Regards Truckland, Hope your in a nice area to be for a few days if nothing else. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine maintenance when the contact was advised that the radiator was leaking. Unfortunately from here its impossible to tell you exactly what the fault is because there are just so many engine sensor inputs that could cause your problem. So therefore contraction and expansion of any working part can mess one around chronically. I spent a large chunk of change on the truck and make every effort to keep it in top shape. In each reported instance the operator described an immediate loss of power plant with no warning.
I have done some that will kill the engine because of both, but not reduced power. A 12,500 pound trail hitch is standard on the single rear wheel F350 with a standard 15,000 hitch on the duel rear wheel truck. Pull the hose from the radiator and from the thermostat housing, using a twisting motion. I hope to hear from some one soon. For what it's worth, Ford doesn't build high pressure fuel pumps. It's awful to have yours be the one out of thousands that does break, but these things happen.
I have a few buddies with 6. I hope Ford figures this out soon before someone gets hurt. Ford has known about this issue since August of 2007 yet has not issued a recall. It could be an exhaust sensor that is reading faulty. Also added for better acoustics is the composite steel material used for dashboard construction, a rear bulkhead panel, more robust side glass, and additional padding on the floor and dash. It certainly did not have a catastrophic internal failure.
Until now I didn't know if this was an issue. Apr 14, 2015 reduced engine power indicater is usually tripped by the ecu in response to other problems. There will be some coolant spilling out when the gasket seal breaks. Loose or Broken Belt A belt is often the driving link that turns the water pump at the correct speed for proper coolant flow through the cooling system. It looks to me that you would be staring at the pump in about an hour and a half. Install the coolant pump belt. Indeed, the truck did lose a tremendous amount of power.
The service department says that it is indeed a failed high pressure fuel pump. Refill the coolant that you drained from the radiator back into the white plastic coolant tank and replace the cap. I urge the ntsb to investigate these unplanned shut downs of this vehicle's power plant. Hopefully this is indeed a fluke and the next 200k miles will be worry free. The Dealer needs to test the temperature of the Protocols for the limp home mode. It is disheartening to have an issue with a new truck but take solace in what Moe said.
They may not even need a pump. There were no recalls for the failure. Possible leak points include hoses, the radiator, water pump, thermostat housing, heater core, head gasket, freeze plugs, automatic transmission oil cooler, cylinder heads and block. The more the issues, the less likely I will buy again. I too drank the grape drink, but I also have the antidote sell the truck. Most times it's caused from a transmission problem. Reposition the coolant pump-to-thermostat housing hose clamp and remove the coolant pump and hose as an assembly.
A center stack is home to most of the vehicles switches, including tow brake and auxiliary controls. He told me a few months ago that if the 6. Careless tightening could cause the pump housing to crack. That has even been re-deigned in there new 6. Better integrated map holders and more strategically placed gauges help improve usability.
It is designed around Piezo electric fuel injection; a common-rail, high pressure fuel system; and an emissions system that decreases diesel exhaust using a particulate control, a system which reduces soot particles by greater than 90% and allows vehicle emissions to be virtually equal to a gas-powered truck. It is noted that while searching the internet it was discovered that this appears to be a common problem with these 6. I would have to assume that there would be a pile of diesel trucks in southeast Texas in for service if it was an issue with their fuel. Over a billion miles have likely been traveled and still no recurring engine issues. Take note of how the thermostat is positioned within the cover.
For the record, both the and engines use Bosch high pressure fuel injection systems. He could perhaps offer you expedited shipping? I looked at info for 2. Thank you in this matter. In the end, I was trading a '07 5. The dealer would do better by telling you the problem and the parts availability and leave the drama to Hollywood. While driving in reverse at 1 mph, the vehicle went into fast idle mode and suddenly lunged backwards. One thing that you could try is to drain the water from the water separator that is mounted on the frame under drivers front door.
The contact slammed on the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. Fill and bleed the cooling system. The installation should be the opposite of removal. Check for leaks and retighten your connections if necessary Dec 08, 2010. Faulty Radiator By passing through a series of tubes and fins, coolant temperature is reduced in the radiator. The standout is the 6. Ford states that this is normal.
