Replace the petcock and tighten it in a clockwise direction once the coolant has fully drained. Disconnect all components blocking access to the thermostat by removing their bolts. Under certain circumstances this may lead to loss of control of the vehicle, collision, injury and possibly death. This could be from an engine hard part, sensor or wiring. If you dont have a esp call the 1-800-392-3673 and polilty ask if they will give you one for your troubles. The manufacturer was contacted but offered no assistance.
After the first year of normal usage, I have come to expect some level of issues. There is an erratic connection on your electronic fuel injection line, the computer box connection to earth or on the main plug, or one of the sensors on the engine is starting to play up, as itself within, is connecting erratically, which will eventually break down completely given time. Many times, this issue needs to be addressed by a mechanic however. Thank you in this matter. I have been a long time truck owner and have seen my fair share of problems. Using Special tools 211-185 and 303-S455, or equivalent, install the coolant pump drive pulley 5.
By - December 16, 2009 The 2008 Ford F350 features a number of new additions from 2007. Refill the coolant that you drained from the radiator back into the white plastic coolant tank and replace the cap. Most times it's caused from a transmission problem. Once again, a flush and fill is recommended to remove debris. Oct 16, 2016 An overheated engine can be caused by anything that decreases the cooling system's ability to absorb, transport and dissipate heat; therefore engines can overheat for a variety of reasons. Have asked for help from Ford and they have denied claim. Hopefully this is indeed a fluke and the next 200k miles will be worry free.
This is my first Ford in 30 years behind the wheel and my first diesel. It has placed the engine in limp or reduced power mode to minimize potential damage. Replace the hose clamps in their original position with a pair of pliers. While driving in reverse at 1 mph, the vehicle went into fast idle mode and suddenly lunged backwards. The current and failure mileages were 1,000. It was going through the air charge and out the exhaust. Until now I didn't know if this was an issue.
On 25 Apr 2013 radiator was discovered to be cracked and leaking from right side seam at 58,520 miles. I would have to assume that there would be a pile of diesel trucks in southeast Texas in for service if it was an issue with their fuel. The '11's have been much more solid for sure, but sometimes things can break anyway. Wrong Coolant Concentration Be sure to use the coolant recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer. I would have to assume that there would be a pile of diesel trucks in southeast Texas in for service if it was an issue with their fuel. Let's take a look at some of the most common causes. Exploded view of the water pump-2.
For the record, both the and engines use Bosch high pressure fuel injection systems. Also added for better acoustics is the composite steel material used for dashboard construction, a rear bulkhead panel, more robust side glass, and additional padding on the floor and dash. That has even been re-deigned in there new 6. Talked to service dept today and they said 1 of the engine thermostats failed not sure which one I know there are two. Now you can go all over the internet and find thousands of customers with the same problems and more. It is noted that while searching the internet it was discovered that this appears to be a common problem with these 6.
I have had the truck to the dealer several time and they say it is normal for the truck to do this because it is part of the emissions. I too drank the grape drink, but I also have the antidote sell the truck. Using Special tool 303-S455, or equivalent, remove the coolant pump drive pulley 5, Disconnect the heater hose from the coolant pump. These things are about as reliable as you can get at the moment, and are so far proving to be better than the Siemens units found on 6. The standout is the 6. The antifreeze in the coolant causes it to be very slippery.
Lots of great info to be found there that would be beneficial for you to know before you make the purchase. I also use a high volume fuel station under a global brand name in an effort to keep moisture to a minimum and good fuel in the tank. Stated the radiator was leaking also. My brother has a 2008 F350 diesel and has had a number of issues over the past year. Install the coolant pump belt. The circle in the picture should be thermostat housing. When the thermostat gets stuck in the closed position, coolant stays in the engine and quickly becomes overheated, resulting in engine overheating.
Therefore, the only way we know of the magnitude of problems is through forums like these. Locate the thermostat housing by tracing the upper from the driver's side of the radiator to its termination at the thermostat housing. I ended up driving home and let my dealer fix it. He could perhaps offer you expedited shipping? Start the engine and let it warm up. The contact slammed on the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. Careless tightening could cause the pump housing to crack. It is designed around Piezo electric fuel injection; a common-rail, high pressure fuel system; and an emissions system that decreases diesel exhaust using a particulate control, a system which reduces soot particles by greater than 90% and allows vehicle emissions to be virtually equal to a gas-powered truck.
