Four problems related to engine and engine cooling have been reported for the 2010 Ford F-250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Ford F-250 super duty king ranch (2010) with a 6. 4 powerstroke engine. The 3rd cylinder blew up and the piston came apart and scarred the cylinder wall up. This is supposedly a known issue with the new emissions equipment that was added to the vehicle to force diesels to have to pass smog. This issue should have been addressed by Ford when it started happening to avoid people having to replace their engines at a cost of $20k.
