One problem related to radiator hose has been reported for the 2003 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I just entered a safety complaint regarding brake rotors rusting (( 10328142 ) on my 2003 Ford f250 7. 3 l diesel. This complaint regards rusting out radiator hose brackets. On July 6 th 2007 a radiator hose clamp rusted out , and I rapidly lost cooling, while on interstate 68 in MD traveling at 65 mph towing a travel trailer. I managed to stop the vehicle and trailer safely but had to be towed to a dealer for repairs. This was on a 4 year old truck. ( just recently in conjunction with the rotor problem a wiring clamp rusted out under the body leaving loose dangling wires. At the time I thought it was a single rusting issue. Now that I am experiencing multiple failures I know the problems are more extensive.
