you forgot the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle . . lol
Agreed - shocking to many - the newly introduced '22 build-week spreadsheets expose the myth of 'reservation priority' - last Fall & Summer many here suspected this, that only about half the build-dates were going to reservations - but the...
yesterday all three of the Trackers changed - now say "In Production" - but still can't pull-up the window sticker yet
the usual Ford IT fiasco I guess - just shambles of bad info & outages - Ho Hum
EDIT Update: just tried again - got the window sticker - 4/9 blend
- guess I owe Ford an...
remember last summer when Ford planned ramp to 1200 per-day running two-shifts ( via @PREMiERdrum )
9-months later, they still have trouble making 300 a day
w $100 reservations Ford made it a circus - should have been $1000 minimum
and dealers see reservations as threat to their business - Ford moving to direct sales - so many of the dealers try their best to screw up the reservation holders
few weeks ago looked up the -L part# - found it translates to the new -AB engine
(i.e. Svc part# MB3Z-6006-L translates to Engrg part# MB3E-6006-AB) - see below
? not sure how the -C part# translates ?
Good Engines
- Besides the blown engines, also helpful if people post good engines - build-dates & mileage in threads like :
- Whose 2.7 running strong . .
- How Many Miles Your 2.7
- or this thread, and others
This way B6g gathering good info. Histogram below shows more than 175 good engines...
Wow ! !
- you got rev -AB w the new head assemblies
- '22 engine build-date (Jan 20) - ebd 22020
- looks all the latest in this replacement
Ford needs to do something like this for a few thousand owners in ebd 'hot zones', and current blown engine survivors
- 'Replacement Campaign', 'Recall' -...
it's the twin of the replacement engine for @Broncoshrimp (see below)
- you have the previous sequence# to hers - no worries about defective valves since these engines were built before any bad valves hit production
- these early engine dates seem very reliable so far
Update - today two more engine build-dates in OP table & graphs -
line# 37) - 21224 - (12 Aug) . . . 4th engine on this date
line# 38) - 21214 - (02 Aug) . . . 2nd on this date
Now 30 total, and 28 are still within '2-month Containment' range.
As these blown engines accumulate, the two 'hot...
Recent Changes - 2.7L Bronco V6 (Nano gen2)
- over the past 6-months there were at least three changes
1) New Valves
- 'Nano valve supplier issue was resolved with more robust design and material changes at the supplier.'
- Timeframe: ~ Summer/Fall
2) Head Assemblies - New Part#'s

yesterday went over there - to support @VictoryLights did a post, first time in a few months
yeah over there they refer to us as "that OTHER website" . . lol
( translation: "they whose names shall never be spoken" . . "those untouchables banished to far corners of the Earth" )
The overall scope shows they need to open a replacement campaign for affected owners, at least in the ebd 'hot zones' & prob wider.
For example: Let's make a rough ballpark estimate of the 2.7 failure rate in these ebd 'hot zones', for the owners most at risk.
Time Span -
- so far B6g tracking...
Reminder:
- only takes about 5-mins to file your engine report w NHTSA
As a 2.7L blown engine survivor, your voice to NHTSA can make a huge difference
These blown engines are big worry to thousands of owners still driving 2.7's with maybe defective parts - maybe blown engine any day
Ford...
Would I do that ? . . Y'all really think I'd 'sell-out' to Ford, and then disappear on y'all ?
Hey, everything has a price . . lolol
