New turbo is part of the oil system...bearings metal shavings could have damaged. I actually saw the write up for the other spun bearing truck as well as polled the other dealers. There's a reason the connecting rods were updated in 17.

funny how no one wants to take a few min and inspect parts for dammage, just through parts at it (the dealer not you) they do it because if somjmething is wrong with the new engine it is the factories issue and they are not out of pocket, but if they repair the motor and somthing is wrong now it is there fault, just a pass the buck game.

so I searched on the diesel forums I am on, I found 5 berring failures and 4 of them were rod berrings. one was a 2015 one was a 2017. very far from common, but one had the same experiance as you with the dealer and pricing inflation.. the stories were so close I thought it was yours at first, but it was 3 years ago. it its thought the general cause was using the wrong oil weight but no one is sure. but it is plane with the number of units on the road now that it is far from common.

normaly when we see something blowing up on the diesel forums it isnt realy common yet, but it is getting there, there just isnt any activity on this issue, just a stroke of dumb luck.

You found 5 and I know of two at the dealership where my truck is resting comfortably. The idea Ford's flagship engine with the 10K option cost has done this at all is insane, but if there's one or two at every dealership...this is definitely a trend. Starts smelling like class action time. I hear a lot of people bash the 6.0...mine never died this bad.
