It's not a fluke. These 3.5 ecoboosts are failing all over the place. Go to any Ford service center and you will see them piled up.

Yes, a new engine, or rebuild devalues it in most cases. Also, I would not bother getting another ecoboost. These engine horror stories are...

I am sorry for your situation. People don't like me here because I am a dose of reality. The folks that bought these eco Raptor trucks try and...

What I would do is just trade the truck in. There are several low mileage gen 1 trucks that you can buy. Or, just get a 5L f150. The ecoboost has...

There is a tsb for oil consumption now. Evidently the problem is getting larger.

I think you are referring to the cam phasers. The actual cam is fine. These ecoboost engines have very poor oiling to the cam phasers and the...

This buyback process is getting all too common on these.

I have a 2012 Raptor. Had two different ecoboosts (both with problems) and unloaded them for the 6.2 Raptor.

Sadly, these ecoboost problems are same story, different day.

Definitely take your money and run. This is a blessing in disguise for you.

It actually won't be fixed in the 19... Same design. This 3.5 ecoboost has some awful design flaws and Ford is drowning in service with these. I...

Exactly. It is a complete waste of money. Stay stock.

There is no need for the catch can - it was good on the 2010-2016, but not needed on 17+. Definitely just leave it alone and not give any reason...

How do you explain the cam phaser failures, consistent misfires, and fuel issues? These were the same root failures from way back in 2010.

It is not necessary on these. Not worth the money... Put that towards the aftermarket warranty if you plan to keep after 3yr/36k miles.

It's a myth - waste of money same as the cold air intake. Just leave it stock... That way you can use your warranty that you will need.

That was an issue on 2010-2016 ecoboost. The 17+ has the dual wash which eliminated this. No need for a catch can on 17+ ecoboost.

Engine specifically. Engine problems are fairly easy to diagnose and address since they are the same issues that have appeared since 2010.

Are there any future concerns with disabling it?

It's pretty easy to address issues on these. They are the same 3.5 ecoboost problems that have plagued the platform from the get go. The...

This is actually happening often.

Cam phaser failures are high enough that Ford is having to redesign them... That tells you there is an issue there. Ford is buying trucks back at...

This launch has been plagued with engine, transmission, and now non-powertrain failures. The sunroof has always been an issue avroac f150, but the...

Surprised you would not just get your money back and buy something else.

All you did was reset the pedal travel parameters. In normal driving, adaptive learning screws up what the pedal travel is. The relearn puts it...

Surprising.

Next will be a huge erector set whale tail wing on the back, and NOS stickers all over it.

I did - that is why I continue to do it at least once a month. Look at other ecoboost boards - proven maintenance step that the masses do to...

Yes - not a very pleasant sound. It is nothing like a Ford GT. It sounds like the compact car class at the demolition derby!

Exactly

There is no difference in design for 2017+. They are all, and have been drive by wire. Doing this relearn every once in a while opens up the...

You won't get anything that tells you the relearn is complete. This is a relearn procedure that let's the pedal electronics know the full travel...

Yes, that throttle relearn is still necessary. Procedure is still the same as it was. I do this once a month on my ecoboost.

Folks are finding the aluminum pan is not a direct replacement. There is something different with the oil pickup. Still can upgrade on your own......

Rule of thumb on the FOX shocks has always been 50k miles and rebuild. There are well known rebuilders with exchange program and better pricing...

Really?? You never Google ramp 59 for your truck??? It's a rework cell for production issues.

So, here are links: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1483217-ramp-59-dearborn-truck-location.html...

You probably got one of the many dreaded Ramp 59 trucks that were taken apart and reassembled several times out in trhe holding lot.

So I wonder what Ford will do with others needing engine replacements??

Awareness - asking people to do their due diligence prior to making an important decision. The risk is not worth the reward.

MBRP has some quiet high flow exhaust system coming for these. This will be perfect for performance, yet cancels out the high pitch/tone. Hit up...

Gen 1. The 6.2 is a proven platform that has been less troublesome than the 3.5 ecoboost. If you look at it, the 3.5 ecoboost still has the same...

Price seems high on this. I was honestly thinking $52k was the fair number. Scabs have a much smaller group of buyers - thus, the lower value due...

There are some common items occurring... Oil pan leak (as we all know), engine stutter (nobody knows what that is, but a user by 03Darin is a tech...

You really won’t lose much, if any, in MPG. What you need to be aware of is that you MUST adjust the computer to your new tire size. If not, speed...

Go with the gen 1 Roush. However, their pricing on it should be around $54k. Something isn’t right with price they provided.

Agree - if they go out the back, keep them black. I am not sure what Ford was thinking with having a rear-exit exhaust though. That fad has come...

Here it is [MEDIA]

Since you are worried about sound, why not try the Flowmaster cat back? They are on sale now, plus they are a few hundred $$ cheaper!

That is concerning if this engine is still producing an oil/gas mixture. The fuel in oil was a significant gen 1 ecoboost concern.
