    Sounds like you bought a lemon truck.
    152K miles on our 3.5 EB and nothing other than some AC parts as normal maintenance, first 50K if it’s life it was a rental.

    There’s been some changes made since the 1st gen Ecoboosts. The 10 speed trans is new and the engine was redesigned. Different turbos are used now too.

    Also, the early ecoboosts had problems getting water in the turbos when it'd rain but I think by like 2012 they fixed that

    So they didn’t tell me what specifically is wrong, but it seems like it’s the wastegate on the turbo that’s rattling. Sounds like this

    Depends on the year. It’s ‘18+ 5.0s. My neighbors had issues with 2 of his work trucks. Mustangs are having the same problem

    The turbos don’t fail like people seem to believe. Mine is getting replaced due to the wastegate rattling.

    Our patrol cars have the 3.5 Ecoboost and no turbo failures have happened. Some of them have well over 5k engine hours on them.
