90k Miles on my F-150 Coyote with the rattle. I bought it used with about 20k on it and never noticed it until I was driving with the radio off one day. That was roughly 3 years ago. I was super concerned about it for a while, but with the costs of new trucks even if this one blows up I can...
The engine arrived in record time, I just went and picked it up this morning around 11 am. The dealership recorded the serial number and attached it to my car's VIN for warranty. It is the correct GEN 2 Coyote engine and comes pretty well-loaded with everything you need. All new sensors and...
At the end of the day, it comes down to if having the warranty, and the fact that it's a brand new engine that you're dropping in is worth the extra money. Yes, you might not get a new engine free and clear if it goes bang, but more than likely you'll get something. Also, you have piece of...
They'll look at the modifications done to the car and take that all into account. I have no doubt that they will try to get out of any warranty repair that they can. Unless they have proof that you raced the car or neglected it. Warped block or heads from running it too hot. Blued or over-worn...

Yup, tends to happen when the machine shop forgets to tighten down the rod cap bolts. I bought the car blown up so I knew what I was in for, sucks for the last guy though.
Because this engine is going to spend its entire life above 5000 rpm, and if you look closely there's a core charge of $1500 on there so it's $7000 plus tax for a new engine from Ford. With a 36-month unlimited mileage warranty I suggest you go try to find anything less than 6000k out there that...
Hello all,
I have been bumming around here lurking on the forums gathering info on all things Mustang the last few weeks. The info has been great I just wanted to share with you guys that might be looking for a GEN 2 to build without having to source parts from all over the place. I had heard...
