| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 f 250 super duty with the 6. 0 engine it is a known fact that the bolts that hold the heads down streach when hot letting water into the oil system its all over the interrnet about the 6. O engine that ford provides the only fix is to have the cab removed and replace the bolts with studs that can take the high temp that the engine produces this is only one of the problems but this problem cost me over 5000$ to fix sure would be nice for you all to look into this product that ford has been useing and knows theres a problem with that engine,,you go to trade it in at ford and they see it has a 6. 0 engine in it and the price drops ,way ,way to much for a truck that sold new for 45000$ , i found my truck leaking water in the drive way setting still no reason for it to start leaking ,,i have the bills from ford dealer where i had it fixed if needed please look into this engine its not right to put so much money into a truck that has this problem that not one other engine ford has does what the 6. 0 does ,also bad egr it has to be by passed this stuff should not happen also showed water in gas emptyed the cantainer and then gas gauge stops working and gas light stays on all the time ,,,,never buy ford |
