Well, I am currently sitting waiting on a tow truck after speaking with Ford Roadside Assist. I just left the salt lake airport after coming home from a trip. After stopping at a light and accelerating, the truck made a "clunk" sound and I immediately lost power steering. A minute or so later I lost my power breaks and air conditioning. I immedialey pulled over and then got an "Engine Over Temp" alert. I turned the truck off and looked under the hood (pretty sure what I'd see). I threw my serpentine belt. Not sure what caused it...hoping it's just the belt and not a bigger issue. I can't yet tell if the belt just came off or broke, but I can see it in there.

Waiting for the tow truck and my wife right now.... I'll post again the diagnosis when I have it.

First I've seen of this one.

That is pretty tough in a new truck but it happens. Maybe a pully or somthing broke.

 

Looks like I put this in the wrong thread from my blackberry. Can a moderator move to the 6.7 Forum?

 

Well, it's been towed to the dealer. From their quick analysis before they closed for the day, my fan bearing split and the fan fell off, dislodging the serpentine belt. They aren't sure if there's any other damage at this point, until they get to work on it Monday.

Here's some pictures of the tow....had a good discussion with the driver about the fact that he was in a Dodge. Very good guy.

 

A few more... The truck barely fit on his bed.

 

And driving off into the sunset....

 

Well isn't that depressing....

 

If I were you I'd check all the radiator stuff yourself before hand so you know if there are any smashed fins.

 

Very sorry to hear about this, hope the dealer rectifies the situation quickly!

 

Looks like a bad day for brown 6.7s...

 

Yes it was.... Mine was a very odd / unusual thing to happen. Good news, it should be a relatively easy fix and little or no chance of it occurring again.

I am hoping I don't have radiator or other damage though...I'll know for sure on Monday.

 

Moved to 6.7L forum at the request of the OP!

Glad to hear it was a simple problem, but it's a shame that it left you stranded! Like anything else mechanical, things can break. I'm glad to hear it wasn't an engine problem!

 

Bummer but sounds like an easy fix.
I'm beginning to think the copper colored paint is to blame...lol.

 

Did somebody else on here have the exact same thing happen this past week? Fan mounts seem to be another weak spot on this motor....

 

Easy there.....27,000 miles here,..no major issues.

Sorry about you and Rickatic.
