2008 Ford F Super Duty Engine Problems

“My truck began cutting off on me while I was driving every now and then. Now it is doing it more and more. I had no idea what it was, so a couple of times I thought it might have been bad gas so I changed gas and starting using amoco gas and put fuel injector cleaner in my gas tank. That did not fix the problem. Now I am losing pressure while I am driving. I called Ford motors and they told me that my vehicle is not a part of the recall, but my vehicle is doing the same thing that is in the recall. …”

“2008 Ford f450 6.4l turbo diesel problems my wife truck broke down on her with 137000 miles on it coming back from south carolina in july 2016. Mechanics found metal shaving in the oil filter housing. Long story short, had to have the long block replaced on the truck. 15,000 dollars to fix this issue.

One families truck broke down on them three weeks after buying it on there way home from a horse show. …”

“I was traveling down a two lane road in my 2008 f250 pickup (diesel) on 26 jan 2016 about 35 MPH, and came upon a stop sign. I released the gas pedal and started braking. The engine started accelerating, even though I was applying the brakes. The vehicle was in four wheel drive (high), so all four tires were spinning fast, and kept the vehicle moving forward. I stood on the brake pedal with both feet, and after going several feet into the intersection, it finally stopped. I quickly shifted into neutral, and a few seconds later the problem stopped. I then continued on my way. …”

“This truck has been an issue from the time we bought it. We have contacted Ford multiple times and their response is keep your receipts just in case. We have replaced the turbos both high and low end twice and they are starting to act up again. Traveling 60 MPH down the road you lose all turbo pressure causing you to lose power. You have to pull over shut the truck off and re-crank it. The truck shuts off while driving without throwing a check engine light. The belt tensioner has separated coming down the highway shutting off complete power at 60 MPH. …”

“The radiator is leaking were the side tanks are attached to the core and both the upper and lower radiator hoses are leaking. When I had the pickup in the dealership for service I was advised that there was upgraded radiator hoses available. The dealership recommended I replace them to prevent hose failure. This would be at my cost, but clearly are factory defects. When I had several different local mechanics give me estimates and asked what the problem was, and told them what year and model Ford I had they all described the same leaks in the radiators and hoses. …”
