I think this is what gets me. Properly torqued or not, properly maintained or not, this is a DIESEL engine with severe use applications. What happened to good old tried and true iron? LOL Anyways, I just hope Ford does right by the PO.

 

Iron probably cost $.05 more

 

I was coming home from a camping trip back in April towing our 5er with my 2011 F250 and the engine started knocking. Got loud...quick! Pulled over and shut it down. Towed to a Ford dealer (by a damn Dodge) and upon teardown, #2 and #6 main bearings spun. 2 and 6 share a journal on the crank. No known cause as to why. 48k miles and impeccable maintenance. Short block replaced under warranty. Got it back and traded on a 2016 F350 DRW the next day.

 

You mean 2 & 6 ROD bearings - right?

 

Yes...sorry for the confusion.

 

I HAVE a 2012 with 40,000 Main Bearing went bad they had to do a Short Block Under warranty They have had truck NINE weeks On have two tecs Ford is not doing much for me Truck was $ 65,000 I heard the are having problems with Oil delusion 10 percent diesel getting in fuel after 6000 miles Witch i change my oil every 5,000 with amsoil

 

My went bad too What a pain my truck only had 40,000 ford does really not want to help me Only warranty has been Nine weeks

 

Ford doesn't want to help you? Isn't warranty coverage Ford's help for you? Are you having to pay any money?

 

They are doing Short Block Under warranty Yes But What i am saying truck has been at dealer for NINE weeks !! And they are only giving me 12,000 miles or one year Warranty on New Short Block. I was 3 1/2 hours away from home Had rent a car to get home $150 , I have not had truck in nine weeks If i had to rent a truck would cost 900 per month plus .45 a mile . So what they offered me was 1000 bucks Or Two years on Motor Only Really only one extra year ? . I take care of my cars and truck this only had 40,000 on it Mint . Truck listed over 64,000 in 2012 . I have a f250 2002 with 167,000 on it , Yes not paying any money to get it fixed But what has it cost me . Truck was under warranty

 

Have you sent a PM to FordService on here so they might can get the Regional manager to help you?

 

Hi Yes Been talking with James for Six Weeks He is Regional Manager ! They should do more for me . It will be Nine weeks tomorrow . And once they fix it One Year or 12,000 thats it I think going just take 1,000 and call it a day With Ford We have 2002 7.3 with 167,000 a 2000 excursion with 100000 miles a 1965 Mustang and a 1957 F 600 Just real up set that they will not do more and do not care They offered me One payment on truck I paid truck off in one year so they said take 63,000 divided x 60 thats what you get

 

9 weeks is a long time. They made you an offer you have to decide to take it or leave it. At least they're talking to you. Short of having them drop to their knees and giving you a happy ending and maybe a repaired truck what do you want from them?

 

Yes Long time If i had to rent a truck would cost me 900 per month and .45 per mile Also cost me 150 rent a car to get home . If you were in my shoes you would want them to do better On a Short Block Warranty is only one year or 12,000 I really think your not getting my point . I spent a lot of money on my King Ranch list was over 65,000 so do not take it wrong

 

Why is it taking so long to repair? Is it a dealer problem vs a Ford problem?

I can't imagine it taking 9 weeks to drop a new engine in.

I bought a 2003 6.0L one of the first in the state, It's tranny lost a gear 30 days after I got the truck. No replacement trannys any where in the west. Ford over nighted a new tranny and I had the truck back in less than a week, including shipping time. And somebody paid for the rental truck I drove that week.

either my dealer took good care of me, or Ford did.

 

Well Only Two Diesel Techs Plus if there is Five trucks in front of Me All with Motors Long Block or short. They way it works Pull truck in Take cab off Now lift can not be used for other trucks Now they have to take apart motor to see what happen. Now they have to see what went wrong Get Long Or Short Block Now Oder Motor Wait to it comes in While Bay is full with truck on lift
