New Engine in my 05
Got my truck back today after Ford replaced the engine with 42k miles. Took it in for oil in the coolant and ended up with a new engine. The first thing I noticed was the turbo wistle. Never noticed it before. Seems to start faster and runs very quiet. Maybe something was wrong since it was new ?
Anyways I'm glad to have it back and hope this ends my problems with this 6.0.

Something to do with a big gapping hole in the side of the block and a missing piston or two. Sure am glad I bought this '04 engine as a spare.

Congrats on the new engine!
What did the repair invoice state was the issue? Did you get an OASIS report to see what they actually diagnosed as the problem(s)?

I assume you were running bio in your truck. Did the dealer discover that? How did you avoid that becoming an issue?
Not saying that would cause your problem, but I am surprised they didn't void you out because of it.
Good to hear anyway.

within any aftermarket add ons, or fuels, the issue HAS to be proven the add on or fuel caused the issue. i have had too many oil coolers to know this is a issue and not because of bio.
matt glad to hear you have your truck back.
