“2006 Ford 6.0 diesel engine. Engine head is cracked, need to replace head gaskets, oil cooler in question. These are common problems with this engine. Ford refuses to pay or help pay for any repairs. Out of warranty because of time not miles. I am a good Ford customer and currently own 10 Ford vehicles. I think it is time for Ford to step up and take care of these issues on a national level.”
