Did you try both directions?
If so pull the valve covers and look for a stuck valve.

I did, no go. I'm gonna go through the dealer for recourse now. It isn't beyond my ability to fix, but it is beyond my patience with a truck I've had 13 days.

Yes, they've been left out for a while.

Wow!
This sucks man, sorry to hear it.
I hope you have some luck with the dealer. Let us know.

Well, it's not hydrolocked now without glow plugs installed, so with it not budging, it probably is an oil, or lack thereof issue.
Does it have a Motorcraft filter? Have you changed the oil after purchasing? What does the oil look like? Full too?
As asked before, I take it you bought the truck "as is" and have no recourse with the seller?

Subscribing. I'm curious to know what the dealer tells you.

The dealer doesn't answer my calls. A lawyer did, though, so we'll see how it pans out.

A used lot. Seemingly reputable dealer, plenty of other trucks.
