The emissions tubes have constantly burned out of this truck. They have been replaced numerous times! The dealer stated that these particular parts have been redesigned by ford twice. This defect has caused two minor fires in the firewall. We have been unable to get a full accounting of all work done at all the different dealerships it has been in. I know ford can pull up all warranted work done by VIN however they will not do so.
I have a '96 ford f350 with a 7.3l powerstroke. My truck has been stalling intermittently while driving down the road. And on occasion, had cut out completely and not come right back which leaves me with no power brakes, or steering to stop the vehicle, or get it off the road. I stopped at bankston ford in frisco, tx today to ask if my truck was on the recall list, and was told that it was not. They would not fix the known problem, unless I was willing to pay $380 for the part, and another 4hours of labor.
