Im beginning to hate my Truck. 2011 F-350 6.7

About 3 weeks ago, I lost power after severe hard shifting. Turbo would be up to 15-20, RPM to 2500 Temps all normal. But couldnt get over 25mph on Freeway. Towards the return home it started shuttering. I got home and it shuttered and quit. Later I started it and it ran fine, but would move much.
Dealer said Transmission detonated and I payed a ton of money and had a reman with a reman torque converter replaced (well the dealer told me that the Torque converter came with the the new trans) and they replaced the flywheel. Plus they said the Knock Valve was gone.

Fast forward to Yesterday. Coming home from wifes family reunion. no hard shifting but going up a hill Near Couer d'Alene Idaho (other side of Washington from home) it starts losing power going up hill again. This time the Cleaning Exhaust filter light kept coming on. In town it was shuddering again. And when I put it in park I tried to rev the engine and it sounded like it was flooding or shuddering. Its hard to describe. So AAA was called to tow it to dealer. After 15min I started motor to see if I could turn it around for the tow truck and it idled fine and move ok. I did not drive it.

So it sits at a Ford dealer in Spokane and Im home in Everett.

WTH is going on. Did the Dealer take me for a ride with a new tranny. Or did they miss something when I took it in.

Im pissed as hell and hate my truck right now.

 

did you attempt to read the codes? I carry a code reader with me all the time.

 

sorry, no code reader. While I was waiting for the tow, I was trying to find the Center Display way to pull the codes, but could not find it.
Only one I found was for older where you hold OD reset, but 2011 Thats done on the center display now.

Bugger.

 

Not sure what to tell you on the issues, but in regards to reading codes from the dash display - I never knew you could do that. I use a ScanGauge. When I had an exhaust temp sensor leave me stranded in the driveway a few years ago I got the ScanGauge and a spare temp sensor. It is worth the purchase. I replaced the EGR cooler core about a month ago and cleared the codes for it, among other things over time.

 

Dealer just called.

EGT sensor was bad.

Now there is the ole 5 hour drive back to get it.

 

 

83K. But they stated it was "Damaged"

 

 

called yesterday and asked them to have the part when I get there. On the way now, wife driving. 10hrs round trip. Yay.

 

I had this happen a few summers ago. Truck broke and spent some time at a local dealer three hours from my home. I thought that I was fortunate to get a loaner car to get me and my family home. Had to make a 6 hour round trip drive the following week. Drove up and back by myself. Just made the best of it but was happy that my family was home safe.

Bruce...

 

Dealer did not fix anything. 240 miles later, 80 miles from home did I it again. Stuck waiting for tow truck now. My dealer told me I should not have paid for it. She is going to help me get refund. Then there is the whole why am I losing power.

 

Sorry to hear of your troubles with your truck. I would most certainly be frustrated with the events as well.

I don't post this to stir anything, however I would not jump to the conclusion of an incompetent dealer just yet. If the symptoms are very similar and what you are experiencing is what happened when the temp sensor went it, as much of a coincidence as it may be, could be another temp sensor. There are several. They each will throw their own codes. They should be as listed below, though there may be some variances. Best to look up your model year etc.

EGT11 monitors before DOC
EGT12 monitors after DOC
EGT13 monitors after SCR
EGT14 monitors after DPF

It appears that 2011-2012 MY chassis-cab versions had 13 and 14 reversed, though. 2013+ are in the same order for pickup and chassis-cab.

1 is past the turbo 4 is before the tailpipe.

Associated codes:

P0544 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit - Bank 1 Sensor 1
P0545 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Low - Bank 1 Sensor 1
P0546 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High - Bank 1 Sensor 1
P2080 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1 Sensor1
P2081 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent Bank 1 Sensor 1
P2084 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1 Sensor2
P2085 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent Bank 1 Sensor 2
P20E2 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1/2 Correlation Bank 1
P20E3 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 1/3 Correlation Bank 1
P20E4 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 2/3 Correlation Bank 1
P242A - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 3
P242B - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Bank 1 Sensor3
P242C - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Bank 1 Sensor 3
P242D - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High Bank 1 Sensor 3
P242E - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Intermittent/Erratic Bank 1Sensor 3
P246E - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 4)
P2470 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 4)
P2471 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High (Bank 1 Sensor 4)
P2478 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Out of Range (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
P2479 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Out of Range (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
P247A - Exhaust Gas Temperature Out of Range (Bank 1 Sensor 3)
P247B - Exhaust Gas Temperature Out of Range (Bank 1 Sensor 4)

 

Wish I had a reader. I know there is a way to get the Dash display to give codes but I have not found it.

See what this dealer says, also see if she really can get a refund for what the other dealer charged me.

 

 

Ok
Im getting power loss up hills. 1st it starts feeling like it pops out of gear then jumps back in. Then suddenly I cant go over about 30mph, I can get to speed on flats for a while but even that gets hard. Then it starts shuddering like its not getting gas. When I stop it starts loping hard .. its hard to describe. Shut it down let it cool and it idles normal. Dont drive it to
see if it goes after that. 1st time it coincided with Transmission detonation. Replaced Transmission, Torque Converter, and fly wheel. 2nd time was 300 miles from home and went to that towns dealer, they said EGT Sensor went bad. 3rd time yesterday and its now a my dealer again.

Temps were all normal, boost was running 8-15psi. RPM normal.

to the point of wanting to point it at a cliff and stick the throttle and pop it in gear.
