Blown Head Gasket

Hey,

New to the diesel thing. I have a 2005 f-250 with the aem workhorse, diablo sport predator, and a straight pipe from the turbo back. Took it to Jim Tidwell Ford in kennesaw GA and they said it was a blown head gasket caused from the aftermarket stuff. They said it would cost 10,000.00 dollars to fix because the warranty was void and would not cover it.
Any ideas? Are they wrong or am I just screwed?

Thanks,


Ryan Chastain

Hey Ryan, sorry about the bad news.
Check the threads in the 2003 - 2007 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum107/
I`m sure it`s been discussed many, many times as it`s common.
Also swing an intro in your local Ga chapter: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum82/
