| Description of the problem | Losing water and oil from exhaust, white smoke. Vehicle losing coolant from exhaust pipe. Hard start. Acts like high pressure oil, blows lots of white smoke out of exhaust. Installed ids/ computer and installed coolant pressure gauge in line on cooling system. Monitored ect/eot and coolant pressure.. Got vehicle to normal operating temp. Ect/eot were at 15 degrees difference which is maximum allowance for oil cooler temp. Ford recommends it be replaced when it reaches 15 degree difference. Also recommend replace egr cooler with oil cooler as a set. Perform tsb 09-08-3, test degass bottle-ok. Egr test on vehicle passed, installed pressure gauge. Road test for head gaskets - 21 psi in cooling system failed. Performed turbo over boost - test passed. Failed items: head gaskets, oil cooler. When tearing apart need check concern with high pressure oil system. Estimate to repair around $7000 which neither ford nor dealer, legacy ford, will cover under warranty. What is the warranty for if not to repair ford's junk? So now an expensive truck sits unusable because of ford and they have lost a long time believer in ford vehicles, this is my last ford. |
