Engine Blew!

06 3500 4x4 Truck with 78,000 is at the dealer. Had the #2 valve drop valve stuck open and then # 1 went and put hole in the side of the engine. New motor put in by dealer then. Long story short I'm told there was fuel problem need new fuel filter system with 2 filters. But now one of the parts that connects the fuel line to the motor needs replaced and is not in stock probably can't get one in for month+ Now being pushed toward new truck or sit and wait for when ever part comes in truck has been down since August 23 any ideas? Also have 2 other trucks that dealer is suggesting this fuel filter for to help avoid loosing motors due to fuel problem. And I have since found 2 other people that had exact same thing happen to motors 1 at 60,000 miles and 1 at 140,000. My other trucks have 123,000 and 80,000 and are both the 05-06 motors
