Updated part number for the problematic front cross over pipe (is a new design one piece the “flaw” in the old designs split at the middle of the seam because it was two piece)
109402 is the new per the below.
Luckily mine failed in my garage literally. I was topping off coolant and noticed it start pouring down under the car. Had it towed to the dealership and found out the “front coolant crossover pipe under the supercharger” is leaking. My water pump was also leaking.
Guess the pipe seeping for a while until it just let go.
The tech says these fail often and suddenly and start leaking around 60k miles. It’s been a issue on all the 3.0/5.0 engines on all the models. He said many engines are overheated and some beyond repair because this pipe lets go quickly and by the time the temperature alerts you it is already usually too late. He was surprised mine lasted so long I’m almost at 95k. The shop time for both the water pump and this pipe was 12 hours labor.
The extended warranty covered the repair which was $2100. To this date the extended warranty has paid out over $10k in repairs over the last year and half. I purchased the contract for around $8k. I have two more years left on it.
For those without warranty the hose can be found online for around $100. I am sure an Indy will charge around $1000. I do not have the repair order on me right now but I will post the part numbers for the DIY guys later. You have to remove the supercharger to do this hose so it can be a good time to do the snout as well and change the oil for the SC.
