2008 FORD F-250 SD Engine And Engine Coolingenginediesel Problems

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS MY 08 FORD F250 6.4 HAS HAD EXCESSIVE BLUISH WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST WHILE DRIVING AND LASTS AROUND 20 SECONDS. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND SITUATION MET ALL CRITERIA OUTLINED IN TSB 11-2-2. CAC WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, VEHICLE STILL INTERMITTENTLY HAS SAME PROBLEM. ON ONE OCCURRENCE THE SMOKE WAS SO EXCESSIVE THAT A MOTORCYCLE TRAVELING BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD DUE TO VISIBILITY. FORD STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL.

ON 2 OCT 2008, RADIATOR WAS DISCOVERED TO BE CRACKED AND LEAKING AT LEFT LOWER CORNER AT 6,240 MILES AND WAS REPLACED BY FORD UNDER 3YR/36000 WARRANTY. FORD INSTALLED DEGAS BOTTLE "T" FITTING TO ELIMINATE ANY FURTHER RADIATOR FAILURE. ON 12 MAR 2012, RADIATOR WAS DISCOVERED TO BE CRACKED AND LEAKING FROM LEFT LOWER CORNER AT 47,895 MILES. FORD SAID FAILURE WAS CAUSED DUE TO AN HYPER-EXTENDED THERMOSTAT. FORD REPLACED THERMOSTAT UNDER WARRANTY BUT WOULD NOT COVER RADIATOR UNDER WARRANTY. RADIATOR WAS REPLACED BY NON-FORD MECHANIC. ON 25 APR 2013 RADIATOR WAS DISCOVERED TO BE CRACKED AND LEAKING FROM RIGHT SIDE SEAM AT 58,520 MILES. FORD WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO HELP OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. RADIATOR WAS REPLACED BY NON-FORD MECHANIC OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE 08 F250 6.4 COOLING SYSTEMS THAT FORD FAILS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY...

LIFTERS AND CAM HAVE FAILED. AND HAS TRASHED THE MOTOR. HAVE ASKED FOR HELP FROM FORD AND THEY HAVE DENIED CLAIM. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT $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. THAT'S WHY THEY DESIGNED A NEW MOTOR AND ARE SUING NAVISTAR THE ENGINE DESIGNER. NOW YOU CAN GO ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND FIND THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS AND MORE. FORD KNOWS THAT THE LIFTERS WILL FAIL AT SOME PREMATURE POINT, AND THE ROCKER ARMS WILL BREAK. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS THAT THERE IS SO MUCH BACK PRESSURE ON THE MOTOR DUE TOO THE PARTICULATE FILTER. THAT HAS...

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED A 2008 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY PICK UP TRUCK WITH THE 6.4 DIESEL ENGINE IT HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE. FOR NO REASON SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE ENGINE WILL STUMBLE AND A CLOUD OF WHITE SMOKE POURS OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE SMOKE IS SO SEVERE IT WILL BLIND ANYONE BEHIND THE TRUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CASES WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC THE ENGINE WILL STUMBLE AND LOOSE ALL AVAILABLE POWER. THIS COULD BE A DRASTIC PROBLEM IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIME AND THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL FOR THE TRUCK TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE EMISSIONS. IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN THEY ARE ALLOWING A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO TAKE PLACE....
