ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
THE CAM POSITIONING SENSOR IN THE FORD POWER STROKE 7.3L DIESEL HAS GONE OUT AT 60,000 MILES. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY TRUCK THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. MANY PEOPLE I KNOW HAD THIS HAPPEN WITHIN THE FIRST 100,000 MILES. FORD REPAIRED THE CPS FOR $400.00 AT MY EXPENSE. ALSO THE O RING IN THE HIGH PRESSURE OIL PUMP WENT OUT AT 71,000 MILES WITH NO WARNING, CAUSING ME TO DUMP ALL OF THE OIL OUT. I DISCOVERED IT BEFORE IT CAUSED MOTOR PROBLEMS. FORD FIXED THIS PROBLEM FOR $500.00. BOTH PROBLEMS A WERE VERY COMMON WITH THE 7.3L AND NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. THEY WERE NOT ORDINARY PROBLEMS AND NEED SOME KIND OF ATTENTION FROM FORD. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON THE 7.3 POWERSTROKE FORD TRUCK I THINK IT IS A SAFETY HAZORD IF THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WERE TO FAIL APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND YOU WOULDNT HAVE POWER BRAKES IF THE ENGIN SHUTS OFF AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP FAST ENOUGH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE CPS BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT MY LIFE MAY BE ENDANGERED EVERY DAY ON THE WAY TO WORK WITH THE COMMON PROBLEM.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I OWN A 2006 F250 4*4 AND WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND EVEN SWAYS FROM LANE TO LANE, WHEN ENCOUNTERING ANY ROUGH PLACE IN THE ROADWAY. THIS IS A VERY VIOLENT SHAKING AND I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM WRECKING. THE SHAKING WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU HAVE SLOWN DOWN DRAMATICALLY OR COME TO A STOP. FORD HAS COMMENTED THAT IT COULD BE THE AIR PRESSURE AND HAVE ORDERED A STEERING DAMPER TO TRY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK HAS DONE THIS SINCE DAY ONE AND WITH THE FACTORY TIRES AND THE NEW TIRES THAT I HAVE ON IT NOW. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM THE DEFECT IN DESIGN.
