My post wasn’t to prove that they are unreliable. Just wondering of issues that people have had for reference.
I decided on this engine based on my past experiences with the older 2.3s. They all have been tough and lasted the duration for the ones I have had.
My opinion it’s the better choice...
I’ve had mine going on a year. 15-16k miles. No issues up to this point. I have an older 2004 ranger non turbo 2.3 that gave me right at 200k miles before major failure. I believe it would have lasted longer but I got it when i was a teenager, gave it little maintenance and a lot of neglect. I...

I live on a gravel road so...
I understand the results of the test, but what’s the value of doing it on a new engine? If there is high levels of anything I doubt the service Dept will replace the motor until it breaks. I’ve been a gear head my entire life. I’ve had engines blow etc.. but if there is an internal issue, it...
I did try it on my 2023. It doesn't work. It just throws errors. Doesn't show up on the goat mode selection. Once you rotate the selector past two or three modes its closes down the goat mode selection screen.
