Ford f-350 diesel-2004 car shut down in the passing lane on pa turnpike. Towed to ford...no insulation on wiring harness, shorted out the truck. The truck stopped dead in the road..now the ford dealer fixed it by putting insulation over it to get me back on the road. It had been in the shop the week before, and the week before that because I complained of losing power on the road when I travel. I don't want to have a fire with my family!
Dt: under acceleration between 25 and 45 MPH the vehicle loses power. There is hesitation when vehicle accelerates. It is as though it bogs down and can not gain any speed. Also, a large amount of black smoke was expelled from the exhaust. When this occurs the truck comes to crawl in middle of traffic, and happens mostly in stop and go traffic, as well as on interstate. Took vehicle to a dealer 4 times for this problem within 28,000 miles. Dealership could not find anything wrong, but did trouble shooting repairs to the computer, and then replaced the turbo.
