Dont know what year the F350 is, but there was a class action suit or recall on some model years with the 5.9 or 6.2 diesels. The head bolts would stretch and cause the gaskets to leak.

My buddy found this out while on a out of state boating trip. $4200 later he was back on the road. Hose the out of stater!!

He checked into it when he got home and Ford did Reimburse him for the whole amount. It took him a year or so to get the money.

Boy, thats another hit for your buddy. Even if Ford does cover the head gaskets and new Arp bolts thats part of the fix.

His is the 7.3 so did they have these issues?

Anyway for him to do a stop payment? He never received the service he was supposed to get...

Paid cash but as of now the Az. shop is shipping the trans back to him for a complete rebuild (maybe for the 1st. time )then the Az. shop does the install, road test etc. Whatta wanna bet it works like it should when he gets his truck back............

7.3 appreciated coolant system services. If you didn't, it would often rot out the head gasket toward the rear bank of either cylinder. I do remember that one. It was also a common trans failure when the fluid would puke from the front seal, but for the life of me can't remember what that one often led to.

Truck was serviced and everything was done; Oil n filter, trans service, rear end fluid, brakes and coolant flush but things happen and hopefully we`ll see soon.
