Bad Turbos
I HAVE A 04 SUPER DUTY 6L. WHICH HAS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS FROM THE FIRST TANK OF FUEL. THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AND MISSING 5 MILES AFTER FILLING UP W/FUEL, THEN THE GUAGES RAPED RIGHT TO THE END AND THE TRUCK QUIT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I GOT SOME BAD FUEL, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM, MANAGED TO GET IT TO A DEALER AND THEY CHANGED A SENSOR AND I WAS ON MY WAY, GOT 200 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS TIME IM IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE @ NIGHT WITH NO SUPPORT SO I UNHOOKED THE BATTERIES FOR 10 MINS AND AWAY I WENT, THE TRUCK WORKED GOOD FOR 2 DAYS, THEN STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. TOOK TRUCK TO THE DEALER AGAIN, ( 3 TIMES NOW) THEY HAD THE TRUCK FOR 2 DAYS, THEY CHANGED A SENSOR AND MODULAR ON THE TURBO,SAID THE TURBO WAS STICKING, WORKING NOT WORKING, THEY CALLED AND SAID THE TRUCK WAS READY,WENT AND PICKED IT UP AND DROVE 4.6 MILES AND SHE QUIT AGAIN,(NOW IM MAD) TAKE IT BACK AND THEN THEY REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER, NOW THE TRUCK IS AS LOUD AS MY 2000 7.3L WHICH HAD 200000 MILES ON IT WITHOUT A PROBLEM TO SPEAK OF, IT WAS A AWSOME TRUCK. NOW THIS TRUCK SMOKES WHEN IT IS STARTED AND BURNS REALLY RICH ( U CAN SMELL THE DIESEL)PLUS IT IS REALLY HARD ON FUEL 10-12 MILES TO THE GALLON. THEN I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THE WHOLE TURBO WAS SHOT SO THEY CHANGED IT OUT ALONG WITH A COUPLE MODULES,SO FAR THE TRUCK HAS BEN RUNNING NOT TO BAD(FOR 4 DAYS NOW) OTHER THAN THE NOISE AND HARD ON FUEL, AND DOESNT SEEM TO HAVE THE POWER IT HAD BEFORE THEY ZAPPED THE COMPUTER UNTIL U GET THE RPM UP. THERE IS ALSO A FEW OTHER LITTLE THINGS THATS WRONG TO BUT THEY DONT BOTHER ME RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I JUST NEED THIS TRUCK TO RUN AND GET ME TO WORK ON TIME,ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP 6 TIMES IN 4 WEEKS, IM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ANYMORE I CAN HARDLY DEPEND ON IT TO GET ME TO AND FROM WORK EVERDAY.SEEMS WHEN IT QUITS OR ACTS UP IF I UNHOOK THE BATTERIES FOR A FEW MINUTES IT WORKS GOOD FOR AWHILE. I SURE HOPE THAT NO ONE HAS HAD THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD BECAUSE IT IS EMBARRASSING TO ME AND TO FORD. THEY TELL ME THAT THE NOISE WILL BE THERE ALL THE TIME BECAUSE OF THE NEW PROGRAM WHICH IS NOT GOOD(THAT WAS THERE SELLING POINT)DONT NOW WHERE TO GO TO FROM HERE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS, AND IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE LET ME NO.
