Not hearing great things about the '08 and on Fords. Not sure why, but $19 000.00 engine swops are becoming pretty popular, many with less than 150-200k miles. Lots of theories being floated, including oil contamination from EGR, but the main complaint being bearing failure, usually with very expensive sounding knocking noises. Good friend of mine whose been a Ford guy all his life is rethinking things, after having had a 6.0 blow up on him, and now his '08 with 170k miles do the same. He's been changing oil every 5k miles. He loved his 7.3's, and even the V10's he had were reliable.


To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth.
