Just got back from our 2nd pull of our #7200 camper, 08 job 1 F250 50100 mi ,first pull to north Wi . 500 mi round trip NO problems . This trip 800 mi round trip, no problems on the way up 385 mi ,regens about every 235 mi. Pulled great no issues, got ready to hook up trailer to head back,normal start up, let it idle for about 1 min and got the wrench light, in limp mode sitting still,WTF!!!. let it idle about 2 min more then shut it off, and let it set about 10 min, started it back up, no wrench light, nervous as hell I hooked up and hauled back 400mi no issues ran good pulled hard up hills, mileage sucked but that's normal, heading for the dealer tomorrow to have them plug it in,expect to hear ,NOTHINGS WRONG, Weather at start up 51deg, damp, heavy dew from rain,any ideas from you guys as to why this happened? Don't expect much help from my dealer based on past experience. They told me replacing the radiator is routine maintenance like changing the oil.


Just heard back from dealer fly by wire accelerator pedal assembly needs to be replaced, covered under warranty,anyone else had this problem?

 

Should still have a code in memory. Be sure you tell them the wrench light was on.
Just don't take the cables off the batteries.

 

I'm in Rockford,(Northern Illinois) - and guessing from your trip mileage to Northern WI - you're somewhere nearby. I've got an 08 as well, and finding a dealer I have confidence in has been a challenge - Last couple of dealer visits have been to Janesville WI - and my confidence is building. Good luck. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

 

I haven't verified it as I am on the road but there is talk that Ford has an update to the update. It's said that the update is to address the same incident you had. Look through this forum about a week ago and you should find the thread.
