So I just spoke to the service advisor, told me it’ll cost 14k for a new motor installed. Said that they haven’t torn down the motor yet, but they can tell that the rod/rod bearing was broken. He mentioned that timing/cam phasers would not cause this to happen and that it’s most likely due to the failure of the oil pump or bad oil in the truck.
( I only get my oil changes at the dealership )
He said he’ll get back to me with the cost for a tear down on the motor which will not be included in the $14k if I decide to replace the motor.
I do have an extended warranty on it, I wanted ford to cover it (if it’s their fault) so I can prorate the extended warranty.
I wonder if it’s worth risking having to pay for the tear down on the motor considering @FordTechOne said that most likely it would not be the cam phaser issue. & even if it was due to workmanship they probably wouldn’t even admit to it… right ?
Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it!
@FordTechOne if I a bov & intercooler installed you think a ford rep would use that as an argument on why the motor might have failed ?
@FordTechOne ford has some manual for their technician’s when it comes to replacing parts right ? I wonder if there’s a guide/ set standards when replacing the cam phasers. So that I can compare their work that’s on the receipt to the manual. If they missed replacing the bolt
Sure. Send me a DM and I'll forward the WSM procedure.Do you know where I can find a copy of that manual ? I have the repair order /receipt & it doesn't show anything about replacing the crank bolt
I would say it is unlikely that the dealer would try to pin your blown motor issue(s) on an aftermarket intercooler, and even more so unlikely that would even stick if they tried.Having the aftermarket intercooler COULD cause an issue with your warranty if they want to be *****. You just never know . . Just saying my 2 cents.
