 2004 f-250 king ranch fx4 with 6.0l diesel engine, all stock condition as ordered and received on february 11, 2004. dealer made programming change to the pcm on july 12, 2004, but vehicle has not run correctly since problematic symptoms began on 7/10/04. symptoms include: (1) lack of power and studdering from 600 rpm to 1,200 rpm followed by a sudden and unprovoked increase in power. (2) rhythm tic increases and decreases (surging) of approximately 2,000 rpm in the turbocharger at cruise (even while on cruise control). (3) check engine light remains on. the continuous surging of the turbocharger will result in a premature failure of the turbine followed by fatigue and eventual failure of the transmission.*ak
