Turbos Quit Working

See? Literally can't even take the criticism that they don't take criticism well.

LOL, how many G2 owners hang out on the G1 side of the forum? G1 owners are the only ones trying to convince everyone how great their truck is despite all the upgrades to the G2.

See? Too trollin’ to actually read the words before responding.

What I did was redirect your troll and applied the same criticism back in your direction. And note, I did not disagree with your post, I merely pointed out that Jennifer owners suffer the same malady as some in the Gen2 sub-fora.

The gen2 makes more power in the entire rpm range starting from about 1300rpm and quite lieterally 100% of the reviews I’ve watched and read say it outhandles the gen one on and off road. Sounds like you have a broken engine and suspension.

Well it’s been confirmed, 2nd turbo is shot and a broken sway bar bracket. Low on engine oil and coolant. Transfer case fluid is cooked at 19,000 miles. Gotta love this POS truck. What was it built for exactly?

I'm not sure what you are doing with your truck, but the harder you run it, the more maintenance it needs. Race trucks are exponentially more durable than our toy Raptors, but they still need to be rebuilt after every race weekend. If you don't maintain your equipment, that's on you.

I may have missed it, but are you guys with turbo issues running a tune?

I use it for work, lots of gravel roads some highway, no trails, no racing. I drive fast over rough roads, no pot holes just frost heaves, not air catching conditions whatsoever. I maintain it as per the manual recommendations. If I have to start rebuilding turbos, changing head gaskets, servicing suspension components preemptively every 4 months then I’d put the blame on Ford for manufacturing a poser of a truck. I had my gen 1 for 4 1/2 years 120,000 miles I did the brakes and changed a power steering hose. My Gen 2 is weak.

Mine has always been stock. No mods on this one.

.....My Gen 2 is weak.

Sure sounds like it. You obviously bought a truck with one or more poorly built turbos. Shit happens. Mine has been perfect for the first 20k miles. We'll see how long it lasts.

However the REAL problem isn't with Ford corporate, the problem is dumb shit dealer shops' worthless "technician" goons ******* shit up.

Well, if Ford corporate would rip those ******* dealers ******** out, the dealer network would improve. Mazda rates their dealers based on complaints and severely restrict the guilty dealer's hold-backs, hitting them in their bottom line financially. The Mazda dealer network is really good as far as dealers go. A shit dealer won't be a Mazda franchise for long if their service sucks.

Sucks man. Sell it and buy a low mileage Gen 1. Guaranteed no turbo failures ever.

Yeah, same could be said of a bicycle, rollerskate or flip flops. They will all get you there, but it's not the same.
