I HAVE 2008 FORD F450 WITH 60 K MILES AND RADIATOR START LEAKING AT THE BOTTOM AND IT WAS BUILDING PREASSURE ON THE TOP OF ATIFREAZE BOX AND HEAT AIR STOPED WORKING AND FORD DEALER THAT I BOUGHT FROM DISNT COVER THE WARRANTY I PAID 1400$ TO GET PROBLEM FIXED AND IT SECOND RADIATOR THAT I CHANGED FROM MY POCKET !!!! I THINK FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING WITH THAT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR ALL 2008-2014 POWER STROKE DIESEL ENGINES

INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE DONE ON 2008 FORD F450SD 6.4L TRUCKS ON THE BOLTS THAT ARE USED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR THE EXHAUSTS. HAVE A BOLT THAT BROKE THAT IS NOW CAUSING A WHISTLING SOUND UNDER ACCELERATION AND EXHAUST FUMES TO ESCAPE. ON THE DRIVER SIDE FOUR OTHER BOLTS HAVE BROKEN OFF IN THE HEAD UNIT THAT WILL REQUIRE FOR THE ENGINE OR CAB TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE BOLTS. THE REPAIR FACILITY MY TRUCK IS LOCATED HAS FOUR OTHER 6.4L FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS SITTING THEIR FOR THE SAME REPAIRS. SEEMS TO ME THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TYPE OF STUDS AND BOLTS THE MANUFACTURER USED. RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE OTHER TRUCKS WERE F250, F350, AND F450 SUPER DUTY 6.4L TURBO DIESEL. THE EXHAUST FUMES IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AFYER STOPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND LOSS POWER. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TURBO PRESSURE GAUGE DROPPED. I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT A MANAFOLD BOLT HAD BROKEN WHICH CAUSED A BAD EXHUAST LEAK. REPAIR COST WAS $3500. I DROVE THE TRUCK LESS THAN 50 MILES OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WITH LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE LIGHT ON. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAD EXPLODED AND SENT METAL DEBRIS THROUGH OUT THE FUEL SYSTEM. I WAS THEN TOLD THE REPAIR COST WERE GOING TO $7500 ($6000 FOR PARTS AND $1500 FOR LABOR). THIS IS A BAD FORD ENGINEERING DESIGN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY FORD AS WELL AS A RECALL ON ALL MODELS USING THE SAME HPFP ASSEMBLY.
WE ARE ORIGINAL OWNERS.TRUCK ONLY USED TO HAUL DRINKING WATER. THAT IS WHY THE MILEAGE IS LOW. IN MARCH WE SMELLED GASOLINE IN DRIVE BUT WE HAVE SEVERAL CARS AND COULDN'T PINPOINT PROBLEM OR SEE GAS ON GROUND. WE HAD FILLED UP THE TRUCK AND THOUGHT MAYBE SOME GAS HAD SPILLED. AFTER THAT WE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENCES OF DRIVING DOWN ROAD 40-60 MPH AND TRUCK SLOWED TO 20MPH. IT STALLED AND CAME TOA COMPLETE STOP ON A FEW OCCASIONS. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART IT. LOCAL SHOP RAN DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND NOTHING WAS EVIDENT. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER TODAY AND MECHANIC SAYS THE GAS TANK HAS IMPLODED DUE TO CRACK AND DIRT GOT IN AND FUEL PUMP IS CLOGGED. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY INCIDENCE OF DAMAGE TO OUR VEHICLE AND NO INCIDENT THAT WOULD CAUSE THE FUEL TANK TO SPLIT. WE FOUND ON THE INTERNET A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN 2012 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND MODEL OF VEHICLE WE HAVE.WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL OR POTENTIAL PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO STEER TO THE BERM.
