 Description of the problemI have had continuous problems with two f550 diesel trucks that i own. They both have had constant problems with lack of power/no power while under it's manufactured warranty and now with no warranty. While driving down the road the truck will loose all power. The vehicles have been repaired at a ford dealership on all occasions until i could no loner deal with the continued problems after spending thousands of dollars and them telling me it's fixed and months down the line or weeks at times the trucks are still having the same problems. Since oct 2010 i have had the same vehicle worked on by two independent mechanics. Every time while in the shop i have had to replace multiple injectors. Finally after thousands and thousands of dollars worth of work and down time i have found an independent mechanic that literally tore the vehicle apart to find the culprit of this continuous problem. He pulled the fuel filter which had been changed just two weeks prior to him getting the truck with these issues and it was literally covered in silver particles. So bad that there were creases in the filter where the fuel was trying to get through the filter but could not. The fuel tank is delaminating which has been causing a restricted fuel issue with the truck which in return knocks out fuel pumps and blows injectors. Thus when this happens the truck completely looses power while you are driving speeds of 55 plus down the road with no warning to you or all the other vehicles behind you. This is a very serious matter in which i believe ford is very aware of and from what i have gathered on the internet in reading about my problems refuses to do anything about it and blames the consumer of where they buy their fuel. I have been told numerous times when complaining to the dealership of the same problems that it where i purchase my fuel. I have all my receipts as well as the fuel filter that is coated with silver shaving.
