THIS IS A PROBLEM FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2005. THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT IDENTIFIED THIS DESIGN FLAW BACK THEN AND STILL TO THIS DAY REFUSE TO HELP COMPENSATE CONSUMERS FOR REPAIRS. THE HEAD BOLTS STRETCH ALLOWING FOR THE HEAD GASKETS TO FAIL. I ASKED FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE IF I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO A AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER IF THEY WOULD ABSORB SOME OF THE EXTENSIVE COST FOR REPAIRS ( 5-6000 DOLLARS). THEIR RESPONSE WAS NO, BECAUSE WE HAVE NO RECALLS ON THIS. IN MY OPINION THEY HAVE KNOWINGLY ALLOWED THIS ENGINE TO BE MANUFACTURED AND SOLD TO THE PUBLIC EVEN THOU THESE DESIGN FLAWS WERE PRESENT. THAT IS PLAIN UNACCEPTABLE. I ASK YOU TO GO ON THE INTERNET. TYPE IN FORD 6.0 DIESEL AND SEE HOW MANY FORUMS COME UP. YOU WILL SEE CASE AFTER CASE OF FAILURES. I AM LEFT WITH THIS REPAIR COST, AND WITH NO RELIEF FROM FORD. *TR
