What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2001 ford f350 super duty. The contact noticed smoke rising from the hood while the vehicle was idling. He opened the hood and noticed flames coming from the wiring harness. The dealer stated that the speed control sensor may have caused the fire. His VIN was not included in recall number 06v286000 for the vehicle speed control because his vehicle has a diesel engine. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 189,000 and current mileage was 193,000.
I have a 2001 ford f-350 with the 7.3 diesel motor. I have replaced the cam sensor in it twice and there are many people on the internet upset about this. When the cam sensor fail the truck shuts down which causes loss of power steering, power brakes, and all control of the truck and there is no way to tell when it is going to fail. For has no recalls on this sensor and has had many problems with it and nothing is being done. If this problem is not fixed then its is going to kill someone if it hasn't already.
