Seat those rings right, rip on that shit out of the stealership when you get it back!

I think if oil was low, he would have spun a bearing. Not shatter a piston.

yeah, the cold air setup is the issue.

both posts above are correct

Drive it like you intend it to be used. Ive drove my car hard from the start.

Yup, me too! Took it out of the dealership sideways with 242 miles on her!:rockon:

Just curious, had you went WOT right before, then let out and cruising, then lost power or were you literally just coasting the whole time?

Another one bites the dust. Glad its all getting taken care of.

I don't think it makes sense to even discuss potential reasons. It might just be a production defect in the piston or rod. Luckily your car wasn't modded but unless you had a blower installed, no mod could ever justify shattering of internal parts. I think even a slightly modded coyote would still be covered under warranty with such failure.

Dude that sucks and your right this is rare. U should be good with the new motor. U obviously got a bad motor from the start it happens. If I was u I would run the shit out of the new motor right from the start. Not that it would of helped save your old motor but I'm a big believer in a hard break in. I'm at 25k stock motor supercharged.
Good luck

stock tune?

Wow that is crazy.
Sorry you had to go through that with a brand new car.
My advice is to break it in hard but not right out of the dealership lol.
Dont give the dealership people any reason to give you a hard time with future warranty work

Id order a Ford racing 625 kit and tell em to put it on the new motor:rockon:

 

[Competition]

Break the new one in like a man. My car was making 1/4 mile passes with 100 miles on the odo.

This isn't the 1st motor gone bad all stock. There's been a few out there in the 11 an 12 5.0s

Since I have 22 posts, I have "0" credibility and I'm lying? Really??

Some people think everyone is a troll...lol

I see...lol I know there's a bunch of haters out there with nothing better to do but troll. This seriously happened to me and I'm outta My Mustang for at least 2 weeks. As long as Ford is fixing the problem, I'm alright with it.

Engine failures, while statistically improbable, do happen. I'm not sure why his story is so hard for you to believe. It happens with all types of cars. Stuff breaks.
