@Rhys Jedidiah i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Rhys Jedidiah It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!

@Jake Maxton you are welcome :D
I bought my 2011 f150 ecoboost 5 years ago with 80,000 miles on it and it now has 438,000 miles on the odometer and I can wholeheartedly say it’s been a pleasure to own. The only expensive problem I’ve had was the wire harness inside the transmission went bad at 380,000 miles and it cost me $1500. I had 1 water pump, 2 4WD shift motors and the purge valve, and the rear door wire harness broke. I think all together it’s been approximately $2500 total repairs. Not too damned bad for 340,000 miles of traveling. I grossed over $400,000 with it so it doesn’t owe me a thing. I’ll buy another when it blows up.
Are you serious???
That’s 71,600 miles per year…
@@jasonhernandez3663 yes sir, my busiest year I drove 116,000 miles in 12 months
@@jasonhernandez3663 that pickup has 465,000 on it now and still trucking
What’s your maintenance schedule and what type of oil/filter you use ? I have the exact same truck but want it to last just as long
Had a 2018 F150, 2021 F150, and 2024 Expedition. The Ecoboost 3.5 is a smooth and powerful engine. That's why I keep coming back to it. Good video!
Second 3.5 economist owner. 200k on first one. Yes had the rattle. I just kept on with it. Only thing needed to fix was a turbo waterline seal. Normal maintenance and yes I did too do full synthetic every 3-4K miles. Very strong. Very capable. Always worried but never left me stranded. Sold due to wreck. Bought 2020 3.5 eco again. More hp and more torque. Just impressive!
i had the 2013 ecoboost fx2, it couldnt pull my boat so i upgraded last year, ,2020 ford f150 Lariat 3.5 ecoboost fx4, this thing has more options than a cadillac
Thank you sir. Just bought a 2017 3.5 eco boost with 114,000 for 28,000 and I like seeing these kind of reviews
@@nextlevelbjj3083nice I just bought a 2013 3.5 Ecoboost platinum 4x4 with 118k miles for the same price 28k.
@nextlevelbjj3083 we just bought a 2019 3.5 ecoboost with 74000mi for 28000! I guess we got a bargain! The service records look pristine!
When u consider they make a million trucks a year , the six sigma quality even at 100 ppm , is still going to find a defect. It’s internal components are fantastic, 6 bolt mains , forged crank ! It’s a great engine
Dude, it seems like every question/concern that I have about these trucks, you have a video that addresses them. Well done.
Thanks for tuning in!
The dual fuel injector upgrade was the best idea ever. Great driving engine. Awesome engine for towing.
Ive got a second gen 3.5 and no complaints on my end. Love the sound of the whistle when I accelerate on the highway. That said, I still ask people, why is Ford still having problems at all when they’ve been making trucks so long? Toyota came in with the 5.7L on the Tundra and it’s like bullet-proof. We should be saying the same about all the Big Three American Trucks.
It’s quite crazy. If it’s your flagship engine, one would think it’d be able to survive the apocalypse. Pretty embarrassing for any company.
American cars are built mainly with planned obsolescence in mind, while Japanese and Korean companies are build with long term reliability and improvement
I wasn’t a fan of the ecoboost before but I’ve changed my mind within the last few years. It’s a great engine, only thing kills these engines is lack of maintenance, great video! 👍😎
To be fair, a bi-turbo on a big ass truck that will get abused sounds like a bad idea at first.
@@simpleinverso8628 just do regular maintenance
You drive a Hyundai...shut it..
@@justdone1251 my Hyundai has 950hp 👀🤔
What’s considered normal maintenance on these? I feel like a “great” engine requires little maintenance like the Toyota 4.7 or 5.7.
I have a 2014 ecoboost it has 133000 miles on it I change the oil every 3500 miles it's done great a few maintenance issues but nothing serious it pulls my 26ft travel trailer and my 3 horse gooseneck It's chipped and has a S&B cold air intake love it
175,000 on our 2016 Explorer Sport EcoBeast, still going strong!
