F-250 4WD 8-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,000 miles
2004 F-250 king ranch FX4 with 6.0L diesel engine, all stock condition as ordered and received on February 11, 2004. Dealer made programming change to the PCM on July 12, 2004, but vehicle has not run correctly since problematic symptoms began on 7/10/04. Symptoms include: (1) lack of power and studdering from 600 RPM to 1,200 RPM followed by a sudden and unprovoked increase in power. (2) rhythm tic increases and decreases (surging) of approximately 2,000 RPM in the turbocharger at cruise (even while on cruise control). (3) check engine light remains on. The continuous surging of the turbocharger will result in a premature failure of the turbine followed by fatigue and eventual failure of the transmission.

F-250 8-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,500 miles
The vehicle experienced power surges with no load in the trailer. This would occur on less of an incline with a stronger surge. The problem was intermittent and would go to base idle which occured often but not always before the power surge. The "glow light" and fuel light would come on.
