What is the problem with the injectors?

Getting the feeling that the whole top end was designed by the lowest bidder or first year engineer with no auto experience.

Lars, it may not effect your truck. Those of us with certain 2005 F150, F-Super Duty, Expy's and Navigators with the 5.4L 3V engine have injectors that MAY stick in the open or closed position. This, of course, can make your engine run badly, but if stuck open, I think can lead to hydro lock (which is pretty serious damage).

The warranty on the fuel injectors has been extended to 11 years or 120K miles.

Interestingly, the letter does not say anything about them being responsible for "collateral damage" should it occur, but I think Ford IS taking care of it (for now).
