2005 Ford F-250 Engine Problems

“This particular model and year with the 6.0 litre engine (2005 ) is nortorious for the oil cooler to blow up leaving you stranded wherever. When it happened to me I was pulling a 33ft 5th wheel trailer and almost wrecked. Ford knows all about this faulty piece of equipment yet doesn't recall it and should be held accountable for replacing it. It cost me $6000 to get my truck fixed. The faulty piece was installed by Ford and should be responsible by Ford for repair costs”

“While driving on m-37 I noticed white steam coming out of exhaust. Noticed engine temp rising. I stopped cooled engine and brought truck home, where it has been since then.

No crank/no start, no start/cranks, no start/bucking and stalling engine. These issues relate to the injector wiring harness due to chaffing and crushing, a very time consuming task. Technician verified the harness is worn and wires are exposed. …”

“F250 6.0l diesel with 85844 miles had the EGR/oil cooler go bad the repair cost 4744.00 at the dealer. I have an extended warranty but as usual not covered. This a known problem with these 6 liters along with the head bols being substandard and faulty ficm which I replaced at the cost of 525.00 and doing the work myself.
