ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
2006 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY, DIESEL, 6.0 L, 4X4, CREW CAB, SHORT BED: TOTAL LOSS OF THROTTLE RESPONSE WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE RUNS, BUT THE TRUCK COMPLETELY STOPS AND WILL NOT MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. THERE IS NO ADVANCE WARNING. IT JUST STOPS MOVING RIGHT WHERE IT IS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. THE EGR VALVE HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES OR CLEANED THE OTHER TIMES, BUT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE ON THE ROAD BECAUSE IT STOPS SUDDENLY RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAFFIC LANE. WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN MADE ON THE EGR AND RELATED PARTS....EVERYTIME WE TAKE IT TO THE SHOP THAT'S ALL THAT'S IN THERE FOR THE SAME REASONS!!

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I OWN A 2001 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY WITH A 5.4L TRITON V-8 ENGINE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, 2WD, 137 INCH WHEELBASE, STANDARD EMISSION, WITH NO AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS AND APPROXIMATELY 114,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG FROM UNDER THE HOOD, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND SOUNDED LIKE THE EXHAUST HAD COME OFF THE ENGINE. UPON INSPECTION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE NUMBER 8 SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ENGINE AND DAMAGED THE IGNITION COIL. THE THREADS WHERE THE SPARK PLUG SCREW INTO THE HEAD WERE DAMAGED, BUT REPAIRABLE. I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG AND COIL. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO FIRE OR INJURY IN MY PARTICULAR CASE, THE POSSIBILITY FOR SUCH IS LIKELY IF THIS PROBLEM IS SYSTEMIC. WHEN THE SPARK PLUG BLOWS OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD, IT CAN BE DONE WITH A LOT OF FORCE, WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY/DEATH, DEPENDING UPON THE PROXIMITY OF PEOPLE AT THE TIME. ALSO, WHEN A SPARK PLUG COMES OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD, GAS FUMES RELEASED MAY BECOME IGNITED BY SPARKS FROM THE COIL OR SPARK PLUG WIRES, RESULTING IN A ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. THE OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION IF NECESSARY. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
FRONT END DEATH RATTLE. GOING INTO A CURVE ON A HIGHWAY AND HITTING A BUMP. THE FRONT END SHAKES AND RATTLES TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES UNTIL THE SPEED SLOWS DOWN TO ABOUT 40 MPH. I HAVE CHANGED THE STEERING DAMPENER, THE SHOCKS AND NOTHING SEEMS TO HELP. FORD SAID TO CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE. I'VE SET IT TO THE RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE FROM FORD AND I'VE SET IT FROM THE TIRE MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDATIONS. NOTHING WORKS. I'VE SHIMMIED ACROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC AND AM TOTALLY SURPRISED THAT I HAVE NOT GOTTEN INTO A ACCIDENT YET. *TR
