Ouch, I understand the truck was beat on 24/7, but it still is a little disappointing. Anyword on other EB's in the fleet?

Just got back from lunch with my friend and the ecoboost has developed a pretty bad knock at 131,000 miles. They have another 6 days to go with the test so they are going to run it until then. He said it was running fine until they pulled it in the shop to rotate the test tires and fired it up and started knocking and has gotten louder everyday and it has lost alot of power also. Im headed over there after work and if the truck is there i will get a video of it, they left out late this morning so it may not be there.
on a side note they have several 09's with the 5.4 and they are around 260-278,000 miles and still running strong, other than burning a little bit of oil

They must not drive the 09's that much cause if they were doing 800 miles a day then they should have 292k in one year on each truck.

I think the situation with the 5.0 tells you how hard they are running these vehicles. Remember that that engine blew also.
Interesting that the EB held up as well as the 5.0.
When the knock started, the truck should have gone in. It may, or may not have saved the engine. Of course it was down on power, as it was in limp (please get me fixed) mode.
