What owners wrote
I have an f-350 super duty diesel. The truck was parked in the driveway @ 7:30 pm. Around 12:15 am, my wife heard a loud popping noise and what sounded like a banging type crash. She thought a car had crashed out in front of the house, so she looked out the window and saw the truck with flames coming out from under the hood. We called the fire dept. And sprayed water on our eaves until they arrived.
I was driving and the 2005 f350 shut off and the brakes and steering became hard, which made it difficult to get out of the way; while on the freeway going at 85 MPH. Luckily I was passing a ford dealer and took the truck in. This problem started about 2 months ago and continued off and on.
