In Reply to: Ford recalling 91,000 Eco-Boom! engines. posted by ghost of olddude55 on September 3, 2024 at 16:47:24:
...look up the complaints about the 10-spd automatic trannys backing them.
My plumber just sold and replaced all 6 of his F-150 Eco-Boost trucks with Toyota Tundra pick-ups. No catastrophic engine failures (in his case), but continuous problems with the 10-spd automatic trannys. Ford would have replaced/repaired them (under a class-action law suit), but the dealers can't even get the replacements/parts for 2-3 months--so he just ditched them and replaced them with the Toyotas--he needs his trucks working to keep working.
