| F250sd diesel about 65 mi.s.of eli,nv. the ck engine symbol came on,so i pulled over and looked under the hood. there was oil all over the top of the engine,[maybe 1 gal.]. oil was coming out of plastic coolant overflow box. no oil showed on check stick. i got 2 gal of oil from someone passing by and limped into eli nv. the pickup seemed to run ok and no other warnings showed. [i watched temps closely]. turned out the oil cooler internal [under the intake manafold] sprung a leak and forced oil into the coolant system. my truck was barely over the 5 yr. warranty so no help there from ford. i always wanted a ford diesel but not anymore. cost $2200. for repairs, and lost 3 weeks with the truck. had to hire a u-haul to get home to boise and come back for my pickup. my question is why no help from ford? i still have the bad cooler. | |||
