Hm, I must be lucky with mine then. 176,000 miles and no leaks.

 

Last spring I worked out in Barstow/FT Irwin, CA for a month and the vehicle I used out in the desert the entire time was a Ford F150 Ecoboost V6, I was beyond impressed. If that engine was in a JK, I don't think there would be a market for V8 upgrades. The Ecoboost has everything we would want in a motor, hp, torque, better mileage, and reliability. It has more of everything than the new Pentastar for starters.

 

we just bought a ford f150 with the ecoboost, its very impressive, we raced it agains out 6.2 chevy and i was a very good race , the 6.2 only had about a half a pikup lenght on it in a quater mile!!

 

This. Modern turbo setups have progressed vastly in last 10 years. People are to stuck on the misconception that turbo engines due to the old days when turbo setups were always about the biggest turbo possible. The new smaller turbos being produced today have no lag and anyone that has driven a new turbo BMW can attest to it. The new BMW turbo's start building boost as low as 1,500 RPM! For example at 1,500 RPM it's producing 150 ft/lbs and at 2,000 rpm its producing 215 FT/lbs. I think that alone puts to rest the notion of turbo lag.

 

How is it better than the 3.8?
