Glade they are getting you back on the road sooner then six weeks!
As for the guys that think this engine is bullet proof you might want to slow down on the Blue Kool-Aid a bit! Yes it is a good engine, heck even a great engine. But Bullet proof it is not!

Just like anything made in large numbers under high volume there will be the occasional bad engine coming off ANY assembly line. Ford's plants are no different then any other car companies. It is quantity first then they worry about quality.
We have a Toolmaker that took his two week vacation and started a job at a Ford plant. After one week he told them to "take their job and shove it" and came back to work for FCA. He will tell you "if you think FCA is screwed up try working for Ford. They are a joke!". This is not BS and as you will note in the last quote he said he thinks FCA is screwed up too! And before you go thinking GM is better I know first hand how GM is run. My Dad put in over thirty years at the Toledo Powertrain plant. He would come home and tell me stories that would make you turn red with anger. He drove Fords most of the time he worked at GM and bought a 91 Ram after he retired not a GM. He does like his Cadillac's though LOL
So stop beat the drums boys because if any of you knew what really goes on in the auto plants you would by a horse and buggy!
