I guess I will be driving a new Ford tomorrow

Thanks for the support. Pretty rare these days to hear of major failures from any of the big three, or even the imports for that matter. Vehicles have gotten so very complicated over the years that you would expect more trouble but they seem to be more reliable than ever. I expect I will get many thousands of trouble free miles out of the new motor. Sure glad I have a couple more years of factory warranty to fall back on though. If it was late in year 3 I might think about trading it off.
