Some of you have seen in the F150 thread about what I was going through with my 2018 Screw F150 5.0. But to bring everyone up to date, Ford has a TSB out about the 5.0 Coyotes in 2018+ using oil. Mine used so much oil in the first 4k miles, the dipstick was bone dry. The TSB has you check oil useage every 200 miles and record until a quart is used. During the test, mine failed at about 1k miles. 1 whole quart down. Per TSB, that's a new engine. But before you check out, there's more to this.
My old mans best friend is having a motor put in his truck for the same reason. It has 3k miles on it. There are a few other trucks at the dealership there for the same reason.
It's such a large issue that motors are actually on back order, and roughly a month out. But the ironic part is that Ford has yet to state there being any issue with the 5.0 plasmamoly spray in liners. The long block part number has also not changed, meaning they've done zero engineering updates to the design.
So effectively, Ford is replacing 5.0 Coyotes in 2018+ trucks (and possibly mustangs soon from what I can find) with the exact same motors that has the exact same issue. The cab gets to come off, the truck will go back together, and it will not be the same, all for a not complete fix. Very frustrating.
Needless to say, I am asking the dealership to take my 6k mile truck back, get the wife into something cheap and not 40K+ and just move on. I will never buy a new Ford again.
