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.

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?

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.
