2008 FORD F-350 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

Vehicle died while driving on the freeway. Towed to the local Ford who did a diagnostic and test they found that the engine is completely done with as there was an engine oil overfill, and it filled the CAC system and melted cylinder eight piston. they’re saying that they will need to replace the entire engine and HP fuel pump in order to repair and I see many others have experienced this same problem.

TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO FORD DEALER AND DIAGNOSED WITH LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP OUT.PRIOR TO THIS WHITE SMOKE ROLLED OUT OF EXHAUST WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND ENGINE SHUT OFF.TRUCK WAA TOWED TO DEALER WITH ABOVE FINDINGS.FORD DIESEL MECHANIC STATED SEVERAL ISSUES WITH HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS ON THESE MODELS.PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.ESTIMATED COST IS 13,000 DOLLARS TO FIX.

THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LOSE POWER WHILE MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE. OUR VEHICLE DID NOT DIE COMPLETELY, AS I'VE HEARD MOST DO. IF WE HAD BEEN HAULING OUR RV, IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTOPHIC IN THAT SITUATION. FORD HAS HAD THESE PUMPS RECALLED ON OTHER VEHICLES (A VAN?), BUT BECAUSE THE REPAIR IS COSTLY, I BELIEVE THAT FORD MAY NOT WANT TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. THE WORST PART OF IT IS THAT ANYONE THAT OWNS AN F350 BUYS IT TO HAUL SOMETHING. IN OUR CASE, A 13000 POUND RV. IF WE LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES IN THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO AND WYOMING, IT WOULD NOT BE GOOD. EVERY MECHANIC WE TALKED TO ABOUT THIS SEEMS TO FEEL THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE F350 6.4L POWERSTROKE

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN 20 DAYS SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THEY NOW SAY I WILL HAVE A BILL OF $8000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE CONTAMINATED DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A FUEL TANK DELAMINATION ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES THAT CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. THAT CAN LEAD TO A STALLING OF THE ENGINE IF NOT DETECTED PRIOR TO TOTAL FAILURE. FORD WILL NOT EVEN HONOR THE WARRANTY I PURCHASED FROM THEM. I NOTICED THE INCREASE IN ENGINE OIL VOLUME PRIOR TO ANY FAILURE WHICH LED FORD TO DIAGNOSE A FUEL PUMP FAILURE PRIOR TO ENGINE FAILURE. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAVE BEEN FAILURES WHILE THE VEHICLES ARE IN MOTION, WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE...

GETTING ON FREEWAY AND TRYING TO REACH AND MAINTAIN POSTED SPEED LIMIT. VEHICLE STARTED SPUTTERING THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD NOT SAFELY MAINTAIN MY SPEED SO I HAD TO PUT FLASHER ON AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. I QUICKLY FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE WENT INTO TO LIMP HOME MODE SO WITH MY FLASHERS ON I PROCEEDED TO HEAD HOME WHICH WAS 40 MILES AWAY. I INDEED LIMPED MY VEHICLE HOME AS I COULD NOT MAINTAIN ANY POSTED SPEED LIMIT AND CREATED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS AN UNSAFE CONDITION FOR OTHER DRIVERS AS THEY WERE TRYING TO PASS AND GET AROUND ME. AFTER MAKING IT HOME I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH A PUBLICATION DATE OF APRIL 27, 2011 TSB 11-4-22 6.4L LACKS POWER-DTC P0088.
