Motor is locked!! $55,000 and 6 months later and a locked up engine! I'm past the point of being pissed off!!!
Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Just had the primary water pump replaced at 27,000 miles.
For what it's worth, I had an '06 Chevy that got a new engine after 2,700 miles. Like you I was beyond pissed but there's nothing you can do about it.

That kind of attitude will help you through this experience immeasurably. An old friend of mine is a marine diesel mechanic, and to quote him, "If it goes round and round and up and down, yer gonna have problems with it."
If million dollar ship engines will go boom, so will anything else. Good luck with the dealer and the warantee, I do hope everything comes out ok for you in the end.
I find it interesting that the cab and chasis trucks with the detuned engines are having the valve problems. You would think since they aren't being pushed as much to make HP that they would have fewer problems. Seems counter intuitive.
Does anybody know if the pickups and cab and chasis trucks use the same valves?
I just bought a 2012 F550 cab and chasis so I'm very concerned about this valve issue. Are the 2012s experiencing these valve failures or is it mainly the 2011s? I waited until the end of 2012 because of fear of valve problems in the 2011s. I use my truck for my living too and I don't want to be down for repairs like mag2dually.
BTW I got the ESP when I got the truck just in case.

I was in panic mode in the beginning because my family depends on me and when a situation like this comes around I try too go ahead and figure out my next steps so my family and I don't sink.
extended service plan....extended warranty i believe
