Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Ford F-350 - part 2

1. Spark plug wire failures: oincident 1: on December 15, 2024, a spark plug wire failure on cylinder #1 caused a misfire and check engine light (code p0301), reducing engine power while towing a 10,000-pound trailer on I-90. Wendle Ford spokane repaired it under warranty. Oincident 2: on April 10, 2025, another failure on a different cylinder triggered a misfire and check engine light, requiring a $766 repair (invoice attached). These failures are a known defect in 2020–2022 super duty trucks, per owner forums and a 7. 3l motorhome technical service bulletin. Osafety risk: misfires reduce power and control, endangering occupants and other drivers, especially during heavy towing in winter conditions. 2. Front differential failure: oon April 5, 2025, the front differential failed, disabling 4x4 throughout the 2024–2025 winter. Discovered during a snowstorm on a rural job site, the loss of 4x4 compromised traction and stability, requiring a one-week repair. Osafety risk: loss of 4x4 in adverse conditions increases the risk of skidding or stranding, particularly for a heavy-duty truck used in construction.

Possibly the new program used to reprogram the computer is either for newer vehicles with different engines and/or transmissions.

Engine is the 2. 7 ecoboost and is becoming louder and louder with many ticks and sounds whether you are driving or idling the vehicle at a stop light. Every morning the engine ticks and revs very high and emits huge billowing white smoke from the exhaust whether it’s warm or cold outside. Believe the engine is needing to be replaced in the upcoming recall from Ford for the exact engine.

I've gotten about 15 to 20 on-screen messages that tell me my vehicle may not restart, my dash just dies in the middle of driving, my car will shut off by itself one started, my air conditioning will shut off automatically, I've got an issue with craftsmanship on my rear driver side door, and a plastic molding part just fell off my truck. I have taken pictures or videos as evidence where I could when it was safe to do so. It started in April but started documenting it in may after several repeat issues. I have more photos and video but can't upload them here due to size limitations.
