| Ford f350 with 6.4l diesel had check engine light (cel) illuminate while driving. engine immediately slowed to idle (800rpm) and would not respond to throttle inputs. was not able to clear roadway and blocked traffic on busy urban road. dealer was not able to find anything wrong, yet performed calibration update on pcm. i was informed this needs to be done as vehicle ages and sensors wear. reviewed owners manual and did not located maintenance interval for calibration updates to pcm. i am certain this is an inherent pcm software code error leading to complete loss of engine operation. a dangerous situation on congested roadways. *tr | |||
