I agree with you 100% as a former Ford tech and now a city fleet tech. The 6.0 had many more problems than the 6.4 diesel. Yes the 6.4 is stuffed in there tight but so is the 5.4 gas and the V10. Not fun to work on but there are a lot of them on the road without near the probelms of the 6.0.
We have a 6.4 in a bucket truck and it went in for a recall on the radiator and to reprogram the pcm for an improved dpf filter cycle. Only other problem is the fuel transfer pump failed.

As long as it does not have a chip in it Ford should make good on the warranty. Get a hold of the zone rep and go from there. Sounds like your dealer is going to make you do the work. Good luck, Brian
