| I brought this 2008 ford f-350sd to the dealer today because of anti-freeze leaking from bottom of radiator on the drivers side. the truck has about 16000 miles on it. dealer says the radiator must be replaced and no warranty so i am responsible for repairs. i called ford and asked for help and was turned down. the ford dealer contacted ford and asked for help and was turned down. i have read of numerous radiator failures on this years f350 so evidently there is a problem with the design of their cooling system and ford should reimburse for these failures. no radiator should fail in 16000 miles. | |||

| I bought a 2008 super duty with the 6.4 l diesel engine in it. i noticed that the radiator was leaking on the bottom driver side. i decided to do some research on the internet to see if it were a common problem , to my suprise it was. everyone that has a super duty truck with the 6.4 l complaint about the same problem , radiator leaking on the bottom driver side. some of the owners recorded that it was their 3 rd radiator in their truck. i did some research on carfax and noticed that atleast 7 trucks out of 20 that were for sale in the memphis area had their radiators replaced and some trucks more than 3 times. i went to the dealer and they look at my radiator and told me that they would replace it under warranty. they also looked and made sure that my truck had the venturi kit installed on it, that ford had a recall on the cooling system back in 08 , it was installed. after they removed my radiator the service man told me that if my thermostats were not at fault that i had to pay for the radiator. my thermostats he said were fine so i was responsible to pay for a new radiator. i strongly believe ford should be hold accountable for these cooling systems that is failling . to me they are only patching a problem and hope it will last till the warranty is over and then it is the owners problem . to many owners out there has the same problem for me to except responsibility for what is cleary a bad defect on the cooling system. my truck has only 64 000 miles on it, and i dont even tow anything | |||

| While driving my 2008 f350 superduty diesel powered truck at 45mph for approx 4 miles, received message exhaust drive complete immediately followed by stop safely now and complete powerdown of engine. the truck decelerated so fast that despite my flooring the throttle, the car behind me almost collided. the truck lost so much power that i could not safely pull off road and was in a rural area between two blind curves. the whole incident happened in less than 30 seconds and left truck completely vulnerable to whatever traffic conditions were at the time of incident. after getting over to side of road, truck stalled on slight rise and did not have the power to move, however when i shut truck down, my 5ft8in 200lb body was able to push the 8000 lb vehicle over the hump. engine would not crank over after incident and was not allowed to restart until after the unit either cooled down or timed out (didn't try for 30-45 min later). by time tow truck arrived, unit would run but less than full power and check engine light was on. truck was in shop serviced for faulty egr valve and had latest ford recall for reprogramming completed less than 100 miles prior to incident. | |||

| 08 f350 with 70,000miles on it. we tow a trailer daily with this vehicle. approximately 10 times per day it states cleaning the exhaust filter. on sept. 29, 2010, it said cleaning exhaust filter and stop safely now and shut off immediately. while i was in the middle of road. luckily a friend was driving by and towed me out of the lane of traffic. prior to this our vehicle had four radiators put into vehicle because plastic parts kept breaking. the exhaust sensor was replaced prior to this incident. the code for this was the exhaust sensor. if i was on four lane highway when the vehicle shut down i'd be dead. i didn't have any time to pull off road. something must be done about this. ford is not standing behind this. truck is still at dealer. i've been without vehicle since sept. 29, 2010. they refuse to put truck back together. they stated that this would be warranty but ford won't warranty and i won't pay what they are asking for something that is a frequent occurance. | |||

| Regardless of speed, excessive white smoke blowing out of exhaust completely obstructing own rear sight as well as blinding following vehicles. it has happened 4 times, vehicle currently at 36, 000 km. personal belief is that this has led to engine needing to be replaced which ford will not warranty. nothing has been done as ford reports they cannot find the problem. *tr | |||
