Two problems related to oil pump have been reported for the 2005 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Coming home from a camping trip with a 5th wheel camper & truck just stopped working. Come to find out the stc fitting on high pressure oil pump shot apart & cracked rear timing cover. After being stuck on the highway for over 8 hours, stranded at the campground for 4 more days & $3000 to get it fixed, we then finding out that this is a common problem with this engine. This stc fitting has since been changed by the manufacturer so that it is one piece now, however there has not been a recall on it. We have several Ford vehicles and it is very upsetting to go through all of this when a simple recall could have avoided it. Thank you for your attention to resolving this matter & helping us get a refund for the $3000.
