Super Duty problems
I have been a long time reader (first time poster) of these forums and am thankful for all the valuable information. I purchased a 2004 -250 Super Duty Crew Cab December of last year. I too am frustrated by the number of things that have gone wrong with the truck. Here are some of my issues.
1. Egr valve changed at 1200kms.
2. Cracked exhaust pipe. Ate smoke in the cab for a month before they could get the parts to fix the problem.
3. Radio reception. Thanks to this site I told the tech to look at the mirrors. Changed the mirrors radio reception perfect.
4. Power steering line blew. Replaced, yet every morning there is a quarter size puddle underneath the truck. Keep tightening all the clamps to no avail.
5. Rear seal went at 20000kms.
6. Coolant leak. Coolant hose leaking. It was replaced, yet every morning there is a saucer sized puddle underneath the truck. Took it back, tech tightened the clamps and still coolant leak. Truck is going back this week to identify the leaks.
7. Turbo flapping. I am going to assume that is what it is. If you step on the gas fairly heavy while driving or towing, then let off, the truck will make this annoying flapping sound. Tech says there is no fix, but the truck did not make the sound until after the Egr valve was changed.
For the most part, I am happy with my truck, but I am getting tired of all the little things that keep popping up. There I have vented. Once again a great site.
