What owners wrote
The consumer owned a new 2004 ford, f250 with a 6.0 liter diesel engine. On march 7, 2004 while driving at 65 MPH and without any warning, the vehicle lost pressure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the service technician determined that one of the fuel injectors malfunctioned. Two days later while driving on the highway another fuel injector failed, which caused water to leak onto one of the pistons, therefore the engine was burning water. The dealer indicated that they were aware of the problem.
My vehicle has being stalling while driving at 1st start up in the morning for over 3 weeks. The problem is now getting daily. I understand there is a recall 05s34 that has this problem with the ford diesels. My vehicle in currently broken down about 60 miles from my home. The auto repair shop thinks its a hiring harness to the ficm.
