Ford F-250 Change Vehicle

"We purchased this u9nit in late 2010 with 89000 miles, as is. within a month the engine failed due to loss of oil pressure and water in the oil. we replaced with new Ford reman engine. Since that time we have had to replace that engine and 3 more,"

"Fuel injector caused a piston to fail. Had to replace engine. Cost $ 8K"

"head bolts expanded, had to do an EGR delete or other recommended upgrades inherent to the 6.0 liter diesel"

"The engine is a piece of $*!!. I could spend $6000.00 on EGR delete, head bolt/head gasket/oil pick up, to make it more "dependable," but I shouldn't have to when I spent over $55,000 for the truck brand new. Ford knows this. I will never buy another"

"blew a head gasket"

"Head gasket, injectors, disabled egr valve. Replaced with some kind of chip. Now getting 15mpg with lots more power. $8000.00"

"Diesel 6.0 known for head bolt issues. I had the Heads pulled, EGR bypass, High pressure fuel pump. EGR cooler, new head bolts and gasket. the entire cab has to come off for this. Cost over $6000.00 (dealer $ was $10,000)"

"Clamp broke"

"Turbocharger "Cokes" up resulting in engine check light turning on. This condition is carbon solidifying thereby freezing the turbocharger from functioning"

"I was told there was a plugged oil cooler and/or filter which caused the turbo to constantly oscilate the RPMs up and down at virtually all speeds. Besides driving the occupants crazy I'm certain it also detracted from the power and fuel efficiency"

"The turbo supercharger quit working, had it rebuilt under warranty"

"Turbo failed on a trip pulling 5th wheel trailer. It would overload and stop working. It would work again after shutting down the engine and restarting"

"turbo blades distorted and loosened at very low milage"

"had to replace EGR cooler and have the turbo cleaned"

"We were moving from California to Texas and the Ford was towing a 15 ft "tow hauler" with some 2 small All Terrain Vehicles and tires. The turbo went out 35 miles into the trip. Limped into a reputable garage which was closing soon. Garage fixed th"

"$4000 in repaires for inter coolers because Ford anti-frees wa not used"

"Turbo failed under warranty. Erg failed 200 miles later"

"The EGR valve on the Diesel engine is unnecessarily expensive to get to. I paid over $3000 to replace a $150 part. Otherwise, the truck and engine are very sturdy and capable"

"all injectors failed"

"replaced injectors replaced alternator"

"Fuel Injection Control Module failed due to the low powered alternator installed by Ford for this model which does not produce enough power for a diesel and causes FICMs and batteries to fail prematurely. Installed a higher powered alternator"

"Fuel Injection Control Module replaced"

"The 6.0 are notorious for having issues. Fuel injectors having to be replaced several times. EGR valve and turbo replacement as well. Also had to replace Oil Cooler"

"Rebuilt injectors going bad. Recommend only using new injectors. This has been a reliable vehicle, I would expect to have to replace injectors with over 300,000 miles on it"

"failed"

"Many times sensors go out because they are too sensitive if they are used as a work vehicle and are used often"

"Newer Diesels have so many sensors, and with 300,000 miles on vehicle some of them are going to go bad. Normal wear"

"froze up"

"Right rear caliper stuck causing wheel to begin smoking. Several months later the left rear one did the same thing"

"Failure of front right brakes while towing a trailer"

"rear caliper froze"

"Front driver's caliper locked the brake on that side. May have caused a fire if I kept driving. Replaced both front calipers. Note: same thing happened on the 2005 F250 identical truck I owned before this one, except it was the left rear caliper"

"Brakes needed to be Replaced. Normal wear"

"entire brake [parking] system drum, calipers etc. needed to be replaced, consider, general wear and tear"

"Brakes Locked up. Replaced Rotor, Calipers and Pads"
