Replying to: dshantz (Aug 03, 2009 10:17 pm) WELL WELCOME TO MY WORLD, FIRST START LOOKING FOR AN ATTORNEY, 2ND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR TURBOS ARE ABOUT TO GO OUT SOUNDS LIKE SOME OF THE SAME SYPMTOMS THAT I HAD. MORE PROBLEMS TO COME MY FRIEND, KEEP YOUR ORIGINAL MAINTENANCE RECEIPTS. CHECK YOUR OIL, SEE IF THERE IS MORE FLUID IN IT THAT WAS PUT IN, HAVE IT CHECKED BY AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED MECHANIC. HAVE IT DOCUMENTED. FORD WILL STILL FIND A WAY TO SAY IT`S YOUR FAULT FOR THEIR PRODUCT GOING BAD. WHAT PART OF THE COUNTRY ARE YOU IN. HAVE YOUR CYLINDERS CHECKED AS WELL, THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS IN WHICH YOUR DESCRIBING, SOME OF MY PROBLEMS.

#335 of 355 descision final by sandman8 Aug 04, 2009 (3:58 pm)
mrhuricane took some of yours and other advise and outside sources that used 2008 f350 lariot with 15k miles was like playing russian roulette a game i could take a chance. the price was right and that might have been why. However I did roll the dice and stretch my penny out.. spent alot more than i wanted because I was looking for a used f350. I will give Ford the benifit and purchased 2009 F350 Lariot 4x4 5 miles. Hoping and God willing that all the bugs got worked out for this year. As of now the truck will sit till mid or end of August to make a small trip under load pulling 26 ft t/t and sand toys piled on back. about 262 miles with some hills so i wont really know if there is an issue till i get up there in miles. I hopeing that i could hit 200k and comeback saying this is the best truck ever. and money well spent. Ford Please Dont Let Me Down!!!! Sandman..

Replying to: mrhurricane (Aug 02, 2009 12:29 pm) Sorry about the trouble with your truck, but not all of them are bad. I use my truck as a truck but don't abuse it. When I haul there is about 1500-2500 lbs back there and when towing for part time work about 10k. For weekend getaways with the family I have a 38 ft fiver. I believe my truck has been worked in the 30k miles I've put on it, and may be lucky that I haven't had any problems.

Replying to: mrhurricane (Aug 04, 2009 12:34 pm) I live in Boise, ID. What do you mean by "Have your cylinders checked..."? I do have all the reciepts since I bought the vehicle. It has been serviced faithfully as well by Lithia Ford as well. Replies to this message: mrhurricane (Aug 04, 2009 8:27 pm)

Replying to: fordz1 (Aug 04, 2009 5:23 pm) fordz1, I DIDN`T ABUSE MY TRUCK, AN WHEN YOU BUY A 450 AN UP, ITS A COMMERCIAL TRUCK, ITS SUPPOSE TO BE A WORK HORSE, OTHER WISE DON`T ADVERTISE THAT LIKE IT`S SUPPOSE TO DO SO MUCH. THE PRICE YOUR PAYING FOR THIS TRUCK, SHOULDN`T BE SO HIGH !

Replying to: dshantz (Aug 04, 2009 6:58 pm) YOU MAY HAVE A CYLINDER MISSING, HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK DONE, THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE ISN`T GOING TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING OTHERWISE YOUR TRUCK WOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED, DON`T TRY TO GO A TOP CABBAGE WITH THAT TRUCK IF ITS ACTING LIKE THAT, ALSO IF SMOKE IS COMING OUT OF YOUR TAIL PIPE FREQUENT, AND IF ITS LIKE LIGHT BLUE ALMOST WHITE, YOUR TURBOS ARE BAD AN MAY BE GETTING READY TO BLOW, THATS SOMETHING YOUR DEALERSHIP MAY NOT KNOW. NONE OF THEM COULD TELL ME THE PROBLEM. THEY JUST KEPT CHANGING SENSORS ALSO TELLING ME IT WAS THE REGEN CYCLE, SO, I WISH YOU LUCK. FIND A GOOD DIESEL TECH TO CHECK IT OUT, DON`T LET HIM DO ANY WORK TO IT. UNLESS IT LIKE CHANGING THE OIL OR FUEL FILTER.

#341 of 355 Limited Slip Problems F-250 2005 by mainer47 Aug 06, 2009 (3:34 pm)
I have a 2005 F-250 with a limited slip and 4:10 gears. Ford has replaced or re-adjusted the clutches three times because only one wheel would drive on slippy conditions i.e, mud , loose gravel,wet grass, snow and ice. This was done at 17k, 24k, 27k and now at 33K the problem is back. This truck has never seen any work other than towing a couple of ATV's or boat once in a great while. The truck is equipped with a plow ( but I have no plow) and trailering pkg and V10. I owned a 2001 with the same set up and never had any issues. I liked the truck so much and brought this one new in 05. The dealer has "Closed" and the service manager at another Ford dealership is getting no where with the Ford Reps or Zone managers. Has anyone else had this problem and were your able to get Ford to stand behind the problem? Thanks for any information.

Replying to: fordz1 (Aug 04, 2009 5:23 pm) I guess I have been one of the lucky ones so far too. I have 68,000 miles on my truck now. I work it hard everyday. I tow 5 to 10,000lbs 75 to 80mph for 735miles at a time for the past few weeks. My truck weighs well over 10k without a trailer. I love this truck! Most cars can't pass it from a 70mph kick. I haven't had any problems so far.
