Interesting story for me
July5th
I,m driving across Saskatchewan in my 05 Lariat when all of a sudden it sounds like I'm driving a diesel. Luckily I can limp in to a ford dealership a few kms away. After messing around for a couple hours, the service tech shows me a service bulletin where there are problems with faulty injectors? At this point they think I have a bent rod and my engine is toast, so they order up some new injectors and the engine is still running poorly, so they submit a claim to Ford and a couple weeks later there is a new small block with my name on it at the dealership. Total cost to me was $551.00 for the new engine switch over, plus the rental I had for 3.5 weeks while I was waiting .
Why the hell wouldn't Ford change out all of the injectors instead of just the 2 that failed. fs

Read the 07M08 link in my sig. I went through this with my 05 5.4 truck, one injector stuck and it hydrolocked and broke a rod. Ford put in a new short block and one injector and I paid to have the other 7 injectors replaced. All I paid for was 7 injectors, all the other work was covered under 07M08.
I called FCS to see about the other 7 being replaced free of charge to save them money but their answer amounted to they would rather pay for a new short block every time one injector fails.
