| I recently bought a used 2001 ford f-250 with the 7.3 diesel from the local ford dealer. it had a recent computer reflash, should have told me something. anyway the cps was bad in it. it would shut down, sometimes starting right back, sometimes after a few minutes. i got tired of the run around so i put a new cps in it myself. i have had no more problems, no thanks to ford. *jb | |||

| I shut off my truck and several components stay on, then i turned the key on and off again and they went off a few days later the same thing but the wipers did not work since i am an auto technician i looked into it at a ford dealer and found that ford has had this many times and it has been investigated by the safety board and i am not sure where it went from there all i know is that if i loss my wipers on the highway in rain it would not be safe. i know in canada they made them call them back and fix the leaks that caused the wiper failure/gem module failure to fix it at ford would be 600.00 dollars which requires replacing the gem module and it is recommended to change the fuse panel also and to fix the leak there was a bulletin to silicone the seams which is a temporary repair. *jb | |||

| The cam positioning sensor in the ford power stroke 7.3l diesel has gone out at 60,000 miles. this caused the vehicle to completely shut down. this was not the only truck this has happened to. many people i know had this happen within the first 100,000 miles. ford repaired the cps for $400.00 at my expense. also the o ring in the high pressure oil pump went out at 71,000 miles with no warning, causing me to dump all of the oil out. i discovered it before it caused motor problems. ford fixed this problem for $500.00. both problems a were very common with the 7.3l and need to be addressed by ford. they were not ordinary problems and need some kind of attention from ford. *ak | |||
