ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
I'VE HAD TWO SEPARATE CPS FAILURES ON MY 2000 FORD SUPER DUTY WITH THE 7.3 DIESEL. BOTH TIMES IT MANIFESTED ITSELF AS THE MOTOR DYING WITHOUT WARNING. ONCE IT WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WHERE NO INJURIES WITH EITHER INCIDENT BUT THAT COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A DIFFERENT STORY HAD I BEEN PULLING MY TRAILER. BOTH TIMES REPLACING THE (OVER PRICED) CPS WAS THE SOLUTION. THE OLD PARTS WERE DISCARDED.*JB

TIRES:SIDEWALL
I OWN 265/75R16 KUMHO ROAD VENTURE AT 10 PLY LOAD RANGE E TIRES THAT AT LEAST ONE HAS STARTED TO BLISTER ON THE SIDEWALL NEAR THE BEAD OF THE TIRE, ONLY 20,000 MILES ON TIRES WHICH WERE REGULARLY ROTATED, AND HAVEN'T HIT ANYTHING WITH THEM. THERE WAS A RECALL OF THE SAME TIRE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM) BY KUMHO MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JANUARY 2005 AND DECEEMBER 2006. THE POTENTIAL FOR BLOWOUT WAS THE REASON FOR THE RECALL. I PURCHASED THE TIRES IN JUNE 2004 AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. HAVE THE RECALL INCLUSION DATES BEEN EXPANDED. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
AFTER ABOUT FOUR YEARS OF GOOD SERVICE A PROBLEM STARTED AND NOW STILL HAVING NUMEROUS CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(CPS) FAILURE IN THE 2000 F350 7.3 SD PICKUP TRUCK CPS SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP AND LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED AS EXTRA COSTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.THE ORIGINAL CPS PART NUMBERS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND AN ALTERNATE PART IS A REPLACEMENT TODAY. A YEAR AFTER THE LAST REPAIR OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS THE COMPUTER CODE FINALLY RECOGNIZED THE DEFAULT WITH A CODE P0340. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE SENSOR ERROR WAS IDENTIFIED BY THE CHECK ENGINE CODE SYSTEM AND IT IS THE SECOND TIME THE CPS WILL BE REPLACED. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1,500 IN REPAIRS TO FIND A FIX. I HOPE THE NEW PART BE THE FINAL FIX. *TR

TOWING THIS AMOUNT OF WEIGHT AT THIS TYPE OF SPEED IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE A MOTOR THAT DIES WITH NO WARNING. *TR

I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT IDLING AND THE TRUCK JUST STARTED TO PUFF OUT TONS OF SMOKE AND RUN BAD... TOOK IT THREE BLOCKS TO THE FORD DEALER AND THE CPS CAM POS SENSOR (FORD CALLS IT A SYNCHRONIZER P# F7TZ-12K073-A) WAS BAD... I HAVE RODE IN TWO OTHER 7.3 L TRUCKS THAT ALSO HAD CPS GO BAD IN THEM. I NOW CARRY A SPARE IN THE GLOVE BOX BECAUSE IF IN THE DESERT OR WHERE EVER I DON'T WANT TO BE STRANDED FOR A SIMPLE PART. I KNOW OF AT LEAST 20 WHO OWN THIS TRUCK WHO HAVE ALL HAD CPS FAILURES. *TR

COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT BY FORCING VEHICLE OFF ROAD WHILE TOWING.*AK
