  1. Long term reliability of the 2.3

    I've had success with the both the Ecoboost motor and the Ranger! I have an Ecoboost Fusion w/ 80k on it with zero problems, plus an Ecoboost Mustang that I track, again with zero problems. And I'm driving Ranger #3 and again, have had zero problems!
  2. Wide open gap in front grill...What is Ford thinking?

    Well that's good news! I'm on Ranger #3, and I really like the new ones!! But I've never towed more than a single axle trailer with any of them, hence, why I also have a Super Duty, but it's time to downsize to one all purpose truck. But, I still can't recommend blocking the lower grille and I'd...
  3. Wide open gap in front grill...What is Ford thinking?

    Wow! Guys, that gille opening is important, if air does not get to your Intercooler, your charge (combustion air) temperature is going to rise, your ECU will pull engine timing and your loose power Unless you back off till the charge temperature drops, you will overheat your "All Aluminum" motor.
  4. Wide open gap in front grill...What is Ford thinking?

    The "Heat Soak" problem with our Ecoboost motor's Intercooler, only accure in extreme heat or under a heavier than normal load. When your Intercooler heat soaks, your combustion air is no longer cooled and your ECU removes engine timing, therefore reducing power. And unfortunately, this usually...
  5. Wide open gap in front grill...What is Ford thinking?

    I'm still driving a 2011 Ranger, but I also have an modified Ecoboost Mustang. And knowing a little about the 2.3 motor, I do have reservations about buying a new Ranger (with 7500 tow package). My question, does the new Ranger come with a " charge temperature" gauge? Heat soak of the Mustang...
  6. Other ecoboost engines vs ours

    I "assume" everyone understands that the 2.3 Ecoboost motor has an open deck, where the 2.0 Ecoboost has a semi closed deck? Other than that, many parts are similar and even interchangeable. Where you guys can help me, is concerning what type of connecting rods your 2.3 Ecoboost motor is...
  7. Long term reliability of the 2.3

    Based on the video... The rod on the left is the 2020+ Ranger (and maybe mustang) the rod on the right is 2019 and earlier. I did confirm that the rods available today for a 2019 and earlier 2.3 ecoboost have a replacement number (same number as 2020+ rods) and also found some NOS rods (with the...
  8. Long term reliability of the 2.3

    Dave, Have you seen any information about new connecting rods for the 2020+ motor? All I have is this video...
  9. Long term reliability of the 2.3

    I have the same question! Did Ford make any changes to the 2020 Ecoboost motor?? PS: The 2.3 ecoboost motor has an open deck engine block and the 2.0 ecoboost motor has a semi open deck engine block.
