 1995 ford f250 7.3l turbo diesel : cam position sensor failed after numerous, worsening experiences with erratic engine performance. sensor replaced by dealer on 12/07/2006 with truck barely able to continue running. this corrected the problem at the time, but i am now occasionally experiencing the same symptoms again. i have subsequently discovered that this is a chronic problem with this navistar engine. many ford vehicles have been recalled as a result, but mine has not, despite numerous vehicles of my model year (1995) experiencing this problem. *tr

 The vehicle has had transmission/and or electrical problems since it was purchased. every few weeks the engine computer picks up a troubled code. the code is tcc/or torque converter clutch failure.the vehicle then goes into safe mode,and runs on predetermined values set by the engine computer.the transmission shifts extremely hard during this condition.(automatic e40d). the dealer has been notified, and has failed to correct the problem. i have taken the vehicle to 2 transmission shops, and they cant find anything wrong with the transmission. since this has been an ongoing problem, my next course of action is to seek relief under the used vehicle lemon law. *ak

 Repeated ford f250 exhaust manifold leaks. problem persist on 1990 & newer ford f250 pickup trucks. health problems to persons is a definite concern. emission environmental safety is a big concern. ford motor company needs to be contacted and research this problem for possible health hazards and recalls. throughout the various emission servicing companies, please note that this is commonly known problem with the 1990s & newer f250 fords. personnally, i have replaced one manifold on my 1995 f250 ford in sept of 97. and needing to replace a second manifold in december of 98. in researching this, i have found that it is not only a costly problem but also could be an environmental concern as some folks are fixing these manifolds problems by putting on headers instead.

 The y pipe has failed twice, allowing exhaust to enter the engine compartment. first took it to an out of town dealer who said he did not have parts to fix but warned me to keep fresh air coming into the cab.. the local dealer replaced once and the second time said it was no longer covered and besides did not know how to fix the problem. suggested i take it to a private muffler shop who told me that ford was well aware of the problem, that it was dangerous because it would leak carbon monoxite into the cab and suggested i take it back to the dealer and push for a replacement. dealer gave me a form to fill out but have never heard back. i took vehicle to another dealer, and they told me a similar story and said if it was a california vehicle ford would stand by it, but because it was not, i would have to take it to a muffler shop and have a custom one built. they also warned me to be careful to keep air coming in thru the heater/ac so i would not get carbon monoxide poisoning and/or fall asleep.
