phaser-engine-failure-poll.68228/...

Sorry, but do your research. 19s are failing as well. There is also a TSB now related to it and may actually turn into a recall.

You do realize that forum is more active than this one, right? The gen 2 area has many problem reports of cam phasers. Research for yourself -...

You have not seen the poll on the Ford raptor forum? It's at 25% failure reporting for cam phasers. I am surprised this is acceptable to any of...

Yes, oil consumption is an issue on these ecoboost engines. Ford has issued a notice detailing oil consumption and what to do. Ford is replacing...

Research before you buy. The ecoboost is a heavy failure with nagging cam phaser issues. It is not worth the frustration. Failure rate is 25%

Looks like the cam phaser failure poll is at 25% failure for this engine. That failure rate is unacceptable.

It is... But the valve cover replacement is still not fixing the oil consumption issues.

The cam phaser failure (cold start rattle) is a huge issue for this 3.5 ecoboost.

Cam phaser failure. I think this in the future of every ecoboost owner.

I have had several 3.5 ecoboost, plus raptors. The ecoboost cam phaser issue is an epidemic plaguing all years and versions. Have you seen the...

Your issue sounds like one of following. Bad shock. Loose shock. Or loose control arm. Check front tires... Are they showing weird wear pattern?...

Take another look. Magnuson Moss act is ONLY related to protecting the consumer from a manufacturer denied warranty due to aftermarket parts....

Doubt it. Nobody wants the ecoboost after they do their research. Why spend hard-earned money on something that risky?

Notice the chart only goes to 2017? No talk of the spike upward post 2017??

V8 is gone (for now) but not forgotten. With the plethora of common ecoboost issues that are driving warranty costs up and profits down, Ford has...

Get the screw... Only way you can get the desperately needed 36 gallon tank.

I would recommend a Dodge truck for now. Or, get a leftover 19 f250/350 diesel.

The law pertains to your rights if a manufacturer tries denying warranty due to aftermarket parts. I bet you are in for cam phaser work. Best...

I think buyers have researched it enough to understand that the current engine is not a good thing - reliability, longevity, etc. The market is...

Do the demo - they broke it in, full warranty, and you get sales tax savings since they still call it new. However, don't buy unless it is at...

It's more than that... It is DESIGN problems.

It will most likely come back... No new updated parts from Ford to fix this issue.

Yes, failed cam phasers. This 2nd gen ecoboost STILL has this same issue. Instead of fixing ($5k), sell it off and get something else. That will...

Yes, Ford is bringing back the V8 for the raptor.

The reliability issues of the ecoboost are very apparent right now. Plus, with the V8 coming back, nobody is willing to buy an ecoboost right now.

Whew - $110k and not the V8 conversion.

It is *supposed* too fix the issue. Too early to tell. Ford really has a. Engine design problem. All engines they make now are really having issues.

I actually have both and the Tahoe is vastly easier for this. I love the Tahoe - 6.2 is quick, 10spd shifts better than the Ford for some reason,...

The Tahoe is your absolute best bet. Word of warning though.... Only get the 6.2 in it. This is available on certain RST models.

Is the V8 conversion truck that they do?

I agree with your point. However, the 3.5 ecoboost reliability is plain awful. The unacceptable inherent design flaws are what is pushing the need...

You may want to hang on to it. Seems like everyone that went aftermarket exhaust eventually returned back to stock.

I think many of us just want a raptor with a reliable engine. This 3.5 has some definite problems.

Do you really think there is no issue with the consistent cam phaser failures? So much, Ford has redesigned parts several times, modified the...

I think the benefit is that the consumer now doesn't have to worry about the 3.5 ecoboost design problems. I am not saying the 5.2 SC is without...

It is not my product to sell. But, it is a solution that Ford wasn't able to figure out. You are dillusional if you think there is no problem with...

Correct - this cam phaser problem roots all the way back to 2011. You can see the million attempts that Ford made to fix it. They tried part...

That is not the issue. You do realize the inherent design issues of the ecoboost that cause it to have a huge failure rate and high rate of buyer...

Positive information is that someone is developing a fix for these. Sadly, it's not Ford. The group designing the fix said there is an inherent...

FYI - There is an aftermarket company that has taken on this cam phaser failure issue. They have detailed why these WILL fail on all 3.5 ecoboost...

It is nice that there will now be a new engine available for this. It will open up quite a bit of demand now.

This is what you need... More power, no drone, turbo spool, and no fart sounds. [MEDIA]

It is time for a new engine.

The other benefit is that it helps stop most of the oil buildup inside the intercooler.