I see that the new 2021 3.5 eco boost is rated at 400 H.P. & 500 ftlbs of torque ! Wow 😱
I know!!! And the power boost!
Quick question, do you put gas additives in your truck...such as STA-BIL 360 performance or other brands? I haven't done it myself, but i've read positive and negatives for the Eco boosts systems. Just curious?
Nope! No need in my opinion.
Would a 15-17 Ford Expedition 3.5 eco be a great daily and also reliable
This is a great engine and premium engineering... I love mine and run amsoil signature series in it. I'd rather pay a little more for oil than motor and turbos. The people that are having issues could be running cheap oil and filters as well as going 10,000 miles between changes. Ill never go over 5000 or 6000 miles regardless of recommendation. Good video man, keep it up!
I’m an Amsoil man myself and I go 10 to 12,000 mile intervals and I’m up to 441,000 miles on my 2011. It’s amazing that the engine is still as quiet as the day I bought it and no major issues to date. Amsoil is a great product for this awesome engine.
Great vids man! I like the tow mirrors on your 3.5. Makes me wish I had opted for them on my 2.7.
100% worth it! Was to towing dump trailer today with the 2.7 .. was hard to see around that spare tire!
you can add the mirrors I did bought them from ford easy to put on
@@rickschwartz2447 mirrors are worth it!
Full syn oils and good oil filter either factory purlators or amsoil. The tiny oil ports needs full syn oil for long term service
I have an 18. Just fresh out of the truck hospital. Cracked valve cover. Radiator fail. Water pump fail. Cam phasers have failed twice. Oil pan fail. Rear pinion seal fail. Trans sensor fail. Luck of the draw I guess and I had a bad dealership that didn’t care. Found a new one and he’s sounding pretty good now. 12 grand to fix it.
I had the first generation 2011 3.5 and loved it. I had an issue at about 87,000 with the plugs. Which it was relayed to me that Ford had recommended a plug change. I always used synthetic oil and considered it my forever truck. Well, my truck was murdered by a tree limb in my driveway, so I am forced to purchase a new vehicle. I tow a 22 ft center console (4100 lbs. loaded), spring summer and fall. I am thinking I will stick with the 3.5 because it has always, delivered the umph I need to get the boat on the highway. I also have to back it up my 90' inclined driveway. The truck was a bad ass!
Sorry for your loss. 😔
Was looking into getting eco boost, then heard about the 10 speed trans are the problem area, abnormally hard shift, not really showing into park and trucks rolling away
They have an update for the 10 speed trans. Basically reprograms the trans so it’s not an issue. Just like you can get a 5.0 and do a reprogram update to get rid of oil consumption. My father is a service advisor
It’s not a internet myth or even just a few people. If you have a Gen 2 3.5 you are almost guaranteed to have cam phaser failure before 100k.
The Gen 1 was hit or miss with the timing chains but Gen 2 will have the phaser failure. At least pre 2021 models. The phasers have since been redesigned. Time will tell.
Despite the similarities in Timing design the coyote is definitely the more reliable long term choice. The company I work for has had over 100 Gen 1 3.5 trucks and over 80 Gen 2 3.5 trucks. Almost all of the Gen 2s have had to get phasers. We have slowly started trading them off for 5.0s.
I was a tech at Ford for four years, and l saw more 5.0 coyote engines in for oil burning, and a lot had the heads off,most of them had new long blocks installed trying to fix the issues
I tow 7k pounds daily with my 5.0. Would the ecoboost be better as far as fuel efficiency?
Great vid
Good review. I bought my 17 Limited with 41k miles. It had the start up tick. Had Ford do the reflash and still had the noise. Changed the oil to full synthetic. Sound went away and I’m now at 45k miles. I also run premium for many reasons, better knock resistance, more retard timing which means less boost down low. Which also equals less heat. Especially when towing. Overall this is a great engine. I’m really happy with it. I plan on getting mine tuned eventually. Extra 80whp and 100+ wheel torque sounds fun to me. Even though the truck is plenty fast for being what it is. I could have gotten a F250 for what I paid for the Limited but the F150 pulls everything I need it too and it’s a lot more enjoyable to daily than a F250.
