Thanks for posting about it. Did the dealer provide any TSB or tech articles on how they diagnosed it as needing a replacement engine? Mine has the 5.0 "tick" as well and I will need to be fighting with my dealer about this in the near future... or trading my truck in.
Thanks

I have been happy working with Ford of Branford CT and they have taken care of me in the past, however I did need to direct them to a specific TSB for my last 2 issues.
It would be nice to go into this issue with some documentation from Ford that it is a known issue before "discussing" it with my dealer.

Thank you Crystal! I currently have around 31k miles. I will probably be holding off on any major repairs like this until after winter in New England.

All's well that ends well. My dealer was fantastic. They had the new engine ordered before I knew there was a serious problem. I went in thinking I had a bad injector.
It took 4 days to replace the engine but when I got her back she was washed, waxed and purring like a kitten. I'm very happy with the service I received.
Thanks Crystal. I keep you in mind if there's every another issue.

arrgh, at 16K my '14 has had it for most of it's 8 months. thought it was just me. Seems buying new Ford wasn't the best choice(btw my '01 only went to the shop for radiator and brake switch recalls).
Road trips are questionable now since I don't trust the thing.
At least until I can get it to the dealership. If they'll even fix it. arrgh.

My Dealer didn't find a TSB on the issue for the 2014 but had seen the problem on earlier trucks. He talked to the Ford engineers and ordered the long block.
I do a lot of driving with my job and he said the truck would be fine while I waited for the engine to come in. that only took 3 days.
