Three problems related to manifold/header/muffler/tail pipe have been reported for the 2003 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While preparing for a camping trip this pass summer, I went to check the oil level. When I went to remove the oil dipstick, the dipstick tube broke, due to corrosion. This is the first time in my 25 years of owning a vehicle for that to happen. It would be alright, but in order to replace the tube, it is required to remove the exhaust manifold to properly replace it. In turn it cost more money to replace a product that should not break. I was fueling my truck and wanted to check all my fluids.
I called Ford motor company my 2003 Ford f350 sd. Sc. 4x4 5. 4 eng.
