| 2006 ford f350 6.0l diesel pickup coolant heater return line not properly attached to firewall leading to coolant leakage and/or exhaust gas leakage. the cab heater coolant return line was supposed to be bolted in two places to the firewall to properly hold the coolant line in place. on my truck the two nuts that attach the line to the firewall were never installed at the factory - as evidenced by the factory paint never been scratched on the studs on the firewall. without proper attaching of the line to the firewall the line then rests on top of the turbo exhaust pipe eventually wearing through one or both of the coolant line and exhaust pipe. my coolant line ruptured at 30,000 miles. *tr | |||

| I had a 05 ford super duty 6.0 liter diesel that had 3 new turbo's put on due to skoring. ford replaced all 3. when turbo's go out you loose power. i have a 06 super duty that has 26828 miles. the warranty just went out 6/16/11. ford had to put on another turbo because it was skored. ford did pay $750 and i had to pay $1142. i was going down highway and lost power and had to limp home pulling a 5th wheel camper. i have read where ford has had a lot of problems with the 6.0 liter diesel engine. i am upset that ford that ford did not cover this problem fully because of all problems they have had with the engine. the property damage below was just to the turbo itself. i am wondering if you as an agency have had other complaints like this and to see if their are any recalls or are going to be any recalls on this problem. the engine only had 26828 miles on it and i do not drive it every day because i have a department vehicle. to drive to work because i am on call 24/7. i voiced my concern to ford and now i am voicing my concern to this agency, | |||

| On 2006 ford f350 vehicle with 6.0 diesel , the egr coolers have defect that cause them to leak. after reading into this it is a common issue. i took the truck to ford and they stated it is a very common problem and that i should look into an aftermarket cooler since the oem unit fails quite often to the frequency of 2 to 3 within 100,000 miles. this repair is approx. 1000 to 2000 depending on if the head gaskets have been subsequently damaged as well. in my case i had to replace the oil cooler along with egr cooler an egr valve and head gasket. my total bill was $2095.63 ford stated it is a very common problem and has tsb,s on this but has no plans for a voluntary recall. they did state that they will only compensate if instructed to due to a recall. these issues if researched online are more common then people needing any other parts on this vehicle. when these coolers fail the egr get wet and does not function. this can happen at highway speeds with can make you loose power thus loosing hydroboost for braking and steering. *tr | |||

| On 2006 ford f350 vehicle with 6.0 diesel , the egr coolers have defect that cause them to leak. after reading into this it is a common issue. i took the truck to ford and they stated it is a very common problem and that i should look into an aftermarket cooler since the oem unit fails quite often to the frequency of 2 to 3 within 100,000 miles. this repair is approx. 1000 to 2000 depending on if the head gaskets have been subsequently damaged as well. in my case i had to replace the oil cooler along with egr cooler an egr valve and head gasket. my total bill was $2095.63 ford stated it is a very common problem and has tsb,s on this but has no plans for a voluntary recall. they did state that they will only compensate if instructed to due to a recall. these issues if researched online are more common then people needing any other parts on this vehicle. when these coolers fail the egr get wet and does not function. this can happen at highway speeds with can make you loose power thus loosing hydroboost for braking and steering. *tr | |||
