Motor Replacement in 2008 E350
I just bought a 15 passenger e350 with 29000 miles on it. I did a car fax search prior to the purchase and discovered that the motor had been replaced 9,000 miles earlier at a local Ford dealer. I thought this was a good thing since the engine has only 9000 miles on it. It is the 5.8 ltr. I have the same motor in my Expedition.
Any common failures that I should know about. My Epy has about 40000 with no problems.
the price was the same for 6 vans at the auction. I just did a little more home work than maybe the other buyers. I hope this was a wise choice.
No other issues were addressed on the report. So no other warranty issues were documented. Other wise I would have avoided the van.
Thanks for your input.

The dealership that changed the motor is not far from me. I will call them and see if they can give me some info. Ford would not warranty a motor if it was abused or neglected. You are right, my mistake on the 5.8, I did mean to say 5.4.