2019 Platinum 3.5L , full synthetic Mobil 1 oil with OEM Motorcraft filter. Change every 6,000 miles and while rotating tires. All is well.
I have a question, I'm looking at a 19 platinum with 30k and a 19 limited with 46k.... both with 3.5...... same price but I'm looking to ask for your opinion when it comes to the value and its reliability. I'm planning to have it till the wheels fall off.
@@chillinwithmylinc04 it all depends the options you really like. The massage seats along with the cooled/heated front seats and heated back seats are nice. Heated steering wheel is a plus in cold weather. I myself like the Platinum trim better than the limited. But the Limited is a sweet truck also. Reliability is all about the Ford name. They stand behind the product as far as warranty. I love the military grade aluminum alloy body! No rust! I plan on being buried in my Platinum.
All overhead cam engine trucks have timing chains. The new pushrod v8s with cylinder deactivation have lifter problems. All seem to have problems.
I'm in Ontario Canada..I have a 2006 f150 with 370000 km on 4.6 V8 ... great motor just gutless ..truck is rotting away around it ...thinking of upgrading so what I get from this ....stay away from 2.7 or 1st Gen 3.5 .. go second Gen witch is 2018 or newer??
The 2.7 is a good engine
I want to tow an 8000lb track loader very short distances, very seldom, just when it needs service. Is there a 3-4000 lb trailer that can handle that? That would put me at 11-12000 lbs so I wouldn't be maxing this F150 3.5 out. Or should I go with the F250? I really like the ride quality of the F150 and prefer not to bump up to the F250...thoughts?
F250 or F350 srw. A 4,000 lb trailer empty wood probably max out the tongue weight on a F-150.
I agree with most of what you said in this one. I commented on the last video challenging the idea that the 3.5 is the most reliable and I stand my that. The 3.5 is a good engine I guess but I bought mine new. It was a ordered truck. Break in oil change at 1000 miles, every 5000 or less thereafter with mobile 1 5w30, motorcraft filter, babied it until the oil temp was at operating temp, shell 93 only.. Basically it was treated as good as it could be. But at 12k miles the phasers started to go out. It was a raptor and it’s a well known issue with them. Maybe the non HO version is better?
Now I’m in a 5.0. They’ve had their issues as well. Timing chains and oil consumption are what I’ve seen owners report. I know Ford did an ecu update to address the oil consumption. Most owner feedback I’ve seen says it did fix it. We’ll see. Mine only has 300 miles so can’t say personally. No concerns yet.
My motor choice came down to having a bad taste in my mouth with my 3.5, engine sound and my perceived reliably of the 5.0 over the 3.5. I did a magnaflow muffler swap on mine today and it sounds so sweet.
Long time follower of the channel, keep up the content!
I wouldn't be surprised if there were more reliability issues with the HO 3.5 Eco 🤔
DS TRUCKS I don’t follow..
I'm wouldn't be surprised if I output 3.5 it's more problematic than the standard 3.5 liter
I Drive a 2018 ford f 150 3.5 eco-boost I have 48000 miles on it and had no problem with it
Run Penzoil platinum it's made from natural gas and is really good for turbos !
I will say this, I would stay away from first generation 3.5L. The 3 valve V-8 Triton is a disaster when engine ages. Second generation is a fine engine. I love my 2.7L and use Motorcraft syn-blend. Third oil change I did oil analysis at 6,250 miles on oil change. Analysis said I had enough TBN for an additional 3,000 miles. I change my oil at about 10% left on meter. Love the truck, LOVE the engine. The most this truck pulls is 6,000 LBS. the thing I see, and maybe I am getting older, I see these young men and women floor their truck every chance they get. Take care of engine it will take care of you! Peace
My 2.7 has motorcraft blend as well... Just told the dump trailer with it... Truck did great!
