Oil pan on all ford trucks rust out at 125;000- 150000 mi. Causing all oil to be dumped on highway then the engine shuts down then there is no control of vehicle this is a problem ford is aware of and will not do anything to fix this is a 2000.00 repair job by ford.
Without any kind of warning my camshaft position sensor on my 2000 ford f-350 w/7.3 diesel failed, leaving me stranded in rush hour traffic! After having it towed home it took me three days to figure out the problem, and then cost me $162.36 for a new sensor! I will keep the old part in case you want it.
