new to diesels truck was ideling just died wont restart no code ford tech said needs motor wont pump to filter tech held something down and stil no oil
tech also said piece of metal in something with a screen under truck
I would say it's critical that the metal part that was found be identified. Hopefully the tech that found it didn't just toss it in the trash.
This This is a link to powerstrokehelp.com where Bill describes a lifter head doing a bunch of damage (disclaimer: I know a lot don't like Bill, I have zero opinion on the guy, just posting the vid for illustration).
Some other part might have broken that's not as catastrophic to repair.
Or, if a part was left inside the engine after some work was done maybe you'd have some recourse (maybe like a small screw or washer or something that wasn't noticed).
I think you need to identify that piece to make a good decision on what to do next. Best of luck. I hope it all works out good for you to be sure!!
