 Tl* - at a stop sign the contact was getting ready to accelerate across a main road with this 05 ford f-550 super duty. while accelerating the vehicle completely lost power, stalling in the middle of the road. before vehicle completely stalled, the check engine warning light came on within a second after the engine light came on the vehicle stalled out. the vehicle was towed into dealership and at the dealership they stated that the oil pump pressure dropped below 20 pounds causing the vehicle to shot off automatically. *ak updated 02/22/07. *jb

 We own a 2005 ford f-550 diesel truck. we are having problems with the fuel tank delaminating and causing the fuel flow to stop to the engine. this is a common problem on alot of ford diesel trucks, ford does not want to take responsibility for the tank delamination, causing the truck to stop running. we are having to pay for the repair, even though the truck is still under warranty. they say that we are running bio-diesel through the truck and this is what is causing the liner separation. *tr

 Truck started losing power on the highway. would hardly climb an incline. we exited the highway, truck was running worse, and finally stalled out. it would only restart and run rough for a minute or two after letting it sit for a while, and then stall again. i had to get the truck towed back to my shop. we changed the fuel filters, and the one in the frame rail had a silver flaky substance inside the filter. i had to put the truck on a trailer, and bring it to the dealership. i was told i needed a new fuel tank, a new fuel pump, new fuel filters, and the fuel system needs to be flushed. they said they are aware of the problem, and they called a warranty rep. they refused to help me. i called ford roadside assistance, and they refused to help me. i now have to spend thousands to fix this. the parts salesman at the dealership say that this happens all the time, and sometimes the replacement tanks do the same thing. i know of about a dozen or a dozen and a half ford trucks that have had this exact problem. there is actually a dealership in ct that stocks a bunch of these tanks because this happens so much. *tr

 My ford f550 truck is being repaired for a delaminating fuel tank. ford is trying to say it is from using biofuel,i never used anything but straight diesel. the tank is plastic lined and is coming apart badly and clogging injectors causing the entire fuel system and engine to fail. the dealer said he has seen this before and it is becoming a recurring problem. the truck has 41,777 miles on it. the year is a 2005, it was in for an extreme loss of power while still under warranty,the dealer miss diagnosed the problem, changed the fuel filter and the truck has been running erratic ever since. they said they could not find any problem. now i am paying to have a new tank installed same as the old one, and the problem is only going to happen again and may even lead to an accident or a blown motor. please contact me. *tr

 We are getting reports that ford f550 trucks are losing their dual tires because of broken lug bolts on the rear duals. these are apparently happening on older models that have had eight bolt patterns. i am forwarding this information on behalf of several electric utilities across the country who have brought this information to my attention. *nm
