Ford has had a problem with these sensors before but it was on the F-150s. This is the first one I've heard of on an 250.

We've got this neat little tool here on FTE. If you scroll all the way to the top of the page there is a recall/tsb button where you can search for items Ford has published for your truck. Here's a link to a recall for the sensor your talking about. https://www.ford-trucks.com/recalls/...y-2000/t-34784

Call the dealer, mention this recall, and see if you can't get this fixed for free. Dealer repairs are always the way to go when there free.

Good Luck.

Me too, but I like to read and I like to learn. I picked most of this up by reading the posts of others and try to pass on what I can. There's a lot of information on this website. I've even asked computer quesitons down in the non-automotive forum and gotten lots of help. Good Luck.
