Really sorry to hear that GIB... Do let us know how it turns out.

I definitely did check into that and the core is $1000 on top of the list price of the engine. They are not charging me the core fee. Yeah, 21 hours seems high, but he said that was book time, but maybe that's book for a new long block and using all my parts. He said they would charge me actual...

FYI, the part number is bb5z-6006-AARM for the complete (ford remanufactured) engine assembly and they are charging me list price (which is fine). 21 hrs of labor at $99/hr plus $300 tax and $200 misc parts.

Argh, don't do this to me, I really want to trust this dealer! Really, though, thanks. I will get a breakdown and see whats what. -m

The reason I mention it was that the service manager was very surprised that they did not have it in stock an it needed to be built. That has never happened before in his experience. At least that's what he said. He fully expected to have one in hand in a couple days.

My 2011 explorer limited with 95k miles currently has a failed water pump that destroyed the engine and the dealer is indicating a new engine is required ($7,342.75). Bought the car brand new, serviced at dealer, coolant flushed at the dealer in March of this year. Have the extended 6/100k...

Thanks Turdle. Yeah, I actually had my dealer flush the cooling system in March at the last servicing a their recommendation. -m

Hey all, I have a 2011 explorer limited that I bought brand new. First new Ford and I was thrilled. The new design was beautiful, including that triple-coat white, the ride was good, power, myfordtouch... Loved it. It has been a great car for six years. This was a big investment for us so...

Update. This is not a timing chain issue. The water pump disintegrated and threw metal all over the engine. Now I get to buy a new engine for $7500. Again, weeks out of warranty. Crud. I have seen this issue with at least two other 2011 explorers. I urge you to consider selling your...

Thanks everyone. We authorized the work, really kind of over a barrel with the car being out of town and needing it. Wish I had more time to get a second opinion or tow it back home (unfortunately the explorer is also my only towing vehicle). You know how it is, never pleasant to have a major...

Sorry, that's a 6 year 100k warranty.

Hey guys, Just looking for a little advice. We have a 2011 limited with 95k on it. We purchased the extended warranty through our dealer which is 7/100k, it expired at the end of june at the end of july my wife took the car for a 250 mil trip and it threw a CEL with a cam/crank sensor error...

I think that's a feature, not a bug. It broadens the scope of the search by dropping the last letter, in case of a misspelling or something. I think its helpful.