Agree 100% - any engine would die without proper service! Yes, ford offering "semi synthetic oil" use for it and do full flush - think every 3rd oil change or some like that - WTF? just use synthetic from the begin and short the oil the service under 5-6000 miles! Use OEM oil filters! Do not run it right a way when its cold - let it warm up, after heavy driving let it cool off around 5 min or at list drive last 5-10 min softly.
Proofed by: 5.7 hemi - truck went over 210000 miles, 6.0 Silverado HD over 240 000 miles, 5.7 tundra - 150 000 miles - all those truck engines were never opened up- minor knockings, no timing issues, no oil leaks, no engine lights
I drove a 2006 F150 for 15 years and the only issues I ever had were my own fault. It had the 5.4L triton.
Ford tech told me the only issues on the newer gen 3.5 is if you do lots of towing the turbos will get worn and exhaust manifolds crack
V6, V8, OHC, OHV, turbo or NA they can all have design issues especially on a new clean sheet design. The 5.7 Hemi's like to chew up camshafts left and right due to oil starvation at idle. GM's LS likes to wear cylinders early and collapsing lifters due to the cylinders shutting down for fuel mileage. Like you said though, not all of them have issues but there are those that do. Some engine designs are excellent and run forever with minimal issues. The inline 6 for example. Good video!
Thanks for watching! And thanks for a great comment!
That's why Toyota is the only option.
@@hurricane8634 toyotas are not powerful enough for most men in all honesty however the 2022 tundra is going to be turbocharged v6 with 8speed... The 5.7 is gone for good in the Toyota lineup that might change the game for them for the better because that v8 is gutless.
@@marcgreen3629 dude I have a ecoboost f150 and Toyota has more power than any half ton Chevy or dodge so you have no idea what your talking about
And faster
Have you heard of anyone having corrosion issues yet? I'm in the north and will most likley be getting an F150 next but I have a solid 4-6 months of brine and salt on the roads so rust is my main issue right now.
I'm wondering this as well, just need to keep it oil sprayed my guess
I lived in the north east and actually worked for Ford for quite a few years. I’ve seen some that had rust simply because they didn’t wash the salt or chemicals off. But I personally think these new bodies can take more abuse when it comes to that stuff compared to the older ones.
And I have a 2019 Lariat with the Max towing package. They are very nice trucks. The only issue I had was something in the electronics. It said Electronic Parking Brake Failure. Pre-Collision malfunction. BLIS failure. But they all still worked. Other than that it’s a great engine and with the super crew it’s very spacious. I really have had absolutely nothing bad to say about the truck at all.
Krown every year
Mobile One synthetic oil extended life is great
💯
If taken care of, these engines will last a long time. Always use full synthetic oil made for turbo engines, I suggest a catch can for pre 2017 f 150 and use premium gas.
I have always been an ecoboost hater from the beginning. Give me a v8 I said. I have a 2017 ecoboost with a 10 speed in my work truck. And I absolutely love it. Want to buy my own for personal use of the prices ever come down.
I got my 2018 2.7L STX supercrew used with 52K on it. I have had it about 90 days and will do an oil change next week so I can start from a known state. The oil life gauge says 47%. I'm considering full synthetic but no matter what I choose I'll change my oil every 3k and 5k miles.
smart
I swear, you seem to have a video on every question I have on trucks.
Okay here’s one. Daily driving with a 6.5 box versus a 5.5 box. Towing between the two also.
The longer wheel base does everything better except maneuver. Much more stable when towing. Better ride.
Is this the one with the water pump inside the engine ?
I don't think the f-150s are set up like that.
That is the 3.5 duratech
No. 3.5 placed front to rear have the external water pump, 3.5 placed left to right, fwd, have the internal water pump.
What’s the reliability of this ecoboost 3.5 compared to Mercedes s 350 v6 or bmw 528i F10 I need answers
I don't know. There's a lot more 3-5 EcoBoost f-150s out there. And they've been out for a really long time. Probably millions of them on the road. So there's probably better support and more technicians that can work on them.
