The deal is the ford engine won't and doesn't handle any water that gets in the diesel and the water separator they come with is real small once it gets full it dumps into the engine ruining it. This is NOT COVERED BY THEIR WARRANTY. It's for real a $18 grand fix and that is a. Fix not a new motor, this has happened to several people I know. If you have a ford diesel , install an aftermarket water separator,,($600) this comes from a knowledgeable dealer I know.

We had this happen to our Ford F550 Diesel. It didnt cost us $18k to fix though... We had to pay a diesel mechanic about $7800 to fix it. It was a fuggin mess. On the other hand, our Cummins have never given us problems.
