Engine Replacement

My 2004 F-350 6.0 is getting a new engine due to engine coolant consumption problem.It has been at the dealers 6 times since May24. They have already replaced the egr cooler and found no apparent cause of the coolant evaporating from the resivoir on top of the motor.Ford sent a field engineer to try to find the problem,but no luck.After a total of 40 something days in the shop ,they are now replacing the whole engine.Anyone have any similar experiences?

NONE !!!
Except to say after 30 days in the shop I would not be accepting a new engine - I'd want a replacement truck if I were in your shoes...

Which dealer - which vin....
