No, let's keep it open and see where it goes. Sometimes it takes a couple of days for a poster to meander back here and give an update.

I know a few members that have warranty repairs done out of the 21,295 2011 mustang gt made.I feel the #8 failure has been blown way out of proportion.JMOThat should be the case yes. If it does, it's a manufacturer problem and should be covered under warranty regardless.

Definitely right. Any time the transmission is out, a crank relearn must be done. The work order from having my transmission replaced has a crank relearn on it.
With the sophistication of the new PCM's if something isn't repaired properly, you can certainly cause damage to an engine.
There was a case over at TMS not too long ago of a stock car going in for a transmission replacement and immediately going back after the car was returned for a popped motor. This car as well had the #8 piston fail.
People get hung up on that #8 though. It's the hottest slug in the engine, so it's only natural that it would go first if something wasn't running correctly.
Ok, so my dealer contacts me and says I have one of eight codes that show up if you've had a tune. I tell him I didn't have a tune but Ford said you did too bad. So he tells me its probably going to be 9k for a new motor. I'm of course pissed and begin to search. I find a tsb that tells dealers if they see one of these codes there is a process to correct it. This tells me that you do not have an aftermarket tune for this to happen... I then speak to a buddy that said "didn't you just get your trans replaced?" I say yes and he mentioned that if something was put back or calibrated it could have caused this issue. Since my damn exhaust wasn't even connected back properly I see that as very possible. Last my service guy calls me today and says that the number seven is messed up too. Now I'm like WTF! I'm going to try and get in there today and take pics. I'm not going to let them blame me for something I didn't do. To those of you that mentioned my other post. The clips weren't in, the whole damn box wasn't open! So drop that. I drive my car like a mustang is to be driven... I never power shift or take it to those extremes. Last if the damn car can't take 87 don't put out there that it can.
Like my stock tune... lolThat sucks man. I hope it gets figured out for you. I know I would shit if this happened to me. My car is tuned by AED, but I have logged the shit out of it while it was stock and now with the tunes. And from what Shaun told me, it all looks good from the logs. So maybe your car would have survived if it was tuned with a proper tune. Sucks to think about. I know people have logged the stock tune, and the results were surprising. The stock tune showing knock and everything.
What is the Code they say is present?
I agree 100%,tell the truth,get a lawyer and sue their ass!if you didnt have a tune ,,id lawyer up and sue there ass!!! thats total B.S ,,,,,,,,,,
The PCM is like the BLACK BOX and all the information is stored there if his 5.0 had a aftermarket tune installed.i wonder why they would say u have a tune? Doesnt ford have away to find out for sure? i think they do from what i understand. Once u have a tune, there is no way to clear it. I would try another dealer. i find it hard to believe a dealer would make this up. anything is possiable though.
