Diesel Engine problems of the 2005 Ford F-550

Truck was purchased brand new by my company in 2005. This problem began in 2008. I have records of preventative maintenance being done per manufacturer instructions. I also had the pm done at the dealership. The chief problem is the engine has continual power issues which include stalling, shaking, excess smoking. The engine just stops running which is a huge safety risk while driving it. Since 2008 this truck has been to the dealership via tow truck for the same chief complaint at least 12 times. Each time the dealership will work on the egr valve, the egr cooler, the oil cooler, the icp valve, injectors, head and intake gaskets, the computers shoot codes such po261, po264, po267, po269, po270 and po273, po276, po279, po280 and po611. This trucks engine needs recalled to find the main problem. It is now 2012 my truck is 7 years old with just at 100,000 miles. This is a diesel engine 6. 0 they are suppose to last longer than gasoline engines however this engine has major safety recurring problems that are dangerous to the public highway and the people driving on it. It also has cost thousands of dollars in unsuccessful repairs and lost work time for my company.

We started experiencing problems with the wheels, brakes, electrical, engine and vehicle stalling when being driven in 2005-2008. Continued to have problems in 2009 with the transmission, coolant, lack of power, batteries and vehicle stalling while being driven. The Ford dealer diagnosed as a turbo problem, head gasket, vc gasket, egr, oil cooler, no oil pressure. A new turbo was installed. In December 2009 the truck stalled while driving, due to a failed turbo hose. Jan. 2010, the truck stalled again. The cam sensor, injector and ficm were replaced. In April and may 2010, the truck stalled again and all the injectors were replaced. In March 2011, the truck stalled again and the cam sensor and injectors were replaced again. April 2011, the injector needed to be replaced again. Updated 10/20/11.

- at a stop sign the contact was getting ready to accelerate across a main road with this 05 Ford F-550 super duty. While accelerating the vehicle completely lost power, stalling in the middle of the road. Before vehicle completely stalled, the check engine warning light came on within a second after the engine light came on the vehicle stalled out. The vehicle was towed into dealership and at the dealership they stated that the oil pump pressure dropped below 20 pounds causing the vehicle to shot off automatically. Updated 02/22/07.
