I have a 2013 Ford Explorer Sport with 3.5 Ecoboost motor. Will a motor from a 2015 fit?

Asked by Sandy0935 Dec 20, 2016 at 02:01 PM about the Ford Explorer Sport

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The engine had a lot of carbon build up and caused the fuel injectors stick.  I
got those fixed and I have nothing but problems with it ever since.  I was
advised by shop to change my fuel grade and also put a cleaner supplement
when fueling.  I did this and now the motor, turbo's and the catalytic
converter are all toast.  Note: I only have 69,000 + miles on this motor!  The
extended warranty people will pay $1900.00 towards the repair.  The cost of
the repair is at $13,000.00.  I am a single mom with no extra income and
need some help!  The shop told me if I could find a salvage motor it would be
much cheaper.  I have found a 2015 explorer sport with the same motor 3.5
Ecoboost, but I don't know if this will work.  Can someone please help with
this question?

Why does the warranty cover so little? What exactly happened to the engine? The newer engine would probably work but have your mechanic verify that before you buy it.
