Not to sound stupid, but what do you mean it let go? Rod through the pan, piston through head? etc. I'm curious because mine has been noisy at startup since new too. Did it have that infamous "diesel" sound? Please reply.

Not sure what you were trying to accomplish, but if I were 1.2 seconds and 17 MPH down from baseline, I wouldn't have tried to "diagnose" it by flogging the truck down a dragstrip. Just a thought. </font>

real sluggish and made rattling noises for a period of 8 months and your dealer kept telling you it was normal,what would you do?Ill tell ya what to do,You go to the track to check MPH.My motor has been rapping LONG before the truck ever saw a track,I can assure you.And for the record Im glad it finally went,At least I know what the problem is.There aRE many OF US WITH RATTLING BEFORE SHIFT,dIESEL START UP,AND LACK OF POWER. nOW IF YOU HAVE ONE OR MORE OF THESE PROBLEMS,You NEED a new motor!! Its not forged pistons,Its not normal and its not from abuse!! Its a DEFECT that ford knows about !! good ol #5 piston
I dont have any bolt ons on my truck,Mine is all stock
One more thing,I dont think my truck is a 'lemon" its just one of the MANY with this design problem.
