On 09-25-2026 I was changing the fuel filters on my truck when i noticed metal shavings in the bottom of the fuel filter.

The truck only has 71,234 miles on it and this problem cost me over 4,000.00 dollars. All Ford 6.7 diesel from 2011 to 2026 should be recalled.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The junk cab mounts deteriorate so fast the cab settles and crushes the wiring harness causing many electrical issues. There are many forums that talk about bad cab mounts and what components to use to repair them, but in my opinion this is a Ford issue.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:FUEL FILTER
I keep on hand a set of fuel filters and other filters for my personal vehicle. The set I just installed (fuel filters), the upper one, made of plastic, exploded while purging the air out of the diesel system. Diesel went all over the motor, the exhaust, the turbo, and all over my garage. While looking into this more, I found more people in the listings showing the same thing to happen to them. I had to go out and spend another $103 to fix this problem, so I could get my vehicle up and running again. Now, imagine if this engine was hot, the exhaust hot, the turbo hot. This would have ignited the fuel and possibly caused a wreck and or loss of life. I use my vehicle to tow a 5.5 ton trailer, so the motor can run warm some days. This could have been extremely dangerous to myself and others around me. I have contacted Amazon about this seller, but when Amazon allows anyone to sell anything on there, there is opportunity for people to sell fake garbage. I have kept the filter that exploded, along with the packaging. Comparing the old with the one that exploded, I can now tell the fakes from the originals. [XXX] # In the uploads, the white writing on the canister is the fake one. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SUSPENSION
The truck has started a violent wabble on the front end making it hard to control and causing me to cone to a total stop. I have been driving the vehicle locally and at slow speeds. I have taken the vehicle to a shop for inspection at a tire and alignment shop and they recommend replacing tires and shocks. I have contacted Ford and they say I need to make an appointment to discuss. It apers, per internet research, that this is a common problem with the Super Duties. One of the times it happened I was in traffic but able to control during the stop using median. This vehicle displays the symptoms that indicate the Ford Death Wabble I have read about on the internet. No warnings.
