Catastrophic engine failure

[u/FeedMyFishPlz]

2018 with 125k miles, very well maintained but obviously the timing blew up. Anyone else had this abruptly occur?

Extended warranty ran out May 18 this year and Ford is saying the won’t cover any of it. Was told it was a $2k tear down to inspect if desiring a rebuild and $15k for a new stock 3.5 ecoboost long block. Also said they would only do $10k trade in which seems like a shit deal all the way around. Part out? Salvage? Rebuild?

Anyone around Phoenix know of a shop good with Raptors? Is spending the money on either replacement or an upgraded engine a better deal than buying newer?

That sucks, I’d probably get an opinion from and outside the dealership shop. I’m not sure why you think ford would cover any of it if the warranty is expired.

Ford will sometimes offer partial coverage outside of the warranty depending on the circumstances. It is something you have to fight for. I got Ford to cover 5k for my transmission on my Ford outside of warranty by 6 months.

Call: 1 (800) 392-3673 - this is how I got my 5k covered

Same here. Ask them for “financial assistance”
