VEHICLE (2004 DIESEL F550 TRUCK) WAS TRAVELING ON I-405 DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. DEALER SAYS THAT THE PAINT/LAMINATE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK IS CORRODING AND PIECES OF DEBRIS ARE BEING FED INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM CAUSING SUDDEN STALLING OF VEHICLE. NO OFF-ROAD DIESEL HAS EVER BEEN USED IN THE TANKS--STANDARD DIESEL FUEL ONLY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
PROBLEM 1: IN 2004 I PURCHASED A NEW FORD F-550 WITH THE GASOLINE V10. ABOUT ONE MONTH AFTER OWNING THE TRUCK THE THROUGH-OUT BEARING ON THE CLUTCH STARTED MAKING NOISE AND HAS DONE SO. THIS YEAR WITH ONLY 49,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK NOW IT DOES NOT WANT TO GO INTO GEAR SOMETIMES.BY THE TIME I CONTACTED MY DEALER HE SAID THAT THE TRUCK WAS OFF WARRANTY. DID THEY SELL CHEAP BEARINGS IN THESE TRUCKS, BECAUSE MY LAST F350 I HAD FOR 14 YEARS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. PROBLEM 2: EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK. WHEN YOU ARE SITTING AT A LIGHT AND GET READY TO GO. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND THEN GOES. *TR
