I have a question regarding an ambulance we have. The ambulance is an econoline 350 with the 6.0 diesel in it. It has approx 39,000 miles on the odometer. We had the oil pump on the truck go out within 4,000 miles
and now again at 39,000. What is the warranty on a repair is it 12/12 or the 36,000 mile warranty. Does the 100,000 mile warranty apply to the ambulance package on the 6.0 diesel.

Ian, either oil pump is covered under the diesel engine warranty for 5 years or 100,00 miles. I do not believe that the Ford ambulance prep package has any affect on the warranty what so ever - unless you make an ambulance out of a vehicle without the ambulance prep package. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif Personally, I would be more concerned with the repeat failure of the pump and what is causing the pumps to fail. Do you know if this is the engine oil supply pump or the high pressure oil pump (HPOP)?

In addition to Docs comments... what year is the bus. I vaguely recall that 05 had updated HPOPs but have seen some line failures due to vibration. Earlier HPOPs could have the pistons turn on the shaft and self destruct...

It is an '05 with a 6.0. It has the ambulance prep package. Our local Ford dealer says its not under warranty, what gives? How do we remedy this problem.
