I just had my Ford tech call me and said that they are going to replace my motor under warranty and it will be covered for another 36/30,000. However, they say it would be a Ford Co. remanufactured motor not a nice new motor from blower to oil pan as you sometimes see on eBay, etc…. It will only be from heads to oil pan. No intake, blower, etc. included. He said that they work great and look new (components) when they come. They have mostly new components because Ford doesn't use anything from blown up ones cuz there isn't nothing salvageable and that they would put warranty on. I’m think I’m fine with it and trust my tech. He said exact same components as stock 03/04 Cobra motors. One of the reasons is that they do not have any brand new ones laying around.

Any opinions or experience from people who had their motors replaced??

Thanks

I'd say your pretty lucky since we all know what happened to your motor.

Congrats it finally worked out, let me know when I can ick up those stock parts.

You should be fine....

 

[Flatliner]

As long as you have another 3/36, I would think that is pretty good, right?

Yep, thanks for the hook-up :toast: and positive comments from others.

I know I was going to get some smart a$$ remarks from others. Just looking for some info about these remanufactured motors.

I didn't pull anything. Just took the car back in same way as I bought it.

You are right. It's not Ford's fault and maybe they shouldn't pay for it. They designed the car for performance and maybe those vacuum lines should be better and not the same as on any of their other cars. It's not an NA motor and shouldn't have those parts on it. Later on down the road if the lines/fittings get any kind of moisture on them or oil, rot, etc.., and get weaker, they will come off under boost.

Maybe I'm not going to do the most honest thing, but what the hell, I'm willing to try it. I'm sure I'm not the first to do it either and their pockets are waaay deeper then mine. I had a bunch of things in my life go wrong that weren't my fault at all and I had to pay for them. Yeah, it does soud kind of shitty but I can live with it. Put yourself in my shoes. It's warranty and sort of like insurance. That's what I paid thousands of dollars for.

Have you considered the fact that YOUR engine is going to be sent back for remanufacturing, with a core tag from the dealer with your VIN and the repairing dealer information?

When that engine is tore down, and it will be, someone is going to be asking the dealer some serious questions.

Once click of a button in Dearborn, and your Cobra is out of the "insurance you paid thousands of dollars for"....and the dealership that did you a "favor" is left holding the bill.

Did you see his earlier post regarding the day He Smoked that Engine?

This IS a Best Case Scenario - He is a Lucky Bastard - He gets a Running Car Back, No Cash Out of Pocket. That's the Trick. Once He's Out, go ahead - BILL HIM - BahHaHaHaHaHa !! ! ! !!!! ! Like You'll see THAT Check in the Mail :lmao:
Cancel His Warranty? - pfffftt - Already GOT His money out of That One.

FWIW - The Dealership is the One Holding the Bag on this one, and the Chances of the Rebuilding House Noticing or giving a damn are Slim and None. They think THEY Pulled off a Fast One "Sticking" YOU with a Reman.

Take the Money and RUN ! ! ! :biggthump

Im sorry but I dont see how purchasing a car gives you the right to modification insurance.

He got modification insurance when he bought the car.

The 3/36 new warranty on your remanufactured engine is a lucky break for you. I purchased a Dell computer @ my last house, moved to a new house and did not install it until 11 months after purchase. Then once installed the hard drive went out within a week. Called dell (India), and they sent tech to replace drive, worked for a month and went out again. Called dell and now I was 53 ~ 54 weeks since system delivery date and warranty was expired. Told them that the NEW hard drive they put in was defective and did not work more than a month and they said 1-yr warranty is on total system and not each individual part.

Although there might be better laws for consumers regarding automobiles, I know of people that replaced alternators just before warranty expiration and then had another one go just after warranty expiration and they did not goodwill the one after warranty expiration. So for you to get a new 3/36 is kind of lucky imo.

I never said Modification Insurance so don't put words in my mouth. I believe 9 out of 10 people on this site would have done the same as I did and I would totally be happy for them and would help in any way.

 

[cyac5l8trfcar]

When I got mine done they told me 5/50. look at the little owners manual they give you when you get the car back. Nice job getting it done. They made me bring mine to the dealer I bought it from. Did you have to do that?

 

[BIGONTS]

No, I purchased it used and don't know who was the original deal that sold the car.

One of the members on this board referred me to a dealership and a mechanic that works on his car. Good lookin-out

I'll give it about 1,000 break-in miles before I put anything back on it. I hate taking stuff off
