| 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. | |||
