[QUOTE="Chris Pinzone, post: 558997, member: 55596"] It's not your fault that your engine died!! 7K miles between oil changes is nothing! Your engine died because Ford engines are built like CRAP! I know because the engine on my 2001 Sport Trac just croaked too! And it doesn't matter how well you take care of the engine, it can't prevent it! This is the fourth and last new Ford that I buy that needed an engine! Here's the list: 1981 Escort - 5000 miles and dead engine 1984 Ranger - 10000 miles and dead engine 1997 F150 - 52000 miles and dead engine 2001 Sport Trac - 93000 miles and dead engine OK, maybe I'm getting farther along each time but come on!! These were all dealer maintained, every 3K mile oil changed, pampered vehicles!! I put 190000 on my VW bug, 95000 on my big block Chrysler, and 250000 on a straight six Chevy! What gives?!! Tell your dealer its their fault and if he tells you no, say that you want to talk to the regional Ford rep! The dealers always told me it was my fault even though they saw the vehicle every few months! I got them to make good on the first 3 vehicles, this one I'm biting the bullet myself and picked up a good used motor for $500.!!! :angry: [/QUOTE]
