Two problems related to oil pump have been reported for the 2006 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Fikm, injectors, glo plugs, ipr, harmonic balancer, prv low oil pump, high oil pump, fuel filters all replaced between 277,000 and 290,000 miles ( 1st time on injectors and glo plugs at 277,000 miles on a 6. 0l 2006 super duty diesel)due to lack of power during acceleration between 65 and 75 mph more than once! spent more than $3,000. 00 to date to correct this issue and nothing has worked! Ford has some explaining to do, and it has baffled even one or more of their best mechanics, as well as the tow truck person that had to tow it at 10:00 pm this past week! now who is responsible????? we have owned this truck from new status to present and yes 290,000 miles on a 6. 0l diesel 2006. . Surprise! the vehicle was in motion when this issue happened. . . . On both city streets and interstates, and in the driveway with emer. Brake on and acceleration up to 2000 rpm's and it chugs and spits and sputters and then dies and won't restart until the next day! I can provide you several receipts, but I am not putting them online for all to view VIN numbers, etc. Any information will be greatly appreciated! all this trouble has gone on since April of 2016 to present. My truck is a work vehicle and has been a good one until now and has travelled well for 10 years old and 290,000 miles. I am currently stuck in georgia trying to fix this issue.
I was driving on a two lane blacktop road at 35 mph, when the vehicle unexpectly died losing all power, including steering and brakes. This occurred after I had just exited a u. S. Highway where the speed limit was 65 mph. Due to the fact that I am a former police defensive driving instructor I was able to steer the vehicle to a side street. I bought this vehicle to tow a 14,000 lb. Fifth wheel trailer and I am glad it was not attached. . It turned out that the problem was the stc fitting. Ford told me that this part has a common failure problem and it has been replaced with the revised stc fitting. My concerm is that failure of this part with an inexperienced driver on an interstate could be fatal. The stc fitting is apparently attached to the high pressure oil pump, and when it fails you lose all power and the vehicle will not restart.
