I was starting to think it was a different kind of 'bud' - Wow! Where's my mind Thinking of days long gone by I guess

 

Hmm... well, I'd guess you would be a bud too.

So the genius at the dealer tells me they found the issue. It seems that I lost a rocker arm. It seems that it either came loose/off or broke off. It seems they cant be exactly clear on "what" happened.
It seems I am still w/o my truck.
So they are running compression test on it (as of yesterday afternoon) to make sure I didn't collapse a cylinder. He said it could be as easily fixed as replacing the rocker arm, new injector and sending me on my way. In which I explained to him it more than likely sounds like he will be replacing my head(s) and then sending me on my way.
So the dust collector is residing in a bay while the scratch themselves and try to figure out what (cheapest way by Ford's measures) way to fix her.

 

Seems that upon taking the valve covers off and the rocker arms they were able to literally remove several valves w/o tools. Yep, broken off at the stems.
Compression test showed two cylinders completely down and the other two less than acceptable.
Looks like a new engine is on its way.
Apparently the root of this evil is a injector/hydro-lock.
Same issue as my 05 F150. 30,000 miles and the 5.4 hydro-locked. New engine then too.
CRAP!!!

 

they give you any problems about having the tuner on it?

 

Wow, I just read the news. Which dealer did you take it to?
