problem #1

F-250 4WD 8-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 800 miles
2004 Ford F250 Super Duty king ranch. After reflash to repair an idle problem truck developed three very dangerous conditions. 1. cruise stalled - going down hill at approx 55-58 the truck will stall without warning. No power steering or brakes. Reproducable on demand. 2. downshift lockup - truck will lockup rear tires in excess of 30 feet if tow/haul mode is used. On first occasion it almost caused a major accident on highway, came within inches of a head on with a large dump truck while towing a boat. Reproducable on demand. 3. coast stall. Intermittently stalls usually at off ramps after cruise has been released. Extremly dangerous to take offramps in such a large vehilce with no power.
