NIGHTMARE SITUATION
I have a 2013 F-250 6.7. Posting here because the engine is a Brand new 2019 with a 2019 Turbo.
Long Story short, turbo went out, had a 2019 turbo put on as a replacement. Shop I had do it, completely screwed the job up, I picked the truck up, drove it 30 miles and engine completely locked. (Lawsuit going on-they gave me nothing of my $5000 back with no help on damages caused)
Had another ”reputable shop” replace the engine with a brand new 2019 Longblock from ford parts, 2019 BrandNew Turbo from Ford parts, had everything redone.
$15,000 and 3k miles Later, I started to get coolant in my oil slowly. Coolant levels depleting slowly. Loud ticking in the engine. It’s been back to the same shop 4 times and they have an excuse for every problem such as “the milky oil must be from condensation in the crank when we had the engine off”. NOTHING is under warranty because the truck has been fully deleted since 40k miles. It is now at 150k.
As of yesterday, I was down 2 quarts of oil, coolant continuously added, heat stopped working same day, ticking noise getting louder, and if I remove the oil fill cap with engine idling I can hear a burst of air come out with white vapor/smoke.
I’ve had such a run-around with this truck and have such a distaste in my mouth for shops right now I don’t know what to do. If anyone could help with suggestions to what could be going on I would appreciate it so much.

I guarantee FORD CORPORATE or DEALER will want a tear-down fee and then turn down the claim saying the outside shop did something wrong.

A 2019 long block and turbo in a 2013..
Interesting
So with the 2013 engine, what caused it to go?
Ford isn't going to cover regardless who installed if deleted.
The dice was rolled and came up snake eyes.

cyclododecane is a chemical compound with the formula c12h24
C12H24 the member who posted no good for warrenty because of his past experience knowledge.
I figure anyone with a chemical name straight out of the periodic table is a good bet to be right.
Stay safe Mike, good "seeing ya" over at the corona thread
