2008 FORD F-250 SD DIESEL NO WARNING DRIVING 55 ON THE FREEWAY TOWING A TRAILER THE TRUCK SHUTS DOWN NO POWER. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS TRUCK HAS SHUT DOWN ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO WARNING. HOW CAN FORD SELL THEIR CUSTOMERS A TRUCK AS WHAT ONE OTHER PERSON STATES: A $55,000.00 TRUCK THAT IS ADVERTISED TO BE SUPER DUTY AND SHOULD LAST 400000 TO 500000 MILES WITH ONLY MINER ENGINE REPAIRS, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. FORD KNOWS FOR A FACT THAT THEY HAVE A FAULTY MOTOR AND FAULTY INTERNAL PARTS ON ALL THE 2008 THRU 2010 6.4 L DIESEL MOTORS.

WHEN STARTING MY 2008 FORD F-250 I BEGAN HAVING TO TRY IT MORE THAN ONCE, WHICH WAS VERY UNUSUAL FOR MY TRUCK. THEN THE NEXT DAY THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO MY FORD DEALER, THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND INFORMED ME THAT THE ERROR CODE INDICATED THAT EITHER I OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS ATTEMPTED TO MODIFY THE PCM (PROCESSOR) UNSUCCESSFULLY AND THAT RESULTED IN THE PCM BEING RUINED. I ASSURED THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT IN NO WAY HAVE I OR ANYONE ELSE DONE THAT. HE BASICALLY CALLED ME A LIAR AND SAID IT WOULD BE AROUND $1000 TO REPAIR. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW FOR 5 DAYS AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED ME THAT THE REPAIR TECH WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY REPROGRAMMING THE NEW PCM AND HAD TO CONTACT FORD DIRECTLY. I'M STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM...
