Sticks to everything and I cant imagin ford telling the dealership to fix it because the whole motor has to look like this inside. Ford tech -Ford has not bulletin on the front cover but ford did tell the tech look here for the problem so they must of had others????? Now some might think I'm full of it, but we also have another 6.4 at work that just drank 2 gallons in one day and still using antifreeze. Took to to another dealer because they could work on it right away. I got seriouslly shafted with my 6.0 and its starting all over again. I hope my bad luck is a isolated case.

I saw in another post that you have had radiator issues and now you mention that the engines front cover appears to have rotted away. This does not suprise me. A tech that I know very well now pulls the front engine cover on all trucks that come in with a radiator leak. He has found that when the coolant level becomes low a severe cavatation issue develops in the cooling system. This seems to be eating up the front covers. He says that some of the front covers you can actually see light thru them, like swiss cheese...
