F250SD DIESEL ABOUT 65 MI.S.OF ELI,NV. THE CK ENGINE SYMBOL CAME ON,SO I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE ENGINE,[MAYBE 1 GAL.]. OIL WAS COMING OUT OF PLASTIC COOLANT OVERFLOW BOX. NO OIL SHOWED ON CHECK STICK. I GOT 2 GAL OF OIL FROM SOMEONE PASSING BY AND LIMPED INTO ELI NV. THE PICKUP SEEMED TO RUN OK AND NO OTHER WARNINGS SHOWED. [I WATCHED TEMPS CLOSELY]. TURNED OUT THE OIL COOLER INTERNAL [UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD] SPRUNG A LEAK AND FORCED OIL INTO THE COOLANT SYSTEM. MY TRUCK WAS BARELY OVER THE 5 YR. WARRANTY SO NO HELP THERE FROM FORD. I ALWAYS WANTED A FORD DIESEL BUT NOT ANYMORE. COST $2200. FOR REPAIRS, AND LOST 3 WEEKS WITH THE TRUCK. HAD TO HIRE A U-HAUL TO GET HOME TO BOISE AND COME BACK FOR MY PICKUP. MY QUESTION IS WHY NO HELP FROM FORD? I STILL HAVE THE BAD COOLER. *TR
