Fuel Hydrolocked '05 5.4

I don't think Ford did it voluntarily, I think they were sued. Not very many auto companies step up to the plate and "DO THE RIGHT THING", most are forced to. And you are correct, a lot of companies have had problems with injectors from time to time but most of them don't end up in catastrophic engine failure like Ford's have. And probably not as wide spread as Ford's (Bosch) failure on the '05. They probably tried to make 'em cheaper somehow and ended up in this fiasco.

I believe it's 120,000, not 110,000. There is a time limit with that also though.

Ford Customer Service told me they won't replace any injector that isn't defective. I told them I hope they're happy possibly giving me eight short blocks.

My #7 failed....no engine damage. Lost Cat and 02 Sensors on that bank.
Ford will only replace damaged injector, leaves others in engine.
Most have #7 injector failure for the cause of the problem. Ford will only replace cats, 02 sensors etc after they fail. Usually takes about 30 miles and they throw a CEL.
Warranty is 120K miles and 11 years on the 05.
I had mine go around 73K miles...replaced under warranty and no issues since. Other 7 are in there until 120K miles. Truck currently is sitting at 89300 and running like a champ. Still a daily driver until I get my new commuter later this year then its going in the garage and only coming out for camping, hunting, fishing, snow days.

It's so nice to have it back 100% and no worry about these things anymore! And damn it runs good!
