Get hold of your local Ford dealer. They should be able to help. I took mine to Lincoln and they fixed it under a recall. But, afterward I heard a knocking from the motor and now it's being replaced for FREE under the same recall.

My engine was also ruined from the gasket leak. It was replaced by my dealership for free over 30000 miles ago. Still runs great.

I had mine replaced at like 56k miles. It was like $700 for the warranty company. But 2 weeks later I got a thing from ford saying it was recalled. Chances are that the recall affects your truck.
