Problems
I have had the same porblems with my truck since new. It now has 49000km on it. I has been in and out of the dealership for the past 6 months. The latest flash did help with the ruff start up. Here is the main problem: Highway driving between 80 and 120 kph when I start up a hill (small or large) the truck hesitates. It will keep doing it every 2-3 seconds untill is reaches the top of the hill or kicks down to the next gear. Every time it hesitates a puff of black smoke comes out of the tail pipe, and a knock comes from the engine. 4 different dealers have taken a try at fixing it, about 7-8 weeks in the shop since new (the fleet guy at Ford Canada directed me to each dealer). Today they said they have fixed the problem.... Needs 1 or 2 new injector(s). I am guesing the problem is not fixed because every other time the truck was in they said the same thing "It's fixed"... NOT. So anyone think bad injectors could cause this problem, and why did they not find this before??vin# 1FTSW31P53EC25669
