ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
MY TRUCK IS A 2003 FORD F250 WITH THE 6.0 DIESEL AND A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM IS IN STARTING OUT FROM A DEAD STOP. THE TRUCK IS SO SLUGGISH I HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT IN CROSSROADS MANY TIMES!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW FROM TIME TO TIME IF YOU WILL HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO PULL OUT!!!!!!! THERE ARE DAYS I COULD PUSH IT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION FASTER THAN I WILL MOVE UNDER IT'S OWN POWER. ALSO WHEN PULLING MY CAMPER THERE WAS 2 OCCASIONS WHERE I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW TO START THE LOAD UP AN EXIT RAMP AND THEN STOP AT THE TOP TO TAKE IT OUT OF LOW RANGE TO GAIN SPEED THUS HINDERING TRAFFIC!!! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS! THERE ARE MANY NAMES I CAN GIVE YOU FROM FOLKS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ALL HAVE THE 6.0 DIESEL. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
SHORTLY AFTER MY TRUCK ROLLED OVER 106,000 IT STARTED MAKING SOME VERY LOUD RATTLING SOUNDS. AFTER A FEW FALSE STARTS WITH DIAGNOSIS, IT WAS FOUND THAT IT HAD A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER AND THERE IS A TSB ON THE SAME SUBJECT DATED 1999 (THE SAME YEAR AS MY TRUCK) AND THE PROBLEM WAS RECOGNIZED BUT NOT FIXED AT THE FACTORY, JUST TOLD MY MECHANIC TO REPLACE THE PART TO THE TUNE OF $373 FOR THE PART AND $275 LABOR. THEY SAID THE REPLACEMENT HAD A NEW DESIGN TO KEEP THE SAME PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. WHY WHEN IN 1999 DIDN'T THEY FIX THE PROBLEM TO START WITH? *PH
