problem #2

Dec 152006

F-350 4WD 8-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
I have had two camshaft position sensor failures on my 97' F350 7.3L diesel in a matter of one year. This left me stranded on both occasions. I discovered on several Ford truck discussion forums that this is one the most common failures on these trucks through a variety of years. I could not find any person who owned a similar year truck and did not have this component fail on them. Please take action on this issue.
