Just had a V10 with 5,324 miles obtain a fist sized hole in the block while going through a school zone. After a month a new long block was ordered by Ford and once engine was put back in the rig it was found that the driveshaft carrier bearing had failed as well. This occurred in Sept and we now own a DP.
I had a similar issue with the Ford V-8 back in the late 70's. I was on my third engine in my work van, after throwing a rod in the previous two, and had not hit 10,000 miles yet. At that time it was attributed to Union sabotage which explained it but if it happens to you it sure turns you off to Ford products. It was 35 years later before I bought another Ford product.
