 2004 ford f250 super duty king ranch. after reflash to repair an idle problem truck developed three very dangerous conditions. 1. cruise stalled - going down hill at approx 55-58 the truck will stall without warning. no power steering or brakes. reproducable on demand. 2. downshift lockup - truck will lockup rear tires in excess of 30 feet if tow/haul mode is used. on first occasion it almost caused a major accident on highway, came within inches of a head on with a large dump truck while towing a boat. reproducable on demand. 3. coast stall. intermittently stalls usually at off ramps after cruise has been released. extremly dangerous to take offramps in such a large vehilce with no power.*ak
