I bought my 2012 Ecoboost for $4g Canadian not running then put new timing chain then it started right up took it for drive around the block then went to do a WOT boom! Number 5 piston is gone. bought a used engine for $6g with new timing chain install before I put it in the truck everything seems good now. after all the money I spent I still could of sell the truck and double the money but the Ecoboost is so fun to drive after custom tune.
Cool project and absolute steal at $2k. Based on how it sounded when you were cranking, I'd put some money that this thing jumped timing. There's a pretty well-known flaw with the timing components on these gen 1 EB motors and if not corrected it's possible to jump timing. Good luck, can't wait to see you tear into it!
If u need any motor work done like rebuilding heads or the motor I definitely Recommend RMB Motorworks. I have a engine done by him can’t wait to get it back soon. Please spray rust coating in corners of the cab behind the rear doors they WILL RUST OUT! This is a very nice truck and great deal to loose to rust
@@mischiefmotorworks yea no problem man that’s why my dad sold his 2010 platinum for a 16 XLT is because the corners started to rust out he patched it up then immediately traded it in and the dealer never knew.
@@mischiefmotorworks if you have a sunroof reroute the drains out of the cab corner, make sure third break light seal is good, remove factory tape behind rockers and spray inside car corner and rockers with fluid film and replace with new tape and you’ll be protected from rust
I have been looking at one of these trucks to purchase a used one. I'm leery of buying one with the EcoBoost motor. A twin-turbo V6 spells bad trouble IMO. I saw a nice condition one for sale I may go look at against my better judgment. I'm thinking the V8 is the way to go. But, I'll be following this to see what you encounter.
@@mischiefmotorworks Yeah, I can imagine. Plus, If you've ever had to replace a turbo, you know when they go bad, its big $$$. I had to replace one on my ex-wife's car when were married back in the early 90s and it cost 1500 bucks then. That truck has two so it kinda scares me.
That's a lot of truck for 2 grand and plus it is the Lariat trim package, it's crazy that the engine possibly failed with only 60k, I can't wait to see what happened to it
It probably just needs timing chains, tensioners, guides, and phasers put in it. These trucks are horrible about these problems so most likely jumped timing causing it not to start
Thanks for the advice! I’ve already torn into the engine and I will be releasing a video of what I find but it is not pretty looks like owner highly neglected maintenance.
The key to high mileage ecos are oil changes. Ford recommended 10k when I bought my '13 but that's bs. I change mine at 5k with full synthetic and Motorcraft oil filter. Mine only has 94k but it's running strong and the only issue I've had is replacing the valve covers.
I have the same 2011 ecoboost any tips and recommendations as to what you did specifically maintenance to reach that many miles? Mines only has 68k on so far, planning to keep her for long
No, it doesn’t watch the videos. I literally pull the engine and you can see there are two turbos. If you’re gonna write a hate comment at least be informed.

I’ve already torn into it…will release a video on it but let’s just say I don’t think it had an oil change for about 40k miles.
I wouldn’t these the turbos go out the cause them to come apart an then everything goes inside motor
@@mischiefmotorworks Oof. Can't wait to see that!
Underrated channel fr keep up the good work bro
Thanks I really appreciate it!
Can’t beat the way the 6.7 diesel pulls

I will definitely checkout RMB out! And thanks for the pointer on spraying protective coating behind the cab!

From what I have heard Ecoboost aren’t too fun to work on, but everybody I talk to says they pull amazing.

That buck was massive!
Yeah it was, just walked right up behind us.
Can’t wait to see the tear down of this motor and see this truck come a long way from where it is now
I don't see any other videos for the finished product. How'd did it turn out?
Videos will be released soon
Can't wait to see the turbo that welded itself in place
That's a lot of truck for 2 grand and plus it is the Lariat trim package, it's crazy that the engine possibly failed with only 60k, I can't wait to see what happened to it
I would’ve stored the slack in the strap exactly like that too after being tired of hand winching that truck on the trailer 😂
Haha I was exhausted I didn’t really care if the slack flew out.

Honestly it sound like timing issues cam phasers probably just the timing job sixty thousand miles the lower-end should be good
Excellent find man.
63K miles with that many issues? This thing was not loved at all. I have a 2011 with the 1st gen Ecoboost and am about to pass 300K miles.
Will be releasing another video soon of the engine tear down…let’s just say it’s not pretty.

Great price interior alone is worth more than 2k😂😂
Don’t pump the gas on a new vehicle when trying to start it. Even if it’s not going to start
The engine was already shot and I knew that so I didn’t really care…just wanted to try to start it so i didn’t have to winch it onto the trailer.
Wow 2k is so cheap!
I know its crazy cheap!
Buying a ford is like paying someone to kick you in the nuts over and over and over and over. I don’t know why anyone would want to pay for that
Lmao
Twin Turbos? No, the raptor has twin turbos, regular f150 has a single turbo...
No, it doesn’t watch the videos. I literally pull the engine and you can see there are two turbos. If you’re gonna write a hate comment at least be informed.
My Regular F150 has Twin Turbos. Not just raptors.. damn bro, u dum.
