For starters I have a 2006 F-250 with a 6.0 and about 58,000 miles on it. Since I'm a diesel mechanic I'm very thorough with maintence since I know all the problems with this engine, but untill now no major problems with it. We were driving home from a great week of camping and thought the only worries we had was going to work on Monday. Truck was running great like it always has and then all of a sudden a bang, a miss, some smoke, and no power. Of corse this had to happen while towing the BH. Lucky for me I was only about 50 miles from home, so I called a friend to come and take the BH home for me, and then had the truck towed to the Ford dealer that does all of the warranty work for me. 2 days later they called and said it was a bad injector and I would have the truck back the next day. The next day came and went and no truck. The next moring the dealer calls and says it still has a dead cylinder with no compression and they have to pull the head to find out why. The next call from them was to tell me that they found a broken exhaust valve and it needs 1 head and a block, but we all have to wait for the area Ford rep to come and look at it and verify what happened for it to be covered under thier warranty. So here I sit truckless waiting for Ford. ( updates to follow )
