Consumer Description

2003 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY 6.0L POWER STROKE. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR 2 YEARS IT JUST SEEMS TO BE A NEVER ENDING ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE COMPUTER REFLASHED 3 TIMES, 3 FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED ECT ECT ECT. MOST RECENTLY I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLANT BLOWING OUT OF THE TANK IT HAS BROKE MY AIR RESTRICTION GAUGE 2 TIMES, AFTER REPEATED COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER OF THIS ISSUE THEY RETURN THE TRUCK TO ME SAYING THERE IS NOT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLANT SYSTEM, THEN WHY IS THERE A STAIN UNDER MY HOOD FROM COOLANT? THIS HAPPENS MORE OFTEN DURING TOWING HOWEVER IT IS ONLY A 7000LB TRAILER? MY EGT'S ARE NOT HIGH? NOW THIS WEEK THE TRUCK HAS STARTED TO SURGE IDLE UP TO 1200-1300 RPMS FOR NO REASON AND SOMETIMES STALL? WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS! ITS AN EXPENSIVE TRUCK AND I CANT KEEP SENDING IT TO THE SHOP EVERY FEW MONTHS FOR PROBLEMS. 100 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLES GET EXPENSIVE!!!! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP I KNOW ITS NOT THE FORD MECHANICS FAULTS THEY ARE MORE THAN LIKELY SICK OFF THIS TRUCK ALSO, THANKS. *NM
