We have a 2019 Escape 1.5L EB that just turned over 36,000 miles, when the dreaded Check engine light came on....took it to dealer and they confirmed that there is coolant intrusion into the cylinder number 3....and are beginning the process to replace the defective engine. The question I have...that they have so far, not been able to answer....and which I have not been able to find in the forums....is: What effects..."down the road"....will this coolant intrusion have on other power train components...such as the turbo charger, and the Catalytic converter? I have noticed that the inside of the exhaust pipes appear to have "soot" in them...so I am assuming that this is the result of non-combustion caused by the coolant intrusion....which leads me to believe that turbo charger failure is awaiting me sometime in the near future.....as well as a possible clogged Catalytic Converter. Is this something that Ford will address at the time of engine replacement....or is it one of those "hope and pray" situations where you hope and pray the problem presents itself before the warranty expires?

From San Diego Here! Well I’ve made my order for a new Tremor Lariat Ultimate F250 7.3L. I’ve added some extra goodies but really looking forward to Adaptive Cruise, Ventilated Seats, LED lights. I’m interested in the discussions of Tremor Package, photos of other trucks, Ford production and my order status, the tunes and turbo adds to the 7.3L and really looking to see how, why or if to do any of these types of mods? What does or does not do to your warranty and what type of success have you had fighting or working with your dealers? I was a bigJeep Wrangler Overlander before it was cool and made some epic trips such as a trip to the Gros Ventre Wilderness for the Solar Eclipse and North Rim of the Grand Canyon. I have now journeyed into the Airstream life with my wife, daughter at age 3 and my two goofy boxers Ziggy and Zoey. Realizing that safety and responsible towing is a must with the family in tow and the exercise expanding of camping luxurious to haul along. I’m currently in a 2019 F 150 and looking forward to the extra truck as I continue my voyage down road. cheers to everyone and Hello! - MooseTremor

Hey everyone, I have been searching for specs on the turbos used in the 2017 3.5L V6 ecoboost. I’m looking to add a bov if compatible. Any info would be appreciated. Google has failed me.
