“2011 Ford f250 crewcab fx4 6.7l diesel engine. Sometimes you push on the gas and nothing happens and it takes a few seconds and it kicks in and goes. Towing a fifth wheel thru a stop sign with a 18 wheeler bearig down on you sucks. Almost didn't make it out of the way. This happen twice in one day. The dealer heard noise from my fuel pump so the they changed the fuel filters and I had a recall for some computer upgrade data thingy. I only have 24k miles and this has happened a few other times without a load on it (towing or not). Did I just spend $61,000 on a death trap?? …”
