Fuel leak, fuel pressure regulator housing, fuel heater thermostat replaced 6/12/00. Needs fuel injector o-rings and new fuel filter. Estimate $690.00 hooks ford commented this is a "common" problem for these trucks because of the polyurethane seals. Ford is no longer using the polyurethane seals. This problem is causing oil to leak into the gas line. Is this a driving or epa hazard?
1996 Ford F-350 engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The emissions tubes have constantly burned out of this truck. They have been replaced numerous times! The dealer stated that these particular parts have been redesigned by ford twice. This defect has caused two minor fires in the firewall. We have been unable to get a full accounting of all work done at all the different dealerships it has been in. I know ford can pull up all warranted work done by VIN however they will not do so. I was told by a foreman at a ford truck service center in cullman, alabama that these particular trucks were prone to this defect and most people did not realize this was a facroty problem and traded them off. We cannot afford to "trade it off" and would be liable if we did not let prople know of this problem. Currently our extended warranty has expired and all 4 tubes are burnout.
Oil pump failure.
The serpentine belt tensioner is not working properly. Ford has put out a tsb for the tensioner. The failing part needs to be replaced. When the belt comes off the tensioner, and the pulleys up front, the truck loses power steering capability as well as power brake capability. If for example my wife was driving the truck, she would probably have an accident because she is not strong enough to turn or press the brakes with enough force to operate the truck to a safe stop. So far I have gone through five belts since oct 1995. I just found out about the tsb through a friend who also owns a powerstroke engine. The tsb is numbered 96-17-19.
Front bumper replaced due to poor metal finishing
Front end stabilizer bar bent, causing vibration.
Axel seals failed.
