Electrical system fails every day. It affects the engine, transmission, radio, windows, gauges.

Engine cuts off and won't start back, leaves you stranded side the road. Truck stalls in front of other vehicles. Windows won't roll down when it's 100 degrees inside truck.

We have replaced fuel pressure regulator, regulator, start switch r&r instrument cluster, alternator, batteries and the problem still exist. Have taken it to a Ford dealer and they can not find the problem. They say it is not covered on recall 05v270000.
Truck frame seems to be rotting. Told 3-4 years at most by mechanic. Already replaces fuel tank brackets, any rust recalls as in ones Toyota did a while ago/ also told at 1000,000 mi will need spark plug change (only59000 now) and there was a recall of this plug removal could be difficult. Any help.
Engine would put out white smoke then would start to over heat.
While driving my truck it has stopped running and just shut itself off like its not getting fuel. I have read the complaints on the f250 super duty and my truck is responding exactly the same way. I am afraid to drive it due to someone hitting me or it causing an accident so I looked on here today and saw the recall for the super duty. This is a serious and dangerous issue that someone definitely needs to address. I was driving down the road and the vehicle lost power and I tried to push the pedal to get fuel but nothing happened. I am very lucky the vehicle behind me was back far enough that I turned on my flashers and they noticed or I could have caused an accident or worse.
Pulling into my driveway it started smoking really bad.

Regular driving on open road , no harsh conditions - power loss, without any warning - no engine lights or warnngs - sudden decelleration , jerky response more decelleration - limp off ramp , limp home. Turbo sounding whiny and different , no response to added pressing on gas , nor stop , restart. Has been evaluated at dealership many times and many problems corrected, paid for yet nothing works - regular maintenance is preformed on this vehicle , much care is taken by owner. Very dangerous condition will cause a wreck , can no longer endanger lives, we do everything the dealers ask and condition returns. Must evaluate at new dealership and whether or not can keep. I am getting post traumatic stress from this vehicle and it's lack of unreliable transport . I fear getting into the car for any distance - if I have to return to the bank , I must advise them not to re-sell liability reasons and inform them of chronic lemon problems in this model f250 6. 0 Ford truck .
It took several times before I could crank my truck and once it was started it smoked badly but did eventually clear up. It spit and sputtered on the way to work so I dropped it off at the mechanics shop. The mechanic inspected it and the fuel injector module was bad. I researched the recall list and called the Ford dealership in mobile, al based on the recall list to have the problem repaired; gave them my VIN and was told that my vehicle was not included in any recalls. The dealership offered to repair the module for $900. 00 however the NHTSA id # 05v270000 says there is a recall concerning this issue.
