Who has the most miles with a "Hot Zone" 2.7L engine date code?

[bytheway]

13,236 on my 209er

Good to see another healthy 209. I think 5 blown were that day. Makes no rhyme or reason why some are fine and some aren’t. I’m at 99xx problem free miles on mine. Heading out on a road trip next week.

About 3,000 miles on mine came from a road trip to Arizona this summer. Did a little trail riding as well and it performed flawlessly.

yeah, like you never popped a hood before

I mean, I used the kick stand on my soft top yesterday.

21214 with a little over 9K miles and no issues so far. What's the unofficial official hot zone range? I've been off the forums for a few months now.

I'm at 23,381 still no engine problems. How is everyone else doing?

I was towards the end of the bad engines, I think like final week of manufacture dates. I'm at 43,600 miles without issue "knock on wood".

My 21214 has a little less than 11,000 and seems to be holding up fine.

I just rolled 12k on my hot zone 2021 2.7, all is well.

just over 36,000 and not a problem. No "baby" miles, either. Middle of the zone, if I recall

Holy guacamole. Glad to see it's all good!

I hit 31,000 over the weekend on my 209er.

Still wish Ford would come out publicly with what the official culprit was and an estimated number of those that are effected by it.

Everything was fine till you resurrected this thread

Picked up my 2021 B.D on April 2nd, 2023, with 7350 miles on it.
Date coding: 21214 codes out to Aug. 2nd 2021. Hot-Zone I presume.

Mileage now is 10,425 and fingers crossed, knocking on wood too.
Still has a new car smell too

But runs fine and is strong with the Ford Performance Tune.
And sounds good with a FlowMaster Axle-Back exhaust.

21211 with 11,888mi. Did have my fuel pump go on me in the middle of no where Oregon desert. Bronkey has a long way to go to gain my trust.

38,200 with 21195.
