Consumer Description

ANY TIME I GET ON THE INTERSTATE PULLING MY 7000 GVW TRAILER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE CODE IS ALWAYS THE SAME, UNDER/OVER BOOST AND THEN YOU LIMP ALONG FOR A FEW MILES AND IT WILL START WORKING AGAIN. DURING THIS TIME IT'S HARD TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT SPEED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON WITHIN 10-15 MILES OF HIGHWAY USE AT AROUND 60 - 65 MPH. EVERY OWNER THAT I TALK TO THAT HAS THE 6.0 LITRE DIESEL TELLS ME THAT THEY ALL DO THIS AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO INSTALL A EGR DELETE KIT AT AROUND $1,200.00. THIS WILL CURE THE PROBLEM BUT WILL POLLUTE THE AIR MORE. IT'S JUST A BAD DESIGN AND FORD'S NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS THE NHTSA STEPS IN. *TR
