We experienced this exact scenario when towing our 3800lbs camper. On accel from a stop, it feels like a vibration in the driveline. Dealer saw irregular shift patterns in the trans, so pulled and completely rebuilt it. Still having the same issue. I'm curious as to if there is a TSB for this...

No white letters?? 😩

They’ve sold more XL’s than the higher trim levels. They had to do something to encourage upsells.

Nope, open, just like the 2.3.

2.0 & 2.3 share the same block and head design.

100%

Welp.

Visibly. It always looked clean.

The EGR cooler was actually replaced. Although it made no difference at all.

Well, they pressure tested and replaced the EGR cooler, claiming that it was leaking. However, I continued to see the coolant level drop below the minimum. Finally, they used a boriscope to look into the cylinders and well, you know the rest.

Yep. That’s correct. Over $2,000 damage to the truck.

That’s exactly what I said. The salesman here at the dealer said they had a 25 Escape do the same thing. I don’t believe Ford fixed this problem.

10/24 build date. Black plastic engine cover. Cleveland engine plant. Just over 30k

No. Not at all

Yes sir it is. However, it’s incredibly concerning. The service manager said this was the first 2.3 he had seen do this. They supposedly fixed this issue.

My 24 XL (31,500m) has been low on coolant several times. Each time, the dealer checks and can find nothing wrong. Welp, today three days before we are supposed to tow our camper 2,000 miles, I went for an oil change, and to have fluids checked. The found the leak, coolant in cyl#2. Not a lot...

Mine got torn right out of the roof. Make sure you use a touchless wash.

Here’s a simple explanation. I’m sure you could find more by doing a search. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/exactly-how-does-a-bypass-valve-work.23682/

You guys do understand that every time you start your truck cold, the oil bypasses the filter Until it gets warm right?

Me too. Here in cold Central Pa.
