F-150 V8

  • Automatic transmission

FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRITON 5.4 LITER V8 ENGINE, AND REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT THE ENGINE HAS A FLAW IN THE WAY IT IS BUILT.

problem #1

2004Dec 11

(reported on)

F-150

  • 113,000 miles

NOV 3,2004 I TOOK MY 2001 F-150 TO THE DEALER FOR A
TUNE-UP AND A FEW OTHER MINOR REPAIRS. I HAD 109,497
MILES. I HAD AN OIL CHANGE, COOLING SYSTEM FLUSH, AIR
FILTER CHANGE, SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT AND AN EGR
SENSOR REPLACED. ON DEC 8,2004 4,000 MILES LATER, #5
CYLINDER BLOWS, AND THE COST TO REPAIR 1 CYLINDER
($3200) VS A NEW LONG BLOCK($4500) WERE MY OPTIONS. I
CHOSE A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE OF A 3 YR/36,000 MILE
WARRANTY. HOW CAN THIS CYLINDER BLOW, ESPECIALLY AFTER
A TUNE-UP ? COULD THERE BE DEALER ERROR ?