@@DS-TRUCKS actually in my country these fords are not common thats why iam asking I have no idea how fords reliability compares to bmw and Mercedes
@@zaid9988 over here they are more reliable because those are mostly luxury cars with a lot of technology. They tend to have more issues long term. Might be a different story where you are. Those might be commonplace and have better service.
Running ams oil. 2 more MPG , the best on the market imo
I run shell rotella gas truck in my 2.7l changed every 3k. Inside of the engine still looks like the day it rolled out the factory, and that's how it should be. Never never ever go by the oil light on these trucks. 3-5k miles max! With a full synthetic
That's interesting. I hear a lot of good stuff about Shell rotella gas!
Keep hearing and seeing the 2.7 being the most reliable engine
@@SCRUBSlayerX that's cause it is 😉
Had a 2013 3.5 had rattleling noise and then the engine blew. Had 130k miles
Test drove the eco and the 5.0.i 3.5 eco definitely has power but I thought I had to put my foot in it too much to get it.too much rpm imo.i bought the safe coyote motor.too much goin on in the turbo motors.lol
Nice!
A blend is good because it has the lubricant and a cleaner in it. It all depends on what the motor runs best on. Also I never go by the recommended oil change always change it at 3500/4000.
I can dig it.
I have a 2023 Winnebago Ekko on order that comes on the Ford Transit AWD 3.5 Eco Boost. I'm sure the rig weighs in at over 10,000#. Seems like a lot of weight even though the power is there, I wonder about the longevity of the engine. I'm obsessive about maintenance on my vehicles, and would never consider going the 10,000 mile recommended oil change. My 2021 911 Carrera with twin turbo flat six, Porsche recommends the same. 5000 works for me. Expensive oil is cheap compared to the cost of new engines.
I am looking at 3.5 ecoboost is the 2017 as good as the 2018 and 2019
I think with the 3-5 EcoBoost, 2017 was the start of the 2nd gen. I still think newer is better.
@@DS-TRUCKS thanks
NO IT IS NOT. I got the 3.5 Ecoboost in a 2016. I have 67,000 miles and the ENTIRE engine is currently being replaced. I've put more than $10,000 in it since the end of the warranty. Ford is trying to blame it on "poor maintenance" but I have all the service records. Currently in a fight with them over who is going to pay the $13,000 for the new engine.
What failed?
What is the evidence that supports your assertion?
300000 on mine
@@maryannmcalpine234 wow. That's one impressive data point.
I'll share my ecoboost horror story with you. I bought my 2013 F150 4 years ago with 62,000 miles on it. A year later I installed the RXP catch can($400)(you wouldn't believe the crap that comes out of the drain on the catch can, looks like Carmel colored milk). I've always used amsoil signature series oil and filter on this truck, but I only drive it about 7,000 miles a year. This past June I stopped at our local gas station and purchased $20 of ethanol free gas. I put $8 in my brand new Ferris zero turn mower and $12 in my truck. Truck made it about 1.5 miles and shut down. It was like driving a bucking bull, low oil pressure warning came on. Had truck towed and turns out I bought nothing but water and rust. Ferris replaced gas tank for free. Labor to fix truck was $1,600 and over $1,200 in parts(6 new injectors, new fuel pump and filter, fuel lines had to be replaced and tank had to be cleaned out, oil change also). Total repair cost $3,100!!! Gas station covered bill except for $400. Now I'm getting the turbochargers checked this week due to a burning smell and loss of power. Truck only gets about 16 mpg on highway and I don't drive like a maniac. I like the truck but not sure if I'll keep it
They actually addressed this issue on the 2nd gen 3.5 The new ecos are duel injection you got 12 injectors 6 direct and 6 in intake so the ones in the intake spray fuel over intake valves keeping them clean the first gen was direct only no port injection thats why you seen that in the catch can really a catch can isn't even needed on the new gen..
Like he mentioned in this video they have these engines fine tuned with the 2nd gen .
