Please Help F250 blown engine
I do no now if this is the appropriate forum but I bought a brand new f250 with the v-10 about a month ago. It never did quite idle right and every now and then it would not start. Well today my wife tries to start it and it doesn't start. It has been in the shop 3 times to diagnose this problem. It never happened to the dealer. Well after it didn'd start today she called the dealer and a service tech came out and said it was a bad starter. He got it started and was about a block away from the dealership and white smoke comes out of the tail pipe. To make a long story short valve number 7 has antifreeze in it. The coolant was leaking into the block.The motor oil was soopy. Motor is toast. Ford says they will replace engine. I want a new truck. It has only 500 miles on it and I bought a new truck not a used one. What do you guys think?
