2004 ford f250 super duty egr valve & oil cooler at a cost of $2400.00 to have my truck fixed. There are allot of other complaints posted but it looks like no one is doing anything to get after ford motors to recall this big expensive problem to consumers. Its bad enough the trucks cost so much. Ford is able to increase their profits by not recalling and fixing this expensive problem. I'm a disabled veteran and it took all my money for a month to get my truck back. I could not buy food or pay my bills because it went to getting my truck back with only 1/4 tank of fuel. So now I cannot drive anywhere until the dec 1 2011 when my next government check comes. Please help!

Reference the federal safety agency case ea5003, ford recall 05s34. Truck currently at power ford, torrance, 310 784-4700. Power ford refuses to do required work.
