Stopped by dads last night and found he had a new toy in the garage. ...

its a 14 that never sold so they gave him a deal. He said his payments were lower than moms older toyota camry that he traded back in. I new it would be coming though since a few weeks ago when I showed up over there and he had a new tongue hitch pull behind slide out type camper. His Yukon just is too much of a gas hog!!! We will see if the ole ecoboost is all its cracked up to be I guess...
 
I drove a rental ecoboost F150 for a couple weeks and was pretty impressed with it. Never hauled or towed anything with it though. Also have one in my Escape...the small one is nothing to write home about. Nice looking truck.
 
My youngest works at a Ford dealership here. I'm concerned about the longetivity of the Ecoboost V6 engines. Plus they have the variable valve timing, too. I hear all kinds of nightmares about that. But, I also have to think that the ones having problems with the turbos and VVT are not changing there oil soon enough or often enough. However, I do like the new 5.0 coyote engine.
 
On another note. While the B is soaking the cylinders, I understand this engine is a wet sleeve design. My nieces husband drained all the fluids from the engine before putting it under cover. I'm concerned about the cylinder orings becoming dried up and no good. Any experience on this?

You are lookin' to get a case of project creep.

Pull the oil pan plug and fill the cooling system with water. Set a pan under it overnight.

No water in the pan and you should be good to go.
