Ok I’ll give you the race car EcoBoost might have more torque but if you keep the truck10 to 15 years the maintenance will cost you an arm and a leg between the cost of the turbo replacement and the timing chain problems.

I’ll keep my good old 5.0 thanks it does the job just fine and I have never averaged below 14 mpg

I don’t care either way, I say whatever floats your boat.

I'll keep my 5.3 too. Mainly because I'm poor white trash and don't have a choice...

 

[Russ989]

Nope

Pull your negative cable and see if it resets the machine.

Those are good engines, they run forever.

Maybe... but trading them before 100k solves that issue and keeps the trade value up. They cost too much to keep them for the miles I put on them.

My old Tahoe was 8mpg no matter what. Towing or coasting down hill with the motor shut off.

I don’t mind being a cheap date at all. My favorite drink is actually straight tequila. A bottle lasts me a long time. I don’t drink often though and when I do it is only one or two with rare exception. Guess that is why is I can only be an outsider in this thread. Hahaha.

We’ve had one 5.0 and it was an awesome engine. No issues what so ever. I love the sound it makes.

I’ve heard the stories about timing chains but there are stories for every engine out there. But I do have experience with 4 EB engines in the family and one is a 2011. We have a 4 vehicle fleet at work. All tow and work hard. Never once a timing chain issue now at 8 years and over one million miles out of the 8 vehicles. The 2011 had a catalytic converter fail. Two have been totaled in a wreck. If we experienced any reason to quit buying them, we would definitely stop.
