Apparently owners know they're working right thanks to regular MIL illumination and dealer visits.

Pic doesn't work for me but just looking at first two pages of thread multiple owners with persistent CEL 500-1000 miles on trucks. That is nuts.

Forum goes wonk sometimes, repaired
Think it might have to do w/ it trying to put first post image as a banner or something ?‍

Seems they have PCM and TBC issues with them. We had a taste of that initially w/ the random trailer brake error message flashing up randomly. No misfiring though, even w/ 93 in the tank and that's just the standard output motors. Haven't seen anyone even mention the HO motor which I think will provide the most interesting results w/ its boost levels.

Pic shows up now. ?
It will give me an error box, refresh doesn't work, usually only works the 3rd time coming to thread. Probably some weird thing with the third party servers involved.

We think we have software problems but Ford hasn't disabled half an engine yet.

Software issue. For odd number cylinders
Did I read that correctly?

Hmm did they have a weird EPA software loaded, then at delivery it goes away and now they have a 0 and 1 conflict ???????
Imo..

Came across an article w/ them admitting they knew they were shipping garbage. Article says much less than the "author" tried to write. Title is all you need on this one.

Cmon Ram. We need them to put pressure on Ford.

Think of the fuel savings they get with a 1.5L 3 cyl single turbo!

Or just the use Fred Flintstone method with feet. Infinite fuel economy.

At least they don't have to worry about checking the oil.....since the 3.0 doesn't have an oil dipstick

 

[PowerBoostSoCal]

Just ship it ... let the dealer solve the issues ... what a mess.

Repeat after me, "I will never buy a first-year model again."

I'm thinking more along the lines of version 1 of such a motor. W/ Gen 3 3.5L we get a lot of benefits from having that motor now being near bulletproof w/ the major issues having been addressed. Now the 10r80 is another issue entirely - at least those of us subject to the CDF drum and solenoid rebuild.

Careful @HammaMan , you may scare all of us into mounting squirt guns to mist our radiators, re-routing our cats, or just plain putting fans to the trans somewhere underneath. I cannot think of any other ways to cool the 10r80 on a PB. Maybe I'll ask ShatGPT, Geminode, or Co-Plot next.
