Anler Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 F150s have never been a reliable vehicle for the long term. Super dutys are pretty good work trucks however. I've never been a fan of Ford's passenger vehicles, except the mustangs and I still don't think I would ever buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted September 25, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 25, 2017 The issue has to due with the cylinders shifting during high boost, high rpm. Ford knows the problem exists and already has a fix in place in its Ecobeast motors. http://www.fordnxt.com/features/sema-coverage/sema-2015-ford-performance-uncages-the-2-3-liter-ecobeast/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
