Coors,

You need to go back to your dealer and explain to him that this type of failure is not something that just happens OVERNIGHT. Being only 5000 miles out of warranty, is not a good enough reason to deny your claim.
STRONGLY SUGGEST that he contact his FORD Field Service Manager and ask if FORD would approve of the engine being rebuilt, for customer satisfaction reasons.

Do what I do. Say to your Service Manger, "Excuse me, but if you CAN'T Approve the rebuild of my defective engine, lets ask someone at FORD, who has the authority to APPROVE IT, and it won't cost YOU or YOUR DEALERSHIP a cent to try."

Make sure that you know when this FIELD SERVICE MANAGER will be at the dealership. YOU NEED TO BE THERE TO TALK TO HIM.

His decision will determine if FORD will or won't pay, and his decision has no affect on your dealer's status with FORD.

DON'T GIVE IN TO THESE BA$TARD$.
