THIS VEHICLE HAS A SEVERE LACK OF ACCERATION BETWEEN 3500 AND 4500 RPMS. I TOW A 30' 5TH WHEEL TRAILER AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE OR ANYTIME I LOOSE POWER BECAUSE OF A HILL I WILL STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL FOR PASSING GEAR. THE TRUCK WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE IN SPEED UNTIL IT GETS TO 3500 RPMS AND THEN LOOSES POWER AT ONCE. THIS CONTINUES UNTIL 4500 RPMS AND THEN IT SEEMS TO GO INTO ANOTHER PHASE AND ACTS LIKE IT SHOULD HAVE BEFORE BY A GREAT INCREASE IN POWER. I HAVE HAD THIS TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND ALTHOUGH THEY ADMIT ITS A PROBLEM THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. TODAY AFTER THE 4TH TRY I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DROVE A NEW 2000 F250 WITH A V10 MOTOR AND IT DID THE SAME THING. BECAUSE OF THAT THEY TOLD ME...

THE PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE IS USING OIL, THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE, I AM BEING TOLD THAT THIS ENGINE SHOULD USE 1 QUART OF OIL IN 900 MILES, I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THAT A NEW VEHICLE SHOULD BE USING THIS MUCH OIL. I THINK I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND , IT IS MY BELIEF THAT FORD IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THESE NEW ENGINES AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH ONE OF THESE NEW FORD TRUCKS THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING HEARD LOUD KNOCKING ALL GAGES REGISTERD OK PULLED OVER HAD TRUCK TOWED DEALERSHIP SAID HAD NO, OIL GAGES STILL READ OK NOT HOT ,OR LOW OIL PRESSURE, TOLD BEARING IN ENGINE FAILED NEED NEW ENGINE,I HAVE UP TO DATE MAINT.
