2008 Ford F-350 SD Fuel system Problems

“I have 2008 Ford f350 xlt 4x4 srw diesel just over a year and what have happened now is that on 08/02/1010 while I was driving there were noises from the engine also sooo much of white smoke coming out from exhaust pipe and then the truck just failed on the highway and was towed to the closest Ford dealer location after a week sitting there service people from dealership said that was oil and fuel spillage all over the filter and the engine etc.. …”

“While driving my 2008 f350 superduty diesel powered truck at 45mph for approx 4 miles, received message exhaust drive complete immediately followed by stop safely now and complete powerdown of engine. The truck decelerated so fast that despite my flooring the throttle, the car behind me almost collided. The truck lost so much power that I could not safely pull off road and was in a rural area between two blind curves. The whole incident happened in less than 30 seconds and left truck completely vulnerable to whatever traffic conditions were at the time of incident. …”

“Shortly after the truck is up to operating temperature a constant plume of white smoke continuously emits from the exhaust. Fuel economy has had a substantial loss. During lower levels (1/4 or lower levels of diesel) of fuel capacity the engine will stall and die upon take off. Attempting to restart afterwards was very difficult. During this process a wrench appears on the dash and that's about it. I have not checked codes yet and the check engine lite in on.”

“Loses power while driving can not get any speed almost got hit on interstate since it dropped speed from 70 to 40 fuel pump replaced still at dealers has been there for 3 weeks had it in the shop a few months ago for cooling system this is supposed to be a heavy duty truck there is a number of problems with these trucks . With 73 bulletins on them I think it is a safety issue !!!!!!!!!”

“Was driving at approximately 40mp when the engine just stopped and lost power. This happened on 2 more occasions. Once while pulling out onto a busy street, and was almost hit by oncoming traffic. Cannot risk injury, so took it right to a reputable local diesel mechanic. Diesel mechanic states that entire fuel system must be replaced. Faulty hi pressure fuel pump disintegrated and sent metal thru fuel system. This will cost $8000 to fix. Was told this was the first year bug for a new design. Ford will not replace parts or warranty this. …”
