This is from Pickuptrucks.com and is reguarding the 6.4 diesel.



Blue Oval News is reporting on a new technical service bulletin (TSB) that Ford Motor Company has issued for 2008 Ford Super Duty pickups with diesel engines.

According to the TSB, certain F-250, F-350, F-450 or F-550 models with 6.4-liter Power Stroke motors manufactured between April 3 to May 21, 2007 may have faulty fuel injectors in cylinders 1, 5 and 7 that need to be replaced with new units.

According to Ford spokesperson Wes Sherwood, the injectors were accidentally damaged during testing at the supplier's facilities, caused by human error setting up test equipment. The damaged injectors create a misfire condition that will cause the vehicle to run rough or hesitate, especially during acceleration.

About 3,000 engines have been impacted by the issue. The majority of those engines have either been corrected at the factory or are being corrected in dealer inventory. Approximately 250 engines are in customer hands and Ford has notified those owners of the TSB.

Mr. Sherwood says the fix requires a few hours to correct and that there is an ample supply of properly working injectors available to replace faulty units.

 

How would 1 know if they have a vehicle with these sub-par injectors?
Isn't this how it all started with the 6.0 ?

 

6.0 started with trucks coming off the trailer, being parked then needing a new motor right there

 

Wrong!!!!!!!! The turbos may have gotten stuck by sitting on the lots but the engine was fine. They called this scenario (lot rot)....

They know the serial #'s of the effected trucks and they should be able to tell by that...

 

It sounds like Ford has a good system for tracking parts. Only affecting 250 customers, is the injectors installed by Ford? I would have thought Navistar put the injectors in.

 

did they not have an oiling problem right off the bat, ended up with a few siezed motors from that?

 

Not that I am aware of. Most all of the problems relating to the early 6.0 where from programming and the sticky turbo issues. Most turbo issues where from lack of use like mine. I let it sit for several weeks between uses and the original turbos did not like that. The later and the replacement turbos have relief cuts in them to prevent them from sticking: problem solved!!!!!!!!!!!

 

yeah i love my 6.0, have had some minor things but it was altenator, then an engine surge from a chaffed harness or something, they also replaced 4 injectors at that time but i couldn't even tell i had injector issues

 

It had to do with the heavy oil from the factory that is put into all the engines. When they are shipped to a cold climate (Canada) the oil needs to be changed. There was one truck in Winnipeg that I know of that they started on the dealer lot and blew the engine. I believe there was a TSB put out about having to plug them in at a certain temp to prevent engine damage due to the incident.
