ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
05/20/201156997
 I had a hazardous mechanical failure with my 2005 f250 super duty diesel 5/20/11. i and my wife were traveling and pulling our 32 foot 5th wheel. we were 6 miles east of panaca, nevada when the engine stopped. it lost all power. luckily the road was straight, with a slight up grade, with a large turnout just ahead on the left, with no traffic. i was gripped by how fortunate we were the give the 500 plus miles we had traveled that day and the many mountain passes we had gone over and down and the countless curves and roads with no shoulders where if the mechanical failure had happened on one of these segments our situation could easily have been perilous with a fatality a real possibility. the truck was towed to parkway autoplex in cedar city, utah. i arrived about midnight. my wife was 80 miles away with no means of communication, along the side of the road spending the night in the 5th wheel. i slept in the truck. around 8 am i approached the service area. i noticed someone inside. the individual was christopher haycock a senior master technician. as i explained my situation in more detail and that my wife was stranded 80 miles away on a rural nevada highway and we had no way to communicate, chris gradually became willing to try to determine the nature of the mechanical failure. when he performed his computer analysis, it supported his suspicion that it was probably a failed high pressure oil coupler. while chris was performing the repair he observed the he had done this several times. he has been expecting to see a recall for this this problem since the two part oil coupler has had so many problems and the replacement part is now a one piece part. ford motor company should acknowledge this design defect and reimburse me for the cost of this repair.
