Curious on how long the slappers have had to wait for a new Engine after being diagnosed ?

I know a guy who is very interested

Hi Dondo7,

I think it was three days for me. The dealer ordered the motor the next day after diagnosis.

My engine took about a week to come in. Went to the dealer to look at it last night. As has been reported by other '99 F150 members, my replacement engine is also a 2000 series 5.4, brand new with the plastic intake. My god, it just looks impressively massive sitting on the shop floor all by itself !! I actually touched it, ran my fingers all over it's sensual....oops, I better stop ;-)

Taking "Big Blue" in Monday evening for the replacement operation.....

1999 F150 4x4, dark blue, 5.4l auto, Manick brush guard, KC Hilites, tinted windows, K&N air filter without airbox, Gibson side swept exhaust, bedliner, toolbox, Uniden CB with whip, and now, an appointment with Dr Ford for open heart surgery (to replace a Piston Slap'in Engine)...

 

Mine took about 2-1/2 weeks came in 3 day Federal express was just installed yesterday mechanic said it is only the beginning of the engine changes for a lot of trucks! Seems to run fine so far least it will now idle anyway.

 

My engine was ordered 17-Nov and just came in 03-Dec. Have to wait until 13-Dec for the dealer to have a loaner car available. Sob! Sob!

My truck was diagnosed yesterday and the engine ordered. I'll let you know how long it takes. My service advisor estimated a week or less. Nice thing is that the Windsor plant is a stones throw from Detroit!

Two weeks for it to come from the romeo plant, to Saskatoon Sask: Canada.

 

Mine has been on order since 11/26/99 it will be in soon I hope. There seems to be alot of the 99 5.4 engines out there with the problem then I would have thought

Mine took 3 days after the dealer diagnosed it. I went in and examined the remanufactured engine when it arrived. It was pefectly clean.
My exhaust now pops like mad when warming up and cooling down. Anyone have any comments on that?

Dealer ordered engine on Nov 10. Got call from dealer on the 28 of nov. Dropped truck off on the 1 of Dec and as of the 6 of dec I'm still waiting for dealer to finish the engine swap.

Lucky guys! Dealer confirmed that I needed a new engine back in late October. They can't even order one until after January 2000. There are no cores for a FQR rebuild and no new V10's are available either!
