Incident occurred in the afternoon, the temp was about 70 degrees. The truck was loaded with my family (5 including myself); we were traveling over a hill at about 50 MPH. A sign indicated a 6 percent grade. On the way up the hill, at about 2000rpm and about 45 MPH we noticed a large amount of black smoke being expelled from the tailpipe. There was no hesitation on power output at that time, then coasting down the other side of the hill the engine shut down. Fortunately we were able to narrowly avoid the traffic ahead with what little brake action I could apply. When the engine was started again, the "check engine" light came on. After being taken to the dealer the sensors were replaced on the turbocharger and other undisclosed work was done to the engine. Lately the truck has been mimicking these symptoms.

All of the following is documented on fords computer system through magnussens in newark, ca. June04, started with a rough idle problem took my 2004 f350 back to dealer. Did a reflash seem to fix for a while. Progressed to rough and searching idle. Approximately 9 times back to dealer, each time either clear check engine light or replace parts, approximately 7 or 8 days out of service from june till late august, last time replaced the entire turbo assembly. Each time just replaced parts, never did the dealership or ford corporate have a definite answer to what caused the problem. Each time code p0299 was on the check engine. Between the 2 and 9th incidents, the vehicle stalled unexpectedly in the middle of a downhill coasting turn almost resulting in a crash each time. Total of 5 times, last occurrence of stall was first time vehicle presented any problems since turbo replacement on two thursdays ago on my way to work. After I got in to work I called ford support and my dealership and started a replacement process through what ford calls the dsb dispute settlement board. I am not comfortable driving this particular unit any more and fear I might not be able to stop the vehicle safely one of these times it stalls and may cause injury to myself or another. I have done a lot of research regarding others who might have had this problem and it LED me here.
