Re: Ford Recalls 1.1 Million SUVs, Trucks
I got three in the recall.
The F250 was purchased at 40K miles and at 185K miles it's first problem occured, a short in the wires near the outside of the valve cover. The diesel shop in thier trouble shooting process swapped out the CPS but wasn't bad. At 225K miles the next problem occured and the same diesel shop replaced the computer. At 250.9K miles it's had less than a grand into the electronics and motor. The 00 Excursion was purchased at 104K miles and had a CPS failure at 114K and 124K miles. The first one was $100 the second was free under IH warranty, current mileage 182.7K miles. The 99 F350 was bought with 120K and now has 132K miles and nothing has been touched on it since owning. More than likely I'll bring the three in for new CPS's but they don' t need them. This was a problem Ford had with a third party vendor of the part for many years. It's about time they did something to fix the problem. Recently a new and improved CPS has been sold at a whopping $20-25. I'd take any three Ford 7.3's anywere. They've all towed over 15K lbs with the F250 and F350 having a lot of 20K+ lb tows under their belts. |

Re: Ford Recalls 1.1 Million SUVs, Trucks
What about GM's fuel pump issues and the Cummins lift and injector pump issues? Forget about those???
All trucks will break from time to time but it's good to see a recall. |
