washedupmxer Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Maybe this one decided to suck the plug instead of jettison it through hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodtick Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Eco boost = big $ repairs. Bud just had to have a motor replaced. He just got it back and is looking to trade it off. Big time ford guy has been in many Chevy lots. It’s still under a extended warranty. He said it’s gone ,just before it expires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford tells him 8K for repairs, a new block and piston and then rebuild from the old motor. Apparently the cab has to come off. Evidently its still under warranty EXCEPT for the copper plugs(3 weeks). GOD DAMN!!!! all the Ford dealers in my parts added huge service bays just for lifting body's off f trucks for service . I was at dealer last week and 4 were off the frame . good luck doing driveway service after warrenty is out Edited February 21, 2020 by Ez ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time around I wanted the 150 only for the EB, for what I got with the Ram it was a no brainer. I’ve been in the new Fords, nothing wrong with them. The Ram aside from the engine and trans is better than the 150. I could not be more impressed with the 20 Ram, it’s amazing. Had I gone with the one ton option I was considering it would have been Ford no question, first year engine and trans held me back though. Not bashing Ford, but I had a Expedition Limited last week and really missed the Ram. The stereo alone makes the difference, not to mention how much more quiet it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
