Egr cooler on my ford f-350 super duty diesel went out a little over a year ago. Truck was under warranty. They fixed it with about a $100 fee. Just today my truck started having the same issue so I took it in and they told me it was the egr cooler and that because of that issue it has ruined the head gaskets also. The mechanic at ford told me that most trucks that have this issue will always have this issue recurring every year or so. Wondering why this has not been recalled by ford. After the mechanic told me about the issue I googled this issue and there are so many that are having this issue or have had it before.
I have a 2004 f350 diesel truck. As I was traveling on i75, the vehicle had a sudden loss of power and speed dropped to below 30 MPH. This caused a problem as I was moving substantially slower than surrounding traffic which was a safety problem. Examination of fuel tank by a repair person showed a delamination of the tank. I have had the tank cleaned out but will have to replace the tank. In researching the problem on the internet this seems to be a common problem with 2004 and 2005 ford trucks.
My 2004 ford 350 super duty began irregular fuel feeding while I was driving down rt 95 from va to ga. I pulled off at an exit in kingsland, ga. And got a room at the days inn. While attempting to park in the motel parking lot...with my foot on the brake...the engine surged and the truck moved at least 15-20 feet forward because of the fuel surging. I had my foot on the brake and never touched the accelerator and I could not stop the truck from moving forward. I had it towed to the local ford dealership where they diagnosed a bad "sensor." they charged me about $1,400 for repairs and it has been working fine since. I am reporting this to the federal safety agency, in part, because of the toyota publicity recently. I'm not a toyota fan, I'm a ford loyalist, but it occurred to me that a surge like the one I experienced in my super duty could have resulted in injury or death to others if it had occurred under other circumstances. My truck is the 6.0 liter model and only had about 52,000 miles on it at the time it began surging. I can probably find the receipt for repairs and the name/number of the ford dealership who repaired the truck if needed. Thanks!

I purchased a used ford f350 super duty 4x4 truck on 11-18-2005, from butler ford in medford or. Since this purchase I have had repeated problems with the turbocharger system on this truck (check engine light on, egr valve,eec &egr , mass air flo sensor, hoses blowing off turbo charger) I have taken this truck to be repaired many times at multiple ford dealerships across the united states ( I was on a vacation, and had continual problems with the hoses blowing off the turbocharger) at the last repair attempt I was told that ford motor co. Was replacing turbochargers on these trucks. I had the turbocharger replaced and had the truck about 1 week when the check engine light came on again , I returned the truck to the dealer repair shop(300.00 in fees again!) when the truck was returned to me I took a trip, approximately 400 miles and again the check engine light is on. Each time this check engine light comes on I have problems with the hoses connecting the turbocharger to the engine manifold blowing off, the truck looses power stranding me on the road. I have had to replace the hoses on my own to continue driving this truck. The last incident I had with this problem I was almost hit by a logging truck while trying to direct traffic around my disabled truck, the trucker who almost hit me called the oregon state police and I was told to remove the truck from the highway or I would receive a citation for having an unsafe vehicle . I have tried to resolve this problem with ford motor co. Customer relations center .when I contact them they tell me there is nothing they can do about this problem even though this truck was still under warranty when it was purchased and has had repeated repair attempts for the same problem.
