Well it happened, 100,000 miles on an EcoBoost
Last night I hit 100,000 miles on my 2011 EcoBoost and despite what the haters on the internet said the engine didn't simply give up and die. I have averaged 17.1MPG over the entire time which is a lot of freeway driving, loads of smokey burnouts, plenty of stoplight to stoplight beat downs (mostly on GM junk), pulling quite a few trailers, crawling around in 4x4 and using it like a truck. In that time all I have done is change the oil, filter and air filter, put a couple of sets of spark plugs in it and replace a failed O2 sensor. I have had a 5* tune on it since about 60,000 which only makes this truck even better.
In case anyone was wondering I'm completely sold on forced induction even in a truck. I am getting a borescope for Christmas so I plan on using it to look at the valves and see if there's any carbon buildup on them. I'll post up the results when I can. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...6ae048f22f.jpg 100,000 in the EcoBoost, still running strong.

Congrats on the milestone.
What gears in your truck? |
I have the 3.55LS.

Congrats...my truck is only at 20K so I have a way to go! :beers:
|
Nice job!

2011 EB 4x2 152k, 3 sets of plugs and avg 19.4 mpg. No towing and not too many burnouts. Running stronger than ever.
|
That's great to hear!
|
I love hearing this. I know I won't be upgrading for a few more years, but when I do if I don't go brand new it's more than likely going to be a 11-14 EB. Looking forward to more updates from everyone.

So, Wookie - it's WAY after Christmas! Was Santa good to you? Hope you are still going to post the borescope pictures.

- Jack I picked up an el cheapo scope but the good one had issues with the vendor and I ended up not getting it. Right after Christmas my daughter was born so my free time to work on cars has turned into diaper changing time. Once I can squeeze some spare time into my schedule I'll take a peek inside the intake and look at the valves. |
Congrats on the Christmas baby, Joe! :beers:
They DO change your life, don't they? - Jack |
She sure has changed things! My house has exploded in pink stuff and my free time is pretty limited right now. Sleep is a luxury these days.

True...

I hope to keep mine for some time and load it up with the miles. |
