FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
I PURCHASED A 2003 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY CREW CAB WITH 6.0 DIESEL IN LATE JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN OREGON. I PULLED INTO THE FORD HOUSE IN COOS BAY ON SATURDAY. THEY COULDN'T WORK ON IT UNTIL MONDAY. TUESDAY THEY SAID IT WAS AN INJECTOR SEAL PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY DRAINED 28 QUARTS OF FLUID FROM THE CRANKCASE, WHICH HAD A 15 QT CAPACITY. THE REST, THEY SAID, WAS DIESEL BLOW-BY. THEY REPLACED 3 SENSORS AND 1 INJECTOR AND INSTALLED A NEW COMPUTER UPDATE. WE PICKED UP THE TRUCK AND LEFT TOWN THE FOLLOWING THURSDAY. ON THE WAY OUT OF TOWN THE TURBO INTAKE HOSE BLEW OFF. WE RETURNED AND HAD IT FIXED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER WE WERE IN TEXAS WHEN THE TURBO EXHAUST HOSE BLEW OFF. THAT, TOO WAS REPAIRED. AT HOME, THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND THE FUEL MILEAGE DROPPED FROM 20 MPG TO 13 MPG. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED 2 OTHER INJECTORS AND INSTALLED ANOTHER COMPUTER UPDATE. THIS PAST WEEK THE TRUCK WAS AGAIN RUNNING ROUGH AND THE FUEL MILEAGE WAS DOWN. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY REPLACED A SENSOR AND INSTALLED YET ANOTHER DOWNLOAD. THIS IS NOT WHAT I BARGAINED FOR WHEN I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK. *TT

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
THE FRONT "O" RINGS IN THE AXLE FAIL CAUSING THE GREASE TO LEAK OUT AND THE "FLOATING HUBS" STOP FUNCTIONING AND EITHER LOCK IN 4X4 MODE OR NOT. THERE IS NOW WAY TO SEE OR CHECK THIS FAILURE AND THE REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY. THIS REPAIR IS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1200.00 TO 1600.00 DEPENDING ON THE DEALER DOING THE JOB. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE F250 4X4 SINCE THERE WERE THREE IN THE SHOP AT THE SAME TIME AS MINE. THERE IS ONLY 47000 MILES ON MY TRUCK AND THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY SINCE THE FACTORY ENDED AT 36000 MILES. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT:SEAL
PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE EQUIPMENT/ VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. *MR THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES, AND EACH TIME THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. AFTER THE SECOND REPAIR, THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED SO THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. FINALLY, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HIS PERSONAL MECHANIC WHO STATED THE PROBLEMS THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED WAS CAUSED BY A FRONT SEAL LEAKAGE ON THE RIGHT AXLE. IN ADDITION, THE MECHANIC STATED WHEN THE GREASE LEAKED ONTO THE ROTOR, IT BECAME HOT AND WARPED THE ROTOR WHICH CAUSED THE VIBRATION. CONSUMER WANTED NEW ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND SEALS ON BOTH FRONT WHEELS AT NO COST TO HIM. HE ALSO WANTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE THREE OUT OF POCKET REPAIRS. *PH *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL
AT HIGH ALTITUDES THE 6.0 LITER DIESEL WILL NEED 15-20 MINUTES TO WARM UP BEFORE IT WILL GO ANYWHERE. IF I TRY TO DRIVE TRUCK BEFORE THAT, IT WILL SPIT SPUTTER AND DIE. I HOPE I AM NEVER IN A HURRY OR HAVE AN EMERGENCY. TEMPERATURE DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THIS, IT HAPPENS DAILY NO MATTER WHAT TEMP IS. NO FATALITIES YET, I WORK CONSTRUCTION, IF SOMEONE ON MY JOB GETS HURT THEY MAY DIE WAITING FOR TRUCK TO WARM UP. *JB

AIR BAGS
ON MONDAY MAY 12 I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE MY AIR BAD DID NOT ACTIVATE. I WAS DRIVING A 2001 FORD F250, GOING AROUND 40-45 MILES PER HOUR. I RAN INTO THE BACK OF A PERSON THAT WAS SITTING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I NEVER HIT MY BRAKES SO I HIT HER STRAIGHT IN THE REAR. WHY TYPE OF IMPACT DOES IT TAKE FOR THE SENSOR TO GO OFF FOR AIR BAGS? *NLM
