That sucks. Hope they get you fixed up fast. Just be glad you have warranty. Can you imagine what that will cost the next guy to own that truck when/if it happens again? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If history repeats itself then warranty may not matter as Ford will claim contaminated fuel. I sure hope not, not with those miles. OP, I sincerely hope the dealer and Ford take care of you. Best of luck!
What REALLY sucks is if they deny then it's a claim against your auto policy!
I have never heard of auto insurance policies that cover breakdown/repairs. I have heard of auto policies that cover accidents, wrecks, trees falling, etc. But never one that covers mechanical failures. I assume they cost a LOT more than standard full coverage.
GEICO offers a Mechanical Breakdown rider for about $30 per 6 months period. It has a $250 deductable and is bumper-to-bumper. Car dealers always gripe with I refuse their extended warranty and explain GEICO's policy. I've had this insurance for the last 15 or so years. No problems the several times I've used it, once a new $1700 transmission - cost me $250.
Insurance companies are VERY good at pricing risk. There obviously is a large disparity in Geicos idea of the risk of having to pay a claim between the Fords and GMs.
