[QUOTE="1wild-horse, post: 16154432, member: 84197"] I disagree only because the 5.0 was a p.i. engine first. They are using dual injection on the 18's and forward, yeah maybe it cleans the valves but the engineers said it was mainly for efficiency not power. Which is fine, that is the way of the future, better fuel economy. From a technician standpoint, my comment, they ****ed up a good thing.. We have had several DI Ecoboost that will foul the plugs just from moving them around on the lot. Never a 5.0, until now. Had a 2018 that wouldn't start. Yep, fouled the goddamn plugs. Although an easy task, it has complicated a simple system. Now there are two systems you need to diagnose and it will most likely prove to be difficult to isolate a fuel issue. I'm also not trying to tie DI to the oil consumption issue. Probably unrelated, but again wasn't an issue when the 5.0 was first released so I think they regressing and not making the engine better. In time though I'm sure they will work it out, this is growing pains. [/QUOTE]