@@marcgreen3629 just had the rt side turbocharger replaced on mine. Ford gave best price plus 2 year warranty. Total bill was $2,110. Had them to flush coolant system and replace coolant with the new gold colored coolant. Truck runs so much better and almost no turbo lag
I’ve got a 2011 f150 3.5 with 475,000 miles on it and everything on the drive train is still original. Amsoil all the way. This first generation had a bad manifold design and needs updated. It’s a $3600 repair but after that it’s just an awesome reliable vehicle. Change your spark plugs every 70,000 miles and gap them at .028. I average about 17mpg overall and if I drive 65 it jumps up to about 20mpg depending on the wind
@@stephenbloom2545 is that with a trailer?
@@bjornegan6421 no, with a trailer depending on what I’m hauling it drops to 12 to 15 mpg

Do you still have that truck and how many miles ?
@isra2421 222k now and it just started the dreaded exhaust manifold leak. Still a great truck though
My 11 eco boat went 223k i had to replace the timing chain at like 150k miles. I also had to replace both exhaust manifolds two times which was at 70k and 140k. I bought ‘15 I’m at 100k and I’ve had a lot of issues. The doors don’t seal the sunroof leaks I had to replace the timing chain at 45k miles and again at 62k. Then I had to do the exhaust manifold at 70k. Then my front diff lost its seal and blew up the front dif at 85k miles. Then my rear diff lost its seal and I caught that one in time. Also my ball joints keep going out like every 30k miles (I tow 10k pounds).
I definitely won’t be buying a eco boost again, I think I’m going to go back to Chevy even though I vowed to never buy another Chevy after my ‘10 blew up on me. Or I might pony up & get a powerstroke
Might need a super duty or HD 🤔
Get a Ram with a Cummins
Sounds like your just towing too much and you need a HD. Based of my experience, if your towing heavy, or towing often just get an HD.
They are if can afford maintenance every 5 thousand miles need change spark plugs I have 2011 has same issues ecoboost is hard on spark plugs oil too prone to water leaks and turbo cooler needs drained alot it is good truck if can afford maintenance

I spend my summers in the sand dunes, in four wheel drive 4 to 6 hours at a time, I average 22 to 24 MPG on the express way.
I have not had one problem with it! Not one!!
The original tires lasted 86,000 miles.
My buddies EcoBoost lasted 77,000 miles, chain, cam phaser and chain tensioner all failed and he never off roaded it.. he had it in the dealership 5 time's for window problems.
Now he has a 2019 F-150 and the driver's door bounces open when he go to shut it...
i bought a 2019 Chevy silverado 5.3 brand new and always changed the oil before 3,500 at 53,000 miles had lifter failure i traded it in right away Now i got an 3.5 ecoboost...The torque alone makes the driving experience that much better.
@@johnholmes9665 just wait...
I’m a Toyota loyalist. And I’m loving the F150 Tremor. With that said, I’m afraid to take a leap over to Ford from a durability/reliability standpoint. Every forum I go to says to still stay away from Ford. I don’t know who to believe.
They probably have more problems than Toyotas but Toyota does not take as many chances. Remember the people with the loudest voices get the most attention. The truck is not bad. Don't be afraid of f150.
Long time Tundra 5.7 owner here. LOVED my tundra. After many years of use in construction my transmission decided to off itself. I’ve been driving my max tow F-150 for about 18 months now. Have pulled our 32’ camper on a couple of 600 mile trips now. All I can say is just wow. We will see how she holds up long term. As for now I’m completely satisfied
People hate Ford because it's by far the most popular and they just want to be different. There's a reason F150's are not only the most sold vehicle in the country, but each state individually, and it's not even close
I traded my taco for a 2nd gen f150. Purchased certified used from ford dealer. Cam phaser replacement not even a month in. Truck only has 40k miles. I love the offerings from ford but damn my peace of mind went out the window having to do a timing job that early on! To anyone who wants to buy one seriously consider extended warranty at purchase. Somethings bound to fail whether that’s the electronics or engine that warranty will pay for itself I believe.
