Vehicle stalls while driving very frequently, almost every time its driven. Very dangerous to lose power while operating. We took the truck to a dealer who is installing new parts, which are covered under a recall of this exact make, model, year. We were informed by ford, that our truck was excluded due to being produced in the month prior to the recall begin date. Recall is on 2004 ford f250 super duty 6.0 diesel, my truck exactly. Everything stated in the recall is the same. Same problem, same answer. It is costing around $1600.00 for the repairs. The recall number is 05v270000. Obviously this recall should include a larger number of vehicles.

I have owned the truck for approx. 9 months, (third owner). While towing my travel trailer or going uphill unloaded, the turbo will howl loudly and the truck will experience a significant power loss (cannot maintain adequate speed above 45 MPH). Also I average only 9 mpg city and 11.9 mpg highway unloaded weight. I have taken the truck to antelope valley ford as well as the previous owner and get the same response, "cannot duplicate. It seems as if ford has instructed their technicians to "cannot duplicate" all complaints in an effort to avoid fixing under warranty.
