So far so good. New motor has more pep and gets better Mpg. It’s now been in the truck over a year.

Mine started out of the blue one day. Coincidentally when I remote started it .

Interesting development here. Thanks for the leg work on the bronco forum research and the superceding part numbers. Were the parts available for your fix? How long is the wait?

During the course of my time with the truck in the shop. I spoke to numerous service department, and they all mentioned the 3.5 having cam phaser concerns, but the 2.7 they mentioned was generally not impacted. That gave me a little consolation, considering my truck was in the shop for cam...

Well, my replacement engine has been in for roughly a year, and about 8000 miles and has been fine. It’s kind of alarming to see the bulletins indicating this may be a common issue.

Wow, this is troubling to hear. I would definitely call Ford customer service and get the ball rolling with them. I would definitely push for an engine replacement at this point. You have been patient with them but need a reliable vehicle .

It has been fine since picking it up. I did get the oil changed after 1k miles even though most said it was unnecessary. The peace of mind was worth it. Gas mileage also seemed to tip up with the fresh engine. Granted it could also be various other reasons. But overall happy with how ford...

Well thanks for the post to remind me, picked up the truck Friday with a fresh engine. Engine arrived and was replaced in 8 days time. From what I can tell so far things are operating as normal. Hopefully it stays that way . Should have the final invoice once all the warranty paper work resolved...

Dealer gave up on getting gasket kits to do cam phasers, ford approved a long block replacement finally. So that’s ordered, no telling when it will show up, allegedly it’s a week out . Then another 7-10 days once it arrives to get it all completed. Today is day 47 without it. Got a “free”...

And wow AnthemMike, I sure hope I don’t need to go lemon law or litigation to get this fully resolved. Dealer has been great thus far. Yours sounds like a nightmare

Well dealer called, still no parts available. And no eta after further in-depth parts search. They are now talking with ford about a long block /engine assy as an option as they allegedly are more readily available. hoping for a decision from Ford in the next week or so

Quite an active thread I created. Truck has been at the dealer since June 28. Diagnosed as needing cam phasers, no parts available, no expected release date. FMC customer support has been nice but said they have customer waiting since feb/march for cam phaser parts. Hoping they will start...

I ordered this 22 Supercrew Lariat on January 4th and received it April 9th. Absolutely LOVE it. have put roughly 1500 miles on it and suddenly noticed this one evening when I started it remotely and could hear it start up from 30 yards away. Now it’s all I hear when I start it . obviously...
