Good news-the dealership has the new engine and they say they will be installing it this week.
I'll take the chance to have a true 5.0.As the 2018 5.0 now uses the same PTWA cylinder coating as the GT350 5.2, we may see more of these failures.
Ford engineers say that the plasma transfer wire arc coating is super durable and that the cross hatching is still visible after 200,000 miles....so I doubt the issue is there.
All trefiddies have the R motor now.So the 19 regular Shelby and the R have different motors?
My man.All trefiddies have the R motor now.
TY Ford for getting this man taken care of.No more piston slap in the cold! Yay! Hope she stays this way.
Depending on how they dropped the engine yes. My car was realigned they took all my camber out -.-Should I need an alignment.? The car seem to be tracking a little differently now, and the steering wheel looks slightly off center.
I'm in the same boat myself.. do I pay the extra and get the 19 ... hoping I don't have the drama of the 17-18 models or do I take the savings and hope I've got a good one.. leaning toward the 19..... just can't look at the used 17-18 listings anymore LOL...It's definitely encouraging for the 2019/2020 models but I am struggling with paying $10-12K more for a 19 over a low mileage 18 that has almost the full warranty. With some of that savings I can buy an extended warranty and not worry for 10 years about anything.
