| Description of the problem | Had to buy a new engine! The truck started running rough on the drive home from work on friday, april 6. On saturday morning, april 7, i took it to get gas. After filling my tank, the truck would not start back up. I had to have it towed from the gas station. Towed it to keller ford, grand rapids, mi. Codes p0011, p0016, p0017, p0019, p0021, p0172, p0175, p0299, p0313, p0365, p0369, p0390, p0394, p0430 and p052c. The technician also performed a power balance test and a compression test, it was determined half the engine had zero compression and the other half had lowered compression. All of these results indicated the truck needed a full engine replacement. $7,650 for the new engine. A vehicle with 80,000 miles and only 5 years old should not need a new engine. A mechanic told us this is a problem and he replaces an engine on these ford trucks at least a few times a month. We had the engine replaced at sulforce automotive, grandville, mi |
