Omg Engine disintegration

Something else crossed my mind – can I MAKE the dealer show me the part that failed (like a turbo)?

YES YOU CAN! You OWN the parts that they remove and replace. You can ask that the dealer provide you with every part that they removed and replaced, and they are obligated to do it.

Ford wants any warrantied part sent to them. 18 is looking like a better idea every day , so is the idea of that 7.0 motor

Correct about showing him the parts. But if he wants to keep the parts he may have to pay for the repair. Some items have a core charge and some must be returned to Ford. If the parts get called back and the dealer doesn't return them Ford doesn't pay us for the warranty claim.

WRONG...I work in the Automotive industry and if the dealer wants to get reimbursed for the repairs they have to provide failed warranty parts so the OEM/Suppliers can do a post portem analysis to see why they failed. We used to do studies on warranty returned parts all the times.

No changes coming in power train or drivetrain on the 18my. 7.0 motor is never happening in the P552 platform in raptor.

Thanks for setting me straight, guys.
What I said is true for paid repairs.
Evidently not true for warranty repairs.
Thanks again!

Im thinking 18 cuz maybe by then they will have fixed all the problems. Re the 7.0... im going just keep hoping....

Any update?

I had a thought on this issue... I have to wonder if a catalytic converter broke up (internally). I have seen that happen before, with similar symptoms... idle is smooth (enough air can pass through the busted cat to allow for that), and it seems normal when revved. Put it under load, however, and it's a different story.

It also sounds like you dropped a bunch of lug nuts in a clothes dryer as the chunks of the cat rattle around inside the housing...

Anyhoo, here's to hoping for a quick fix for the OP...

Very true a bad Cat (broken substrate), the vehicle will run bad, but a CEL will come on

Agreed; I think that the OP mentioned that that was one of the symptoms (an illuminated CEL).
