I have contacted Fords countless times and although they have admitted I have a valid warranty they are being evasive. I've since found out that Fords had major problems with this engine. Anyone else had problems that can advise me on how to proceed?

You may not get many comments without several details like,year model,what does"evasive"mean,how long has it been at the dealer and anything else you care to add. It takes time and Ford may be trying to determine why it failed so they can't tell you any details yet. Even tho the 6.0(as well as anything mechanical)has problems,I'm having a problem wraping my thoughts around 5,800 miles. Is that milage indeed correct?
