engine has no power
I have a 2003 F 350 with the 6.0.I had no problems for the first 4000 miles or so and then last week it began to loose power.Ford had the truck for three days and installed some sensor on the turbo and reflashed the ECU.My problem is the truck use to put me in the seat when i got on it.Now it just feels like there is no power all the way up to 2800 rpm or so.The dealer said that is a normal condition and can do nothing.This is not the truck that I purchased......I have seen some of you have spoke about buybacks...How did you start the process?

Have your service techs check this...
SSM 17288
2003-2004 SUPER DUTY F-SERIES/EXCURSION 6.0L - LOW POWER - CAC TUBE BLOW OFF
SOME 2003-2004 SUPER DUTY F-SERIES AND EXCURSION 6.0L VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A LACK OF POWER AND/OR LOW BOOST PRESSURE CONDITION. THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE HOT SIDE CHARGE AIR COOLER (CAC) TUBE BLOWING OFF. TO SERVICE, REPLACE THE CAC TUBE/HOSE (SINGLE GENERATOR 4C3Z-6C646-BA / DUAL GENERATOR 4C3Z-6C646-CA). CLEAN THE HOSE MATING SURFACES TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE FREE FROM OIL, THEN POSITION THE RUBBER CONNECTORS ALL THE WAY ONTO THE TURBOCHARGER AND CHARGE AIR COOLER FITTINGS BEFORE TIGHTENING THE CLAMPS TO 12 NM (9 LB-FT). AFTER REPAIR, TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND CHECK BOOST PRESSURE BY MONITORING 'MGP' ON WDS. NORMAL OPERATING BOOST PRESSURES SHOULD BE BETWEEN 22-25 PSI. IF THE VEHICLE HAS AN OVER-BOOST CONDITION IT WILL CAUSE THE TUBE TO BLOW OFF. PERFORM NORMAL DIAGNOSTICS TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF ANY OVER-BOOST
