Ongoing problem with the 6. 0 diesel in the 2005 Ford f250 super duty trucks.
The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-250 sd. While driving 70 mph, the steering wheel and the front end of the vehicle would shake uncontrollably. The shaking would not stop until the vehicle came to a complete stop. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The current mileage was 30,000 and failure mileage was 22,000.
5/13/06 I came home from about a 75 mile drive, pulling a horse trailer in my 2005 f250 6. 0 power stroke. I went in the house and less than 10 minutes later, my girlfriend asked why is your truck steaming? I could tell it was smoke. I was able to get a few items out and noticed the paint bubbling on the hood. I unhooked the trailer and was able to move the truck about 100 feet, less than a minute later the truck was totally engulfed in flames. A total loss. It had less than 8000 miles. I had tools, toolbox, car seat, and over $2800 in tires wheels and lift that were 2 months old. I had full coverage insurance. They offered me $12000 less than a new truck, and that included the rest of my property. Today I talked to someone that lives 20 miles from me, they had an 2004 f250 powerstroke. Same thing happened to them 11 months ago, parked the truck a few minutes later it's on fire. Thanks Ford!.
Blown spark plug. Trashed head. Truck is undrivable.
