Ford racing and summit have them now$5250 to $5850 ...google it.Yeah with parts being so scarce I wonder how available a long block would be?
Try Summit ...A new long block from Ford is $6500. The hard part might be actually finding one.
Or you're cruising along at 100% military power and a turbine blade exits the side of the engine nacelle. Not the same as a piston but the side of the road is a little further away ?. Until it's not.?Or at 8k in high gear, in a burn out, with about 10K people watching you.....
Because OP is paying for the teardown shouldn't he be entitled to a more detailed analysis other than "well it's definitely broken"? I would expect a more detailed report, personally. I mean if I was paying for said analysis...Why would they provide more information than they need to?
When I worked at Subaru it was interesting. If it was a low milage blown engine we had to get data. Anything over 50k was usually replaced without question. And if the customer blew the second engine we would get data. If the boost pressure was over spec or if there was any other details indicating a tune then it would be denied. However, I though ford would care less as they sell their own tune...Just spoke with 5 Star Tuning, and told them that Ford blames “All the Mods” as I asked what specific “MOD” caused my engine to fail... also told 5 Star that I purchased their warranty... I was put on hold, and told them, I don’t believe it’s the tune... he pulled up my data etc... they’ll get back to me within an hour and a half... Excellent Customer Service... Ford is still crickets, on what exact “MOD” killed the engine...
Might be able to find a low mileage salvage cheaper and pull one. Lots of extra parts too depending on the damage! https://www.iaai.com/Vehiclelisting/Ford/Ranger/2020
you can be literally anyone on the phone, done it myself more times that I will admit.@Project Midnight
I have a special place in my heart for sometimes being a passive aggressive bastard with the artful skill of extracting information. Give me the word and the proper phone number at Ford and "OFC Lawyer" could see about getting you some more info. Playing pretend as an adult is still fun at times.
I already amended to say he should probably get some more information if he paid for the teardown. I also said that he probably should have clarified what he would get before paying. But should be expect to find an exact cause? No, this is real life, not a tv show. He didn't pay enough for someone to analyze every component and run simulations to find out exactly what failed. The demand to know "which mod" is just silly. Knowing that there is stuff attached that will run the engine out of spec and then confirming that the failure is exactly what happens if you run it out of spec is (IMO) sufficient. There simply isn't a need, or a practical way, to identify one specific thing that was too much--especially since the effect of the changes is probably cumulative.Because OP is paying for the teardown shouldn't he be entitled to a more detailed analysis other than "well it's definitely broken"?
