1999 Ford F-350 SD Engine cooling Problems

“Multiple cps failures. I've had 2 sensors fail in a 40,000 mile period. When the sensor fails the engine shuts off. It's not a fun ride when you have a trailer weighing close to 10,000 pounds on the back of a truck that looses power without warning. I now carry a brand new packaged spare sensor and tools to change it in my truck at all times.”

“The cps unit on my 1999 Ford f-350 7.3 diesel motor gave out with no warning whatsoever. We were driving on a very curvy road and I was barely able to maintain control of the truck (no brakes, no power steering). It seems that these cps units fail over and over on all of these Ford diesels. I can't help but think that they are very, very dangerous and that somebody has had to have died from this.”

“On novemebr 20, 2009 I took my Ford f350 to a dealer for recall work, cam sensor replacement 07s57. The dealer did not replace the sensor but visual checked it. I wrote a letter to Ford on november 30, 2009 explaining the problem and they assigned case number to my problem. On january 7, 2010 I wrote a second letter to Ford asking for a decision and have not received a response. All I want is a Ford guaranteed cam sensor installed in my truck per the recall notice.”

“Ford f350 v10, multiple spark plug ejections from cylinder heads. Has happened many times, reinserted plugs per fords recommendation, as if I was unable to properly torque plugs. Now I am left with my families truck, stripped heads and no money to fix it.”

“I have had two major problems with this truck. My first issue was very dangerous in my opinion. The cam sensor went out which caused my truck to suddenly stop while I was driving it. Every system shut down including brakes. More than once I was going 70mph and it suddenly stopped - I had to guide myself to the shoulder and stop the truck with no brakes. Very very scary! I had the truck to several dealers al told me they had no idea what was wrong. …”
