I have had 2 ecoboost trucks, and I love the way it tows. So much torque down low where you need it. I have friends that have over 120000 on ecoboosts and never had an issue.

blew my motor too

OK, well I bought a new 2012 F150, driving a lot for work I lifted it, exhaust, air intake and then SCT tune. Blew the motor at 39K.. motor was covered and rental was covered. I paid 25 dollars for the tax of the rental and that was it. I think every dealer is so different its a shame. But I'm at 50k now and this motor isn't making the same boost. When it blew first time making 16 stock boost. Now barely making 12 anyone know why? I'm about to replace the intercooler, waste gate solenoid and actuators and bovs from turbo smart (stage3motorsports)

Did the tuner come up during warranty? Just curious if they even looked for it or if they cared.

Yes, when the motor blew I return the truck to stock. Took the tuner itself out with me when the truck was towed. They asked me if I ever had a tuber in it and I said nope. That was the extent of it. Apparently piston was sucked into crank case ? I believe that is what he said.
