I would appreciate advice. I have a 2006 F350 with 6.0 diesel and at 5,230 miles it quit on me in the wilds of southeastern Idaho a week ago last Friday night. To make a long story short, it was repaired in a town of 4000 by the local Ford/Dodge dealer, who said that it was a "blown injector". Fine, I drive back home, 700 miles, and run errands for one day and then last Friday morning, it won't start. I go thru the "roadside assistance " thing again and now it's sitting in the dealership that I bought it from and they're saying it has a bad oil pump. Not enough pressure to run and it'll be tomorrow (Tuesday) or Wednesday before they can get one.
My question: can these two incidents be related? If not, what should I do if there are two major engine problems in a week time at only 5000 - 6000 miles? I was planning on retiring this spring and use this p/u to tow a fifth wheel around the country. Now I am very concerned, to say the least. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks, John
