Head gasket replaced before programmer installed. No problems since except for diesel smell in cab.

I just turned over 80k, and it's blowing coolant. They are saying it's a head gasket, but they are still looking at. They truck has not been running good since the turbo was replaced at 55k. I've never had a chip or other mods.

I'm meeting with a Ford rep, and I hope the dealer will work something out with me. I have no confidence with what I have now. I'm still backwards, to trade it in on something else.

There is another missing catagory: programmer with no problems...I would have checked that one as well. As of now the survey seems biased.
