2006 Ford F-250 Powertrain & Transmission Problems

F250SD DIESEL ABOUT 65 MI.S.OF ELI,NV. THE CK ENGINE SYMBOL CAME ON,SO I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD. THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE ENGINE,[MAYBE 1 GAL.]. OIL WAS COMING OUT OF PLASTIC COOLANT OVERFLOW BOX. NO OIL SHOWED ON CHECK STICK. I GOT 2 GAL OF OIL FROM SOMEONE PASSING BY AND LIMPED INTO ELI NV. THE PICKUP SEEMED TO RUN OK AND NO OTHER WARNINGS SHOWED. [I WATCHED TEMPS CLOSELY]. TURNED OUT THE OIL COOLER INTERNAL [UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD] SPRUNG A LEAK AND FORCED OIL INTO THE COOLANT SYSTEM. MY TRUCK WAS BARELY OVER THE 5 YR. WARRANTY SO NO HELP THERE FROM FORD. I ALWAYS WANTED A FORD DIESEL BUT NOT ANYMORE. COST $2200. FOR REPAIRS, AND LOST 3 WEEKS WITH THE TRUCK. HAD TO HIRE A U-HAUL TO GET HOME TO BOISE AND COME BACK FOR MY PICKUP. MY QUESTION IS WHY NO HELP FROM FORD? I STILL HAVE THE BAD COOLER. *TR

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES AND ONLY APPROX 81,000 WHEN THE POWER TRAIN BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES WHICH FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS. THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND THE COMPANY REP WILL ONLY OFFER HALF OFF ON REPAIRS WHICH THEY CLAIM THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PAST OR OTHER CURRENT PROBLEMS THE VEHICLE IS HAVING. *TR
