SEIZED UP 2006 F150
My 2006 F150 with 77k seized up on friday. Sounds like a bad injector flooded the engine, caused hydrolock, and then bent a rod. I called the dealership today and they said the only fix is a new engine. Does anybody have any experience with getting a problem like this fixed and I thought I heard the 2005's had this problem and Ford extended their warranty? Need suggestions!!! I have 3 payments still left and now the dealership is telling me I gotta buy a new engine for $5,800.00.

Hey Michael,
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately the info you posted was for the 2005 F150' s and mine is a 2006 and I believe there is no campaign on the 2006 models. Have you hear of this problem on the 2006's? Was there a different injector used on the 06 versus the 05? I love my Ford truck. It was the first brand new and american made car I have every bought and this is breaking my heart.

You've got something i've never heard of on an 06.....not to say its not happened but i've never heard of it. Sadly, you are probably looking at a new engine.....i'd check out what some of the online places charge for a shortblock (or long block) and see what a private mechanic would charge to swap it out.....

Does the guy work on Fords a lot? I wouldn't let just anyone put a rod in your truck. I would compare labor rates with the dealer and let the dealer do it if possible. There can be a large difference in rates between dealers. The dealer I used to work at charges $105/hr and the new one charges $85/hr and they are only 15-20 miles apart. The dealer I'm at now is cheaper than some independent shops around.
