There is no definitive answer to that. I know Ford claims to sell more trucks than anyone, but the ratio of engine failures is higher than Chevrolet engines or Dodge engines. This ratio goes up in the Truck category.

I have heard that certain aftermarket engine oil filters can cause engine failures in Ford engines. Other complaints related are to fires spontaneously starting for no apparent reason. Unsolved. Spark plugs blown right out of the head seems to be a common complaint too.

For the most part I think a lot of the problems are maintenance related. Except for the 6.0 liter diesel engine fiasco when that engine was introduced in 2002. Maintenance can’t fix a defect or flaw built into an engine from the factory. Only some research and development can produce reliable fixes for flaws and defects from the factory. (6 Liter diesel).

Got Engines.com is a nationally known company that only deals with the cream of the crop as far as Ford rebuilt engines go. They are very particular what company supplies rebuilt engines for them. They go through a lot of hoops to qualify that the rebuilt engines they sell have the problems built out of them. Their warranties prove it.

Used engines are another story. GotEngines.com has ways of making sure the used Ford engine you get is not one of the flawed ones. Using common tools like Car Max and other more involved methods, they can determine through serial numbers and the VIN (vehicle identification numbers) if this motor was a problem from the git go and if the problems were corrected by the factory. The used engines, particularly Fords are put through a rigorous pre-testing procedure and then certified to be a quality replacement engine, with a confidence building warranty.
