Three problems related to engine failure have been reported for the 1999 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own a 1999 Ford F-250 super duty with the 6. 8 liter v-10 engine with 55000 miles. I have suffered catastrophic engine failure due to internal corrosion of the cylinder heads caused by the engine coolant, thereby filling a combustion chamber with engine coolant and subsequently destroying a connecting rod and main bearing. I am seeking any corroborative evidence of similar cases.
While driving 4 hours from home engine failed, has been 26 days and still no replacement.
While driving heard loud knocking all gages registerd ok pulled over had truck towed dealership said had no, oil gages still read ok not hot ,or low oil pressure, told bearing in engine failed need new engine,I have up to date maint. Records why did oil gage or water gage not register a problem befor e engine blowing up . If someone changed there own oil and did not tighten oil pan plug -oil drained out -shouldn't some sort of indicator (check engine) or gages reading abnormal come up before engine blows up please advise ASAP.
