I would say there is something in the idle/ milage theory. A guy A friend of mine knows very well, brought a diesel oil field truck, had 50.000 kms on the clock was like new.
The motor blew up. They towed it to a ford shop. The guys said whatever the problem was, it never usually happened before so many kilometers!. They figured something was up. mileage checked out accurate.
Then they did engine hours. It had about 4 times the hours to miles. that's why it blew up.
It spent many hours idling in the cold.
I would go with what some others have said with oil and
breaking it in. It wont like the idling times!. Anybody caught leaving a new truck running like that, should be fired right on the spot.
That motor will never be right until it's treated right!
Regards Robert
