New 07 Harley Thrust Bearing Failure

[WINEMAN1957]

Hey everyone i just joined the 150 forum, i bought a new 07 harley/saleen last week on the 21st in Daytona Beach Fl, drove home to N.C.about a 585 mile trip. Got up the next day and went to town to get oil for oil change and when i pulled in the driveway the truck started knocking and the engine light came on, I cut truck off checked the oil it was still full, restarted truck and no knock so i drove to Auto Zone and they scanned it and showed a camshaft sensor was bad. On the 25th i took to local Ford dealer and and the scanned it and it showed camshaft / thrust bearing code. To make a long story short the motor has to be replaced with only 720 miles on speedo and 5 days old. They won't even consider replacing the truck.... so i will start the buy-back process. So much for Ford standing behind there product and customers

Don't know, but member "WaxDaddy" had a "major" engine failure with his Harley Saleen equipped F150. Do a search on him in this (HD) forum and see if your problem was related. I hope this is not the sign of a trend. I have a '07 Harley without the supercharger. Damn dude. - Og

Thats what made me post here....... i read his problem, and i hope no one else has this problem with there truck. This is the 1st gas truck i have had since 2001 makes me wonder if i should have stuck with the old Powerstroke.........

went through the same with my Mark lt. search my earliest posts to find my long story. Motor went bad with 580 miles on the clock, took 30 days for ford to agree to exchange the truck after they couldnt produce an engine in time for lemon law. Good luck
