I don't know a single person with a late model F150 that that has happened to.
I personally know 2 that I work with.
One guy had labor covered under warranty at 110k miles but had to buy the parts... $2500
Other had to bare the full cost at 136k miles. $3800.
And Ford is looking to DOWNSIZE the Ecoboost in the 2015 models????????
Nothing, I mean absolutely NOTHING, makes sense about putting a smaller motor in a bigger truck and making it work harder, no matter how much boosting or super charging you're doing to it.
Unless you upgrade the internal and external parts, they WILL fail under such loads. And Ford is proving this with the timing chain failures.
If it wasn't an issue, then why did ford redesign the parts for the timing chain system?

Um...fuel economy. That's why they did it.
