Yes, failures have been alarmingly regular in the ecoboost. This is why I went 6.2... happy with my slow dinosaur that runs like a champ with no "normal" problems.

I've relayed my experience before. In a nutshell, 2015 F-150 with the 3.5EB threw a rod, hole in block, Ford replaced the engine. It was tuned, but my dealer put it through warranty anyway.
My brother is still driving the exact same model of truck and has never had any issues. His is also tuned and has more miles on it than mine did when it blew.
I don't say this to bash Ford or the EB engine. I now drive a 2018 Raptor that I love.
Good luck and I will be interested to hear how it turns out for you.

Sorry to hear about the failure on your truck. Hope it get sorted out in a timely fashion.....On the other note, my neighbor called and said that someone stole his two identical sets of grey bicycle rims and tires....lol

The only failure here is you posting shit on here.
Then why did my 2013 6.2 with 42k miles die on the highway and ford have to replace the entire short block? All motors can have issues. Some more than others. My last two 6.2’s had no issues so who knows. Ford said they didn’t know other than cylinder 3 and 4 had bearing failure that seized the crank. Needless to say I’m happy with my 2018 so far.

Don’t you have an autistic kid to pick on?
Damn, you are having a bad week. First you out yourself as a bigoted a$$hole who hates disabled kids, now you troll here looking to divert attention from your failed attempt at humor by blaming an autistic kid for vandalizing your truck.
sub human oxygen thieves like you give the human race a bad reputation.
What the dealer most likely said was that in certain circumstances they may replace the "short block" only (engine block, crank, rods, pistons) or in other circumstances they may replace the "long block" ("short block" plus heads, cams, valvetrain, water/oil pump, etc.)
If they just replaced the short block they would swap the rest of the parts over from your current motor.
But with the age of your truck and the low miles, it is far more likely they will do a complete engine swap.
Oiling issues do seem to be taking out a lot of Ecobost motors lately. But I'm sure Ford will make this right.
Good luck.
