Consumer Description

MY TRUCK IS A 2003 FORD F250 WITH THE 6.0 DIESEL AND A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM IS IN STARTING OUT FROM A DEAD STOP. THE TRUCK IS SO SLUGGISH I HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT IN CROSSROADS MANY TIMES!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW FROM TIME TO TIME IF YOU WILL HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO PULL OUT!!!!!!! THERE ARE DAYS I COULD PUSH IT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION FASTER THAN I WILL MOVE UNDER IT'S OWN POWER. ALSO WHEN PULLING MY CAMPER THERE WAS 2 OCCASIONS WHERE I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW TO START THE LOAD UP AN EXIT RAMP AND THEN STOP AT THE TOP TO TAKE IT OUT OF LOW RANGE TO GAIN SPEED THUS HINDERING TRAFFIC!!! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS! THERE ARE MANY NAMES I CAN GIVE YOU FROM FOLKS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ALL HAVE THE 6.0 DIESEL. *NLM
