ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
REPEATED FORD F250 EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKS. PROBLEM PERSIST ON 1990 & NEWER FORD F250 PICKUP TRUCKS. HEALTH PROBLEMS TO PERSONS IS A DEFINITE CONCERN. EMISSION ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY IS A BIG CONCERN. FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO BE CONTACTED AND RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM FOR POSSIBLE HEALTH HAZARDS AND RECALLS. THROUGHOUT THE VARIOUS EMISSION SERVICING COMPANIES, PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS COMMONLY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 1990S & NEWER F250 FORDS. PERSONNALLY, I HAVE REPLACED ONE MANIFOLD ON MY 1995 F250 FORD IN SEPT OF 97. AND NEEDING TO REPLACE A SECOND MANIFOLD IN DECEMBER OF 98. IN RESEARCHING THIS, I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS NOT ONLY A COSTLY PROBLEM BUT ALSO COULD BE AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN AS SOME FOLKS ARE FIXING THESE MANIFOLDS PROBLEMS BY PUTTING ON HEADERS INSTEAD.
