	I have experienced numerous engine failures, of which i have the receipts, on my f500 ford with the 6.0 diesel engine, at a cost to me of over $7,000. at the time of the failures, the engine was only out of warranty for a short period of time. because a diesel should last for a relatively long period of time and should not have these types of problems, i asked ford to cover the bill. in short, ford would not give me the time of day or admit to anything. i am very concerned as i don' t make the kind of money it takes to continually invest in an engine that should still run fine. i have also discussed this with others that own the same engine and have found that the type of problems that i've had are quite common with the 6.0 engine. i have all the receipts and expect ford to take responsibility for what is clearly a poorly built engine. i'm also having trouble with the air conditioner for years and have been unable to find the problem. i await your reply and can send you a copy of the bills and my correspondence with ford.
