04 f-250 Diesel, 75k miles
engine blew on freeway, everyone says they have not heard of this prior:
6 months out of 5 year warr.
New re-man engine will be $14,400

Welcome to FTE!
Sorry to hear what happened to you.
Before you start putting your money together for a re-man engine, I think you should tell us what happened exactly. The meaning of "engine blew" brings all kinds of different pictures in my mind, but for me a blown engine is the one, where you can see the crankshaft through the side of the block....
So what happened?

Good questions. I wish I could answer in greater detail. The truck is in a Ford shop 200 miles away. At first, the thought was an injector problem, morphed into opening it up and valve/pistons. They are good folks, and my guys here have been in contact, they are all on the same page. I am trying to determine the best course. Thanks
