Nine problems related to diesel engine have been reported for the 2008 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have submitted my request for a recall to be issued on all 2008 Ford f350sd for the exhaust temperature sensor failure causing the vehicle to shutdown. Looks as though a recall was issued for 2012 Ford 6. 7l ambulance packages: F-350 engine recall number: 13v535000 recall date: 10/30/2013 problem summary: Ford motor company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 F-350/450/550 ambulance package vehicles manufactured February 22, 2010, through October 19, 2012 and equipped with a 6. 7l diesel engine. Due to an exhaust sensor problem, the vehicles may experience loss of power followed by an engine stall. Consequence: an unexpected engine stall increases the risk of a crash. Additionally, if this were to occur when the ambulance is transporting a patient, there is an increased risk of injury to the patient. Corrective action: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the exhaust gas temperature sensor, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin by the end of November 2013. Owners may contact Ford motor company customer relationship center at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's recall campaign number is 13s10. Sure if a crash can result in the vehicle shutting down on a 6. 7l, it could also occur on a 6. 4l 2008 Ford f350 super duty that is not an ambulance package. A crash is what almost happen when my wife's vehicle shutdown on her due to the sensor going out heading down hill with no power steering. Investigate this and have Ford held accountable. I have emailed Ford on several occassions and this is their latest response: our records indicate that you contacted the Ford crc on 9/30/14, and our customer care representative advised you that we have documented your comments which will be forwarded to the appropriate department for review and consideration. Wow "for review and consideration".
