| Description of the problem | Lifters and cam have failed. And has trashed the motor. Have asked for help from ford and they have denied claim. The problem with this is that $55,000. 00 truck that is advertised to be super duty and should last 400000 to 500000 miles with only miner engine repairs, this should not be happening. Ford knows for a fact that they have a faulty motor and faulty internal parts on all the 2008 thru 2010 6. 4 l diesel motors. That's why they designed a new motor and are suing navistar the engine designer. Now you can go all over the internet and find thousands of customers with the same problems and more. Ford knows that the lifters will fail at some premature point, and the rocker arms will break. One of the problems is that there is so much back pressure on the motor due too the particulate filter. That has even been re-deigned in there new 6. 7 motor. Why is there not a recall on this motor or some kind of mandatory retrofit or financial aid to fix these problems. On another note i have all most had a least 8 head on collisions from lost power due to the egr coolers failing or the particulate filter clogging up. This is a common problem with this engine also you can be in great danger when trying to pass someone. I hope to hear from some one soon.. Thank you in this matter. How can ford turn their backs on loyal americans....... |
