Unfortunately Ford is doing all they can to destroy diesel credibility. Its a shame because some of their engines were great and others didnt require much to make them great. Im not a brand basher but Ford has a lot of PR to do to make up for their diesel shortcomings.
The same issues happen with gas trucks, it just costs a lot less to repair when it happens.
Thats why I love my old mechanically tuned 12 valve Cummins. The thing is bulletproof and exceeds expectations for towing. I only wish it had 4 full doors.
