| Description of the problem | Engine - while driving on a highway, went to pass a car and the engine light came on and the message was the engine will be shutting down. I pulled to the side of the road and the truck turned itself off. What the ford mechanic said the #4 fuel injector stayed wide open, therefor burning up the piston. The truck had 128,000. Miles. It is sad that a small part like that can cause an engine failure. Had to buy a new motor ($15,000. And they would only warranty it for 2 years.) was told i could have my truck back in 5 days. It took 5 wks to get my truck back with the new engine. Picked it up at 4pm on wednesday. Thursday at 9:30am check engine light came on. The check engine light has come on three more times. |
