i am a ford diesel mechanic and i have replaced 10 of these motors sense they came out. and all of them had less then 25,000 miles. only 3 of them were the ones with bad valves, but they were all cab and chassis models. the cab and chassis models have a different turbo, different style intake manifold and different set up on the exhaust and they are detuned to 300bhp and 660 lb-ft. the pick ups have 390bhp and 735 lb-ft. the exhaust has the same components, they are just in different location. im not sure whats causing it but all of the motors i have replaced have all dropped valves. the last one i did broke the piston in half and shot the rod into the block. im not sure if your still under warranty, most of the trucks only come with 30,000 or 3 year warranty. but if it is make sure they give you new injectors in the cylinders that were damaged. and deffently get a new turbo. sometimes ford tells us to re-use the turbo. but i have found the customer comes back after 500 miles complianing of turbo whine. i can say tho all the pick up models are doing great. i have replaced egr coolers on one and did one oil cooler but other than that havent had any engine problems with the pick ups. the biggest problem these trucks have are the scr system. (selective catalyst reduction) system and its mostly pump or urea injector problems. but if i were you i would keep the truck after i gets a new motor. and see if you can perchase ESP. it will help in the long run.
You are a diesel tech and don't know what warranty comes with the product you are working on???? I don't want to come to your dealership.
The motor has a 5 year, 100k mile warranty on it.

I'd rather have mechanic know how to fix the thing than the warranty period of the thing.
Let the bean counters worry about the warranty period.

Yep, a PSD tech that's replaced TEN 6.7 PSD's has obviously worked on hundreds of trucks with the 6.7 in them and has LOTS and LOTS of info about the things that you guys should watch for. P-ssing him off because he doesn't know the minute details of the warranty coverage that the service writer deals with and that are in your owner's manual in your glove compartment sounds like a really dumb thing to do.
You guys need a knowledge base of frequently repaired/replaced parts and what the problem signs are that those parts cause. You need HIM a lot more than than he needs the hassle here.
