New 250 picked up 01/08 drove home from dealer about 20 miles. 01/09 started out this morning after about 15 minutes going down the interstate engine lost power and stalled out when I pulled off the road. I waited a minute and started and the engine started up fine. I took off went about 4 miles and it did same thing. Since it was Sunday and I was a few minutes from my destination I started her back up and continued on. I stopped about a hour and made a couple of more stops and it seemed to be ok. I met my brother and we switched trucks and it lost power but did not stall out on him. I also have a bad problem with fumes coming into the cab with the climate control on I got a severe headache and feel about half sick. I knew Ford had a lot of problems and claims with this engine when it was new but thought they had the problems worked out. Has anyone else had problems like these? What was wrong and was the dealer able to take care of problems quickly? I also noticed the mpg on the computer was showing 9 with no load or tow that scares me. I know it needs to break in but that seems very low. I will take it to the dealer Monday if it will make it.
