I wish I had the real story on how this engine spent it's last hours. It came out of one of two identical trucks from the same fleet, the other engine suffered the same fate. 2011 F550 that hauls around a welding unit on a flat deck for a pipeline company.

Dare I ask, retail or warranty?

Let's just say that I have never had an easier time getting prior approval codes than I have with these 2 engines.

Well, if it were warranty, knowing Ford, they would tell you to Band-Aid the fucker together with silly snot and Super Glue, and then blame YOU for the faulty repair when it comes back. :rofl:

On this last one they even asked for a manual cost cap to see if it would be more cost effective to put in a complete drop in versus a long block and fuel system. Needless to say, the extra cost of the turbo on the drop in, made it not the case. Got my long block today and the rest was in stock.
