Jeez, that's terrible. Just another example of modern day "mechanics" who can't diagnose a problem and just throw parts and money at it until they finally fix it or the owner gives up... At least you can finish your trip and get home now. Good luck and drive safe.
Thanks spoon, I don't really blame the garage too much. I think they tried as best as they could. What amazes me is this came directly from the Ford guru that's supposed to be the expert. They're guessing what the problem is at the consumers expense. What really bugs me is I'm about to take a hit on a nice truck and there might not be anything worst than a head gasket.
Yea, I'd give Ford the middle finger. They are guessing at repairs which is no big deal because they aren't paying for it. The dealer should diagnose first, then repair, not the other way around. I hate to hear when diesels have troubles, because they can cost so much to fix. My uncle had a very similar issue with his truck, and I could have bought two long blocks and had them installed in my truck for what he paid to repair his diesel Ram. Hope it all works out well for you in the end.
