Never thought I would say it but I have joined the ranks of the Ecobooms. It let go last night while rolling on the throttle at about 75mph on the freeway. Much noise, smoke, oil and bits bouncing under the car was to be had by all behind me.
Towed to a local Ford dealer but they're saying it will be at least a week before they can even pop the hood to look at it because their so busy and maybe a month or two to repair.
After several searches, I'm just not seeing much in the way of what the "Out the door" replacement cost is from the dealer will be. Given that they are going to be a week plus to look at it, I would like to know what my options are and maybe have it taken elsewhere since I doubt they will warranty it.
I see Livrnois has a Street Series Shortblock for $3700 and Ford has a fully built 2.3L crate engine for $5500-$6200, but I don't know how many hrs would go into the rebuild.
