2003 Ford F-350 SD Electrical system Problems

“2003 Ford f-350 diesel stalling. Vehicle stalls without warning. Condition started within the first 7000 miles. Dealer seemed to remedy as the condition never recurred until 37k miles; now, 42k miles. Commenced stalling in feb 2006 and has stalled 6 times from feb 2006 to august 2006. The second time it stalled, we were in freezing rain in 4x4 driving my wife to work (she didn't want to drive in those conditions) the vehicle stalled on top of tall bridge 300 ft over the willamette river in ice conditions. …”

“My 2003 Ford f-350 super duty truck speedometer and odometer quick working and required replacement of the entire instrument panel. It took months to get a replacement unit from Ford because (according to the dealer) the units were so back-ordered due to the high rate of failure of this particular assembly.

During the months I drove without a speedometer and odometer, there was no way to determine how fast I was driving nor any accurate means of keeping track of the actual mileage of the vehicle. The dealer kept the faulty unit. …”

“Took truck in to get computer updates (132000 mi). Dealer discovered 12 quarts of fuel in crankcase. Had to get injector seals replaced ($1200).

In august 2004 had to have front end rebuilt even though I had done required maintenance ($450)vehicle lost power (12/20/04)(182000 mi). Stopped to check for problem. Engine restarted. I shut it off and tried to restart. It would turn over but not start. Had towed to dealer. They had 20 different codes come up on computer diagnostic. …”

“Ford f350 equipped with 6.0l diesel engine experienced stalling without warning while driving and/or while applying brakes. This looks to be the same issue that affected vehicles in the 2004-2005 recall. Icp sensor light is lit and most likely will need to be replaced. Separate or related issue? : engine will rev-up while driving and produce acceleration without gas pedal being applied. Engine will rev-up and/or idle high while in park and when stopped/brakes applied.”
