They also made the worse designed engine the 5.4 3valve triton from roughly 2004-2008 you’ll find it mostly in expeditions and some f150 those years. The f250 is complete junk but the f350 is one of the best built big trucks on the market your just going to pay though the nose for repairs and maintenance certainly not a daily driver for most people.

The first time I spotted a plastic intake manifold in a car, I said to myself, "cheap junk!" But now I see them pretty much everywhere, and no one seems to have problems with them. Maybe we will be saying the same thing about plastic drain pans in 10 years.
Did you see any other problem on the 2.7 ecoboost?

lol mike the plastic intakes are a common huge problem. They heat up and warp causing them to leak when it comes in it’s a $1200 job because you have to purchase the entire manifold instead of just the $40 gasket set.

Most common problem on the 2.7 ecoboost is burnt piston rings it takes 45 min for the turbo to drain oil completely they put a TSB out a while ago when shops where draining for the typical 5-10 min and filli with oil it shows correct on the stick but the turbo is overfilled so it pressurized the system and burns piston rings. I tell guys when they come in I’ll call you and an hour I let it drain the full hour to be safe before putting oil back in.