My 2011 f150 3.5 ecoboost has 475,000 on it and the drive train is all original. It’s been a joy to own. It comes down to knowing how to maintain them. As long as you use a very good oil and filter and change it at the proper intervals it’s a great engine. You have to use a fuel system cleaner with these also and change spark plugs every 70,000 miles. If you do that they’re very reliable.
I think the second generation of the Ford 3.5 eco-boost is a winner! You’re gonna find them around for a long time.
Ford is putting them in all the major vehicles.
It’s ok as long as you don’t mind going to the dealership every 2 months.
I want every 3.5 ecoboost owner to replace their passenger side turbo when it starts pissing oil into the intake around 61k-100k and after they get finished with that job if they even finish it to let me know how they feel about Ford.🤣
How much does changing that cost?
I have 130k on mine and a buddy has 240k on his. Both run like new so piss off

Yard Truck = A truck that sits in a junkyard, front yard, any kind of yard, and or a field for the rest of its non running life until it rusts back where it came from or gets crushed and made into dollar store soup cans.. IF Ford went out of business today 90% of all mechanics would throw a massive party.. But at the same time there would be a big loss in the automotive industry due to the fact that 70% of ALL the cars worked on every dam day ARE Fords🤣🤣. And it ain't because more people own them or anything like that. It's due to the fact that once again they are purely kindergarten/ mentally retard engineered.. Once again Ford sells the most amount of cars because most of their owners buy another one after dumping thousands of hundreds of thousands of dollars into the one right before it🤣🤣... You would think people would use their brain and not buy another one. But the majority of Ford owners don't work that way🤣. And they never listen to the mechanic on telling them don't buy a Ford they just take it upon themselves to do it anyway🤣🤪🤯🤣.. But oh well either way it's more money in my pocket.. They are just absolute trash to work on.. I've probably said this before on here when your right passenger side turbo goes out on your EcoBoost I want you to change it. When your Timing phasers go out on your three valve 5.4 I want you to change them. When your exhaust manifolds are leaking I want you to deal with a broken rusted bolts in the head and when they don't come out you replace the head. That's what I mean by every Ford owner needs to work on their vehicle on one major repair for the first time. Also an exhaust manifold is not a major repair or a turbo or the timing phasers but on a Ford it can be a massive job due to Rusty breaking off bolts and lots of other situations that normal people don't have any clue about..
@@hurricane8634Also my BEST FRIEND from childhood is a Ford lover and also a mechanic. But ask him if he works on his own vehicles or if he likes to he will tell you HELL NO!! Thats why he went to working on semis!!.. His beautiful 2000 Cobra Mustang 4.6 4v has been torn appart for the last 10 years!.. Due to the fact he don't want to go through the stress pressing the valve guides out and putting new ones in and putting it back together... His whole drive way is FULL of non running Fords!! His daily is the newest Ford of his Fleet. He's another example of a Ford owner just go buy another one😑🙄😶.. I love him to death as a friend but that lead plate is strong.. While I still own the same (other than my SS silverado and my 68 camaro SS and my 86 Monte Carlo SS) Chevrolet for the last 13 years... Biggest repair was the valve job on the head I did myself due to over 500k on the car...
The 5.0 is getting cylinder deactivation for 2021
Ugh
That move will likely end the 5.0
Turbos are fragile. ...period. New is fine. Should be avoided used.
Turbos are fragile, yet all heavy equipment, agricultural tractors, and semi trucks have them.
@@whjerts yeah, heavy duty, diesel engines. Big difference. I am a diesel mech, are you? Ever seen a million mile Turbo charger on an Ecoboost Ford?
You will never see a million miles on a ecojunk engine. Never seen one and never will.
More reliable than every 1/2 ton besides tundra
Why don't they test these engines before putting the into production?
Most unreliable truck ever 20 3.5 ecoboost it's just trash on wheels especially lariat full loaded max tow capacity sray away it's not worth the hassle
Junk.
Just like Chevy and International and Boeing
Never will I ever buy a ford ! Poor engines and warranty is terrible , but enjoy 😂
The 3.5 is not most reliable for engine the cost in repairs is not worth money or frustrations of owning one
