2000 Ford F-250 Engine cooling Problems

“I have a 2000 Ford excursion with the 7.3 diesel engine. On 1/12/07, while sitting at a traffic light it killed on me. Started right up and performed ok. On 1/17/07, while accelerating at about 7 miles per hour it stopped running again. I've parked it until I can determine what causes this problem. It is an extreme safety hazard to be stopped in front of fast moving oncoming traffic. Thank you for your help. Bruce mcpherson.”

“Traveling south on hwy 78 in sachse, tx my engine stalled at cruising speed if 45 MPH. I lost all power steering and braking control on my 2000 f250 diesel. I partially got my truck into a turn lane, and after 5 minutes of repeated cranking the truck started again only to stall out 15 seconds later. The date below is approximate, but can be verified as the part was changed under warranty, and explained as normal by my dealership.”

“When accelerating, driver noticed an extra sound from the engine (like a spark knock). Examination revealed that multiple bolts (both manifolds) had broken off resulting in the sound. Has this happened to anyone else's f250 triton v-10? Mileage is 60,000 and vehicle is well maintained and not abused.”

“While turning right, the vehicle stalled without warning. The driver tried to restart the vehicle and was able to do so. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the driver that the camshaft position sensor needed to be replaced. Please provide further details. While making a right turn the vehicle died without warning. The vehicle started after several attempts.”

“Dt: while driving a spark plug came out of vehicle. Had to await for part to be ordered. Took vehicle to a truck stop for repairs. When plug was to be replaced they discovered that treads were all gone out of the head. Called Ford dealership, and said a whole new head would be needed. Had towed vehicle to dealership, and wound cost over $3,000 for repairs an a problem that began with a spark plug.”
