Consumer Description

ENGINE HAS BEGUN TO IDLE AT VERY LOW RPM'S, TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAS TO BE DRIVEN WITH BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL BOTH BEING DEPRESSED TO STOP OR SLOWING DOWN. THE RPM'S HAVE DROPPED TO 400 AT IDLE SPEED. THE VEHICLE WORKS PERFECTLY FINE AT 600 AND ABOVE WITHOUT MISSING OR HESITATION, BUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN, AND THE RPM'S DROP BELOW 600, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. THE PROBLEM OR POTENTIAL HAZARD IS THAT THE POWER STEERING DISABLES AND BRAKES ARE VERY HARD AND THIS BEING A VERY BIG AND HEAVY TRUCK, IT TURNS INTO A MOVING HEADACHE. MY VEHICLE IS A 2001 F-250 SUPER DUTY, CREW CAB, LONG WHEELBASE, V-10. IT CURRENTLY HAS 48,000 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED AT ABOUT 38,000 MILES AT WOULD DO IT ON OCCASION, BUT SINCE ACHIEVING 43,000 MILE MARK, IT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENCY. *PH
