The cast aluminum wheels on the f350 Ford super duty dully can break, and did on my truck. The wheels are not strong enough to support the weight of the truck with the 7. 3 liter diesel engine. If the front wheel breaks on this truck on the highway at normal speeds someone is going to die. My truck weighs just short of 8,000 lbs. It has never been driven off road and never been abused, such as pot holes, curbs, and that sort of thing. I did file a report with Ford mtr. Company and their comment was we will put your complaint on file and notify the engineers. I believe they already knew they had a problem with the wheels because the newer trucks have a beefyer wheel. My truck is a 2000.
