DONE😡😡😡😡
2015 F-250 SC King Ranch 4X4 6.7
Less than 2 years old with 41,000 mi..
Took to shop after quit running. CEL & exhaust filter overloaded messages.
Dealer calls says fuel system full of rust. $10,000 to replace. They will clean exhaust filter. I don't know if it's just me but I don't think I should have to pay $10,000 in maintenance on a $70,000 truck less than 2 years old. Why didn't Ford design a "filter" system to "filter" trash out or blind off protecting a $10,000 fuel system?? I purchased a new Ford truck every 2 years since 1996 with a couple years in that time only going 1 year. I also purchase my wife a new Ford every 21/2 - 3 years since 1991. Never again!

Yes I filed a claim. My point is shouldn't be happening @ all. If you get contaminated fuel it should be caught be the filters before allowing it to destroy the entire fuel system. How many insurance claims before your cancelled?

I think that may be the problem then (Lucas).Used the oil additive for gas engines but I wouldn't put anything they make in a diesel. Especially the new diesel fuel additives they have out.
I would use something that has been proven diesel trucks (Power Service, Stanadyne,).

The company I work for has millions of $ worth of heavy equipment. They run Lucas in everything including their diesel UTV's. I do not run the "new" additive. The problem is quite easy to see. When you have a filter system designed to allow rust or any solids to pass through it therefore contaminating the entire system you have a poor designed system. We run John Deere engines off carbon steel fuel tanks. They are fueled from fuel suppliers, fuel tanks from back of pickups & fuel cans. The will & do get trash in them. We change the 2 fuel filter, prime system, circulate n filter tank then put them back to work. Nothing complicated. Total charges $250. Not $10K.

I do have a problem with supplier. They initiated the situation. Doesn't change fact about Fords poorly engineered filter system. I never said a word about any water??? I work in the filtration industry. If my results duplicated Fords I wouldn't have any customers.
