While I am not really a Ford guy I have owned a few. One was a 1976 Ford F250 4x4, these trucks were the first of the Factory High Boy trucks. Came with a factory lift kit and such. This truck was equiped aith a 390 and it only had less than a 1,000 miles on it when one day driving down the freeway I toasted the motor. No warning no nothing, I wasn't paying any attention to the oil pressure gauge ( Factory one) it just quit. Got out and noticed there was oil every where. Had it towed back to the dealer and they fixed it under warranty, installed a new replacement engine. Two weeks later almost the same thing happened again, this time I noticed all of the smoke and got it stopped. Crawled under there and the oil filter was just hanging there, walked and got a new filter and oil and everything was cool until a week later and it blew another filter off. Now the explanation I got from Ford was that the check Valve was sticking and oil pressure built up very high and blew the filter. Ford replaced something ( Check Valve??) and it never happened again.
Now I don't know but could this maybe what you have going on?
RSProtected people will never know or understand the intensity life can be lived at. To do that you must complettly and totally understand the meaning of the word "DUCK"
