There should be a Ford zone office in your city.
Try contacting them and see where that goes.

I have a 2004 F350 4x4 diesel and at 81K it poped a headgasket and
when pulled apart they found cyclinder wall damage in 4 cyclinders
and the 100K warranty replaced the motor. I then went out and bought
another 100K warranty that covers more stuff.

I don't know what is going on with Ford, I have a buddy who went to
look at a F450 truck for his business and found out they no longer offer
it with a stick shift only auto trans.
