Sorry to hear of your engine troubles....

We just went through similar (but not quite) troubles with our F250. The oil cooler split and started dumping coolant into the engine oil. Dealer wanted close to 9k to fix it. Found an independent mechanic who worked on fleet trucks for a company a friend worked for and he did the job for almost half. I also bought aftermarket cooler that was a better design.

As it was, the truck wound up sitting for a couple of months while we scraped the money together. Don't much like the credit thing.
