Six problems related to engine cooling system have been reported for the 2008 Ford F-350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I bought a 2008 super duty with the 6. 4 l diesel engine in it. I noticed that the radiator was leaking on the bottom driver side. I decided to do some research on the internet to see if it were a common problem , to my suprise it was. Everyone that has a super duty truck with the 6. 4 l complaint about the same problem , radiator leaking on the bottom driver side. Some of the owners recorded that it was their 3 rd radiator in their truck. I did some research on carfax and noticed that atleast 7 trucks out of 20 that were for sale in the memphis area had their radiators replaced and some trucks more than 3 times. I went to the dealer and they look at my radiator and told me that they would replace it under warranty. They also looked and made sure that my truck had the venturi kit installed on it, that Ford had a recall on the cooling system back in 08 , it was installed. After they removed my radiator the service man told me that if my thermostats were not at fault that I had to pay for the radiator. My thermostats he said were fine so I was responsible to pay for a new radiator. I strongly believe Ford should be hold accountable for these cooling systems that is failling . To me they are only patching a problem and hope it will last till the warranty is over and then it is the owners problem . To many owners out there has the same problem for me to except responsibility for what is cleary a bad defect on the cooling system. My truck has only 64 000 miles on it, and I dont even tow anything.
