| Description of the problem | Re-occurring problem with my 2008 ford f-250. The truck upon acceleration surges at 2800-3000 rpm's and blows white smoke out of the exhaust pipe. This only happens during high humid, or rainy days, or while the truck is operating in a steady state of driving for several hours. If you pull off the freeway, and then try to accelerate on the entrance ramp the truck stumbles and looses acceleration. I have had the truck in the dealer several times to try to find the problem, but they were not successful. There are no codes being displayed in the computer. This is going to cause somebody to get run over trying to enter the freeways. Ford is not trying to solve the problems either. |
