My parents have a Explorer and it too has had the motor replaced at 10,000 miles under warranty. It seems like all the dealers are the same when it comes to finding what's wrong. Beleive it or not most of the proplems I've had, I found someone else on here with the same problem and could fix it myself. The only reason I took it to Ford was in hopes that they would help in the $5000 for the motor, but they didn't. Oh well that's life live and learn to NEVER buy a Ford again! :p

But I still own two others besides the SVT.

1983 T-Bird (rusting in the woods at my parents)
1995 Mustang GT Convertible (Canary Yellow with a black top.) It a "GOOD" Ford sees about 3,000 miles a year. laugh
