Then not even a week after that we changed out the pump which was still working
Next it was the cam sensor because we never took it in for the recall.....
Its a true mule and I don't wanna trade in for a cummins....
I will keep your post and may give you a call.
On another note it is part of a fleet. Our company has purchased over 30 vehicals from Ford in the Last 25 years. Lately we purchased four new 2007 F-450 diesels and every single one of them has had problems. There used to be a day when a Ford diesel would last forever. Not anymore. Our company has been more then dissappointed in Ford and plan to never buy another for years to come.
Anyone that has the same story I do or any problems with the 6.0 L engine I would love to hear about it. I am dealing with Ford on the coverage of a new engine and anything that will help prove there is something wrong with there 6.0 engines will help prove my point. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
I too have 2006 F250 6.0L engine problems. The EGR valve (and the EGR cooler the 2nd time) 3 times under warranty. Also the 4th and 5th time Ford covered it after some long drawn out conversations with Ford customer service. This is the 6th time at around 160,000 and the EGR valve problem has taken out the EGR cooler and Oil Cooler and the estimate is beginning at $2,900!!
FCS (FORD) will not accept responsibility this time for the ongoing problem, so I've contacted the Better Business Beareau, Federal Dept. of Transportation(NHTSA), and the Federal Transit Authority, etc...
I filed a complaint with NHTSA and just finished speaking with a representative, who told me that my complaint was escalated to a higher authority.
I was told that if more people with the 2006 6.0L diesel engine, whether it's F250, F350, F450, Excursion diesel, or E-series call this # to report a complaint it will help to get this engine recalled!
This is good news. Possibly the engine will need to be replaced or at a stretch(my opinion) maybe the vehicle itself.
Please have all the people you know are whom experiencing problems with the 2006 6.0L engine to
call this # 1-888-327-4236. It's called a "Safety Complaint," but they'll file it under "Defects Complaints."
You have to dial the 1 before 888 to get to the right #, as I tried the first few times and it had a recording saying "...press *to get more info on this # sent via text..." which means you don't have the right #.
Should anyone like to contact me for links on all websites to register complaints, my e-mail is cgwsmiley2003@yahoo.com and have them put FORD in the subject line so I find it.
When I turn on the key and tried to start my truck when the "wait to start" light went out, it sounded just like the battery was almost dead and would hardly turn over, some times actually stopping. Before that for a long time the starter motor didn't turn over the engine very fast. Anyway what I would did was cycle the glo plugs a second time then start it. I even put in new batteries, the best I could get. That second time it didn't sound like the old "dead battery" symptom that so many of us have heard, and even though not turning over very fast like when I bought the truck, but it still started. In the past I had the truck studder and quit while on the hyway and had the cam position sensor recall done as well as paying thru the nose to change the computer. But I still had the starting problem as well as an occasional studdering as well and one day, for a while, it would hardly run or go over 45mph and had no power. well that corrected itself until it started to studder as well as die again. I took it to the dealership and left it with them where each day they would start it and drive it trying to get it to repeat the problem with test equip attached. It finally did it and the test equip said it was electrical connectors under the valve cover for glow plugs and what not. They asked me if I wanted them to check the plugs (because it was expensive to get to them) I gave them a go ahead and they cleaned and reseated the plugs. They still weren't sure this would totally fix the problem so I let them keep it. The service manager asked me if he could drive it home at night which was 40+ miles one way and I said sure. well one morning when he got to the dealership and turn off the engine to go unlock the building, when he went to re start it, IT WOULD NOT START. Finally, so they started poking around under the engine and got a lot of sparks from the starter motor. I had also previously asked them to check out the wiring around the engine block to see if any of the insulation was worn off and shorting out and check the "gas" peddle wiring since it is electrical now a days. The starter motor was replaced and wow it really turns over fast (unlike the last 7 or 8 years of slow turning over) and no more starting problems as well as still no more stuttering and shutting down.
I will call the number you provided and log a complaint.
Thanks for the info

the voltmeter said the alternator was charging , but I went to advance auto parts so they could put it on their analyser, they caught a bad diode in the alternator, I went to ford for an OEM and never saw the problem again
-Checked the oil dipstick and its fine, not above where it should be so no diesel in crank case
-Checked for reg gasoline none found
-Husband took off fuel filter and its getting gas...
This same noise I thought I heard when we first got truck and were pulling horses, its an undercarriage sound similar to driving a vehicle with the emergency break on; at that time we took to dealer and they had to replace "Turbo and EGR valve" which was all covered by warranty and its ran fine until now that was in April this year.
Well we now have "0" warranty, $30K truck-loan, a truck that doesn't pull and now won't start. Engine tries like heck to crank over glow plug lit up and all but cannot start. This is weird considering I stopped 3 times on my way home turning it off to crawl underneath looking at things and it started up fine each time. We have limited warranty on the new "Turbo" Ford put on last April and have a list of things to try but can anyone offer some guidance here? This is our first Diesel and "no I didn't put regular gas in it"
