Personally I like the emissions equipment on vehicles now a days. Diesel exhaust is much more tolerable now then even 10 years ago.

 

Hopefully this is something simple to fix.
Wait until you have it fixed before you let the rvnet folks know...haha.

 

Wow ..... Ther must be a bug going around. This is like the 4th one in the past couple of weeks. I am wondering if Ford is using time bombed trial software

Good luck ricatic .... Keep us posted.

Mine is still waiting for the reductant pump .... I finally put some black tape over the CEL. At least it's not staring me in the face anymore. Feels more like 180/300 instead of 400/800.

 

While I was waiting in the restaurant where I coasted to a stop, a family came in and sat down. They were waiting for their daghter and her husband. I talked to the father for a bit until the arrived. The SIL arrived and commented on the new Ford broke down in the lot. When I said it was mine he ripped into the new truck for having a Mexican motor...all about the Mexican motor...they are having nothing but trouble with the Mexican motor...He then said he worked for Ford and they should have never went with that POS Mexican motor.

Needless to say, I paid for my coffee and went outside to wait for the tow truck. No sense trying to discuss anything with someone with an attitude. My guess is he is a union guy through and through. Sfter the truck left on the hook I went back inside and sat at the other end of the restaurant until my ride home arrived...

Interesting day...

Regards

 

My second 11 died in my driveway with 415 miles on the ticker. A sensor on the dpf. Had to tow it in. Got it back and removed all the emissions. 6500 miles now and no trouble.......

 

That was in July.

 

As I stated in a parallel post, this kind of stuff happens to my truck every week. And since the dealer will not even look at my truck under warranty, I had to find another solution.
Just get yourself a codereader that can clear codes. Usually, once the codes are cleared, the truck will start right up again with no other repairs. Worth the $50 just in case of an emergency (it's like a tow truck in your glovebox). I would recommend this to anyone that drives one of these 2011+ models.
Ultimately you should find out what caused the problem in the first place (ignoring it could compund the original issue), but at least it will be on your terms and not at a possibly inconvenient time or place.
Apparently people using tuners are much less susceptible to these emissions-sensor related glitches, so for them the code reader/clearer is not needed (since it is usually already built into the tuner).
Naturally, not having the sensor present or monitored helps maintain its long term reliability (sarcasm).

 

corntruckdriver guess you and i well remember pulling the stop **** on the old b61 macks and dd 8v71's, it always worked, my old petercar had a cat 1693ta that was simply turn off the key to shut off the stop solinode

 

I wonder if there is a way to bypass this no start issue other than a code reader to clear it.

If it is a false sensor reading and you know it is. There is a way to do with the 6.4. I wonder if that would apply here.

Maybe one the tech's will chime in on that question.

 

my earliest recalection is a Massey Furguson 65

 

Rick, very sorry to hear. Looks like you and I were in a very similar situation about the same time yesterday. Check mine.... https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-stranded.html

I was using my blackberry and accidentally selected the 6.4 section...

I will say that Ford Roadside Assistance was excellent. The customer service was great and the truck was there in less than 30 minutes and gone in under an hour.

My problem was an anomaly...fan bearing broke and the fan fell off, hitting the serpentine belt and knocking it off. Not sure at this point if there's anymore damage (like the fan hitting the radiator).

Hopefully yours is a quick and easy, non-recurring repair. Good luck.

 

Well pulling the battery cables and letting it reset itself comes to mind. I know it's tougher for the tech when you clear the codes, but if you are stranded it is much more inconvenient for you than it will be for them.

If you have fond memories of 8V71s then your memory may be fading! LOL They may have had a manual fuel shutoff, but it didn't do you much good when they ran away and self destructed not to mention that they made about as much power as a Chevette. B61 Macks were fun to drive if you were a midget. I don't know how the 6'5" guys ever did it. Anyway I've seen my share of them run backwards and do stupid stuff as well.

My point is, nothing is perfect. Every brand has electrical gremlins of some sort. With every aspect of a vehicle relying on electrical sensors, solenoids and such electrical equipment has become a large portion of the cost of building a vehicle. Guess where costs are being cut? The reliability of Japanese electrical components has always amazed me. I guess just like everything else automotive we will catch up eventually.

 

Bummer.....

 

Wow....

I go off on a business trip for the last few days and everyone breaks their trucks?

Sorry to hear about the troubles, Rick! Any idea what it could be? Seems like you will always have folks that don't want to know the truth and believe their own version of it. Really stinks that you had to listen to that just after your truck broke down though.

Make sure to let us know how it goes!

 

Rick, sorry for the trouble. Keep us posted.
