What engine Would You Chose? (Poll)

[zouch]

hey, just curious; do you have any link(s) to any authoritative documentation showing exactly how much higher a "much higher" failure rate is per unit? we hear this parroted about, but don't recall ever seeing any real numbers.

i hear noise about the "failure rate" of the EcoDs, but have never seen any real numbers.
aside from mine (which failed early, about 30K miles ago), i know there have been one or maybe 2 others on this board, and i haven't heard much of the kind of loud screaming i'd expect from anyone/everyone that had theirs fail.

if the numbers are high enough, i might be scared away from 440+ lb/ft of torque and 22+ MPG on 37s.

Has your fuel pump failed yet? How many miles in those 2 years? Wheeling tough trails or dd or mall crawling? The 2019 with the 2.0t ran tough trails all over the country, multiple 1k+ mile road trips, and was the wife's dd, all on 37s or 38s. 0 issues, 0 time in the shop. Unfortunately it was stolen with 64k miles on it. The 2022 is at 26k miles on the 3.6L same use case, now on 39s, again trouble free. An example of one 3.0ED without issue is pretty meaningless when they have a documented failure rate much higher than either of the others. Are their more 3.6L failures total, probably but they outsell the ED like 1,000-1.

Nope. Has your water pump? Rocker arms and camshaft? Head gasket? Clutch? Oil leak form main rear bearing?

I think the 2.0 and 3.6 are good engines.

My 3.0 has never been in the shop and I only know 1 of 2 that were in the shop because of the actual engine. Oil leaks. Fuel pump is like transfer case or even transmission is not part of the very well made 3.0 Ecodiesel.

No I only know a couple of failed fuel pumps. Mine is fine. Will get it replaced some time this Winter or next Spring in no hurry.

I am not giving up my power on the highway because of the fuel pump which will be replaced at some time. Like today the power at 60 mph and turbo spun up is unsurpassed I needed the power to get away from really dumb people.
