All, some unlucky news here on my end. My '17 Screw with 22K miles went into limp mode on the way to work in early december and I just got the news that the ford hotline approved an engine replacement.
long story short: Trucks been babied and no engine mods since new. Apparently the timing chain came loose and as you can imagine bad things happened from there.
A couple of items.
1) I've had a loaner for a few days but need approval from FoMoCo to approve to be in a loaner until they wrap up the replacement. WTF with only 4 days max for loaner approval when warranty work is being done. And #2 why do I need to call for approval vs. dealer being able to exercise. Sigh - okay done venting on that topic.
2) Should I buckle up and accept the engine replacement or ask for a goodwill replacement.
3) I love my truck but I'm not sure about the longevity here. My gen 1 '14 was bullet proof and my Gen 2 has been relatively maintenance free (other than standard oil changes, locks freezing, rattle here there). maybe I'm better off starting fresh.
I've got some nice mods. Xpel front of truck, mirrors, B-pillars, C pillars, etc. Fogs/ADD rear bumper, upgraded stereo, ceramic coated, etc.
Apparently the 3.5 is backordered and unknown date for replacement. I've been without the truck for 3 weeks already. How patient should I be...?
Thx for feedback team. Kevin
