I have a 2000 F250 with no dash or running lights. Did you ever find out what caused the problems.

Personally I would let my EX-FRIEND have the vehicle repaired as it seems to be a blatant case of abuse on his part.
Revving any engine and then dropping the tranny in gear can and will cause all sorts of problems from damging u-joints to twisting the drive shaft to breaking tranny mounts...and the list goes on.
I first would check transmission and motor mounts and then go from there.

Did you ever get this figured out? I have a similar problem that has only happened maybe 10 times and almost always after a long ride. It also happens more often when after a trip I stop and then start making a right hand turn. It has happened going straight but only once. It stops as soon as I take my foot off the gas. Dealer can't duplicate problem so they don't do anything. It started at about 14,000 miles and now I have 27,000 but it is happening more often, and on shorter trips. Any help?

Cam Sensor by cjlaw33
Sep 11, 2006 (9:09 am)
Just curious if anyone had aver had a their cam sensor go out on their truck. I have a 99' F350 Diesel and I was driving it the other day and it just shut off. I coasted to a side street and tried to start it and it just turned over like it wasn't getting any fuel. I let it sit for a bit and it started up and ran for 10 seconds and died. I left it and went to work, came back, started it up and drove it maybe 10 blocks to a buddies house and shut it off. We then figured maybe I can get it back to my house (10 more blocks or so). Started it right up, drove 5 blocks and it shut off again. I tried disconnecting the batteries for a bit to maybe re-set the sensor but it didn't help at all. I figured it would be the fuel pump or filter, but a mechanic friend of mine said it was most likely the cam sensor. He stated that a friend's truck did the same thing awhile back and it was the cam sensor. Apparently Ford stocks these things like crazy and are the only one who sells them. I was told they usually go out every 60-80K miles. Just wondering if anyone knew any better or had any insight whatsoever? I want to make sure before I go buy this sensor that it's not something else. Thanks.

I have bin a diesel mechanic for 25 years. long before cam sensors and the answer to your question is yes the cam sensor is bad what happens is when the truck cools down the sensor works again and it does not take long for it to heat up and shut down the engine

no, I think you have a defective interior light switch, which I *think* on your truck might located right in the door lock itself, and is activated when the door opens and closes.

Ford door switches are notorious for collecting grit in them, and eventually getting stuck.
  
Get some WD-40. Drown the door switches with it. Work the switch back and forth repeatedly . Drown it with WD-40 again. Repeat until it works properly.

F-350 Super Duty Headlights by pointy
Sep 27, 2006 (7:43 am)
Hi I was wondering if anyone else out there has had a problem with the new 2007 F-350 Super Duty Headlights.
My headlights are so dim that when trucks(half ton trucks) follow me they cast a shadow in front of my truck.
