I had the same issue. Needed a new radiator just beyond the 36,000 mile bumper to bumper.
The diesel warranty and the additional diesel care plus extended warranty are very specific in what is covered. Basically, anything bolted to the block and transmission is covered.
Luckily, I only have needed the one radiator so far. I went through 4 on my last truck.
My local dealership and the ford area rep covered about half of my radiator cost for me.

There are so many things that have the potential to go wrong on these trucks. Especially with all of the electronics involved which is the exact reason I paid for the bumper to bumper 125,000 mile warranty for the first time. The repairs to these trucks and the probability that they could happen to me are just too expensive to gamble with.
