Two problems related to gas recirculation valve (egr valve) have been reported for the 2008 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2008 Ford F-250. The contact stated that fire emitted from the exhaust pipe. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was found that the egr valve assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 190,000.
Have had numerous problems with the cooling system on this vehicle. Had the air charge cooler replaced under warranty at around 70,000 miles. The radiator was leaking as well but dealer refused to replace it and wanted 1400. 00 to replace. Was losing coolant at a rate of about 1 gallon a week going thru the air charge cooler and out the exhaust. At 89,000 miles I had to pay $1947. 00 to replace both the vertical and horizonal egr coolers. Again, dumping a gallon of coolant into the exhaust system a week causing sever smoking and pollutants. This is a serious problem that thousands or probably millions of F-250 and others with the 6. 4l diesel engine. Ford refused to do the right thing and do a total recall on these ill designed trucks. I cannot believe they have been allowed to get away with turning their head on this design flaw and not made to correct the air charged coolers, plastic radiators and the egr coolers.
