Happy Friday all!
So my 06 has been diagnosed with blown head gaskets not quite two years (43xxx miles) after studs, gaskets, OE oil cooler, and fully machining heads (no o-ringing tho).
Going in under the ratchet week after next for partial warranty work. I have to pay machine work to o-ring the heads for any further warranty, new studs, partial labor and I believe a partial parts cost. They will only do this if I o-ring the heads and said I should have last time as have stage 2 turbo and running tunes other than ID tunes which is all they offer due to reduced cyl pressures. They also suggested it may be a bad cup or cracked head which would be at my cost. NOTE: o-ring results in lifetime warranty>
History: all vitals are as should be, turbo replaced, ford OE injectors, HPOP, blue spring and 6.4 banjos, almost all of the sensors, boots, up pipes, plastic drivers side pipe replaced with the steel, Ficm (atlas 40), OE water pump, Rotella T6 all OE filters and good maintenance. Deltas are 8-10*.
Symptoms are: degas bottle has puked three times since job was done (43xxx miles). Usually months in between. Shop was informed and they pressure tested the system, replaced the cap with OE and it quit both times. This time, it bubbled in the tester tube and went from blue to green but not immediately took a bit to get there. They almost said it was another weak cap. I do not race this truck, I do occasionally pass a person less interested in getting somewhere but no burnouts etc. I let warm up and cool down every time I drive it and I do occasionally run the turbo to keep it free.
My questions are should I request at my cost since we are in there: 6.4 pushrods (originals reused first go round), oil cooler replaced, new hpop screen, or anything else?
Thank you for any input.
