| Description of the problem | My 2005 ford f-250 superduty has had on going problems with the turbo and injection system on the 6. 0l diesel. Initially the dealer "cleaned" the injectors, then at approximately 1000 miles after, at 16k miles the ford dealership had to replace the entire turbo unit. I was told i need to drive the truck daily, and drive it hard, essentially "beat on" the truck in order for it to run well. I have started to notice a loss in fuel economy again as well as a decline in power. |
