What Jeeps were air cooled? Besides the m422 mighty mite series? I don’t know of any others.

All ICE cars are air cooled

Lol

Damn two FE failures in back-to-back posts? Sorry guys. Let’s get these reported to NHTSA so the story gets bigger and puts some pressure on Ford to tell us what’s going on.

Perhaps you want to brush up on your understanding of engine types.

Oh and here I thought the heat exchangers cooled water with air. But what do I know

Hint, one has fins, one has jackets, there will be a test after you watch the video.

@BroncocnorB , we are not talking about how the radiator gets cooled but how the engine cylinders and block get cooled, standard industry terminology for 120 years.

Air is still the cooling medium. You’re thinking too narrowly

 

[Techun]

You're being pedantic.

By your definition is there anything not air cooled? Or space cooled?

Yeah! That's right. My ICE engine is ice cooled.

What do you think the chances that Ford will extend the warranty on all of the 2021 2.7L EcoBoost engines? I have a Specialized Turbo Levo electric mountain bike, and they had a problem with Brose electric motor failures. SO, Specialized extended the warrant of all Turbo Levo bikes with that motor for an additional 4 years.

While my Julian Date seems to be out of the danger zone, I would feel a lot better if I knew that Ford would stand behind their Nano for at least 5 years from valve train failures.

How many 2.7L engines are produced at the Lima plant daily?

No. I’m just pointing out what is correct. Water jackets and fins are a means of distribution of cooled air or water. With a heat exchanger it’s still air. And it’s not pedantic. But whatever. This thread is about 2.7 issues.

 

[BroncoB]

Oh yeah, hence why I've been watching this thread closely. I would prefer if nothing was wrong and it lives a long, happy life. I really wouldn't want the heads to be replaced under warranty if I don't have to. No sense in tearing apart a perfectly good engine if there's no reason to.

I would rather have the heads replaced than risk a RUD and having countless other problems. Plus the potential RUD anxiety sucks. Will this be the day?

 

[NotApplicable]

No, I am pretty sure that is already true.

So here's something I noticed today as I was waiting on some food.

I was leaning on the rear passenger tire and felt a shudder with a period of approximately 1.5 seconds at idle. I popped the hood, and sure enough, you could see a mild shudder generated by the engine that was very regular and predictable. So this was with the motor fully warmed up and idling, does anyone else have it going on?

I don't remember it before, everything is still pretty quiet, but putting my hand on the rear passenger tire, the shudder was unmistakably there. I am wondering if it is a possible warning sign or just normal operation.

Hmm. I actually think I may notice something similar in mine! Any new info? I too don’t know if it’s new or has been going on for the entire 5600 miles.

I noticed today in the cold when the vehicle was warming up that this roughly corresponded with tiny gaps in the amount of exhaust being produced by the vehicle.

1,000 per day, give or take in 2021, increasing in 2022 to 1,500 per day.
