    New Ford

    Mine is an 11, bought new in 10. I have a love hate relationship with the truck. It started with an exhaust leak at the exhaust filter that would fill the cab each time it cleaned. Took an outside mechanic to clue into the problem after Ford changed out 2 power steering boxes and pumps, thinking...

    New Ford

    I think you have a pretty nice unit. I have an 11 with 210k on it and I have learned that the 11 & 12's had a few issues that have been corrected by 13. Happy travels.

    Under hood chirping and light squealing

    When having the turbo off to repair the exhaust leak, we noticed a lot of play in the turbo and I ended up having it changed as well. Hopefully she is good for another 200k or so.

    Under hood chirping and light squealing

    Had the truck inspected and it has been diagnosed with an exhaust leak on each side. I saw it myself and it is definitely worse on the drivers side. 11 hrs repair time and $300 parts

    Rear Parking Aid

    My Check Rear Parking Aid message just started to come on each time I put it in reverse. Has anyone experienced this and is it an easy fix? My sensors are clean, although they seem to be getting a little bit of a corrosion look along the edges.

    Under hood chirping and light squealing

    I had the belt and tension pulley replaced and the sounds continues. I'm going to follow up with the suggestion made by the Ford Doctor. It has been about 6k and 2 months since it started and I have to think it isn't the turbo.

    Under hood chirping and light squealing

    Would you think turbo as a possibility at all? I've heard some negative reports on the ceramic bearings in the turbo, but because it is ceramic, I would think it would be an instant failure and not a prolonged sound.

    Under hood chirping and light squealing

    I have 200k on this 2011 6.7 liter Lariat. Recently I've noticed a slight chirp under the hood on the occasional acceleration. also heard it once when running in Tow/Haul, started an incline, it kicked down into a high RPM and it did a fairly lengthy chirp during that change. I first thought of...

    Folding Mirror Issue

    My drivers door mirror has been lazy for a while. When left in the garage for a few days, it has always needed to be manually folded out and then it would work fine if used regularly. We just came back from being away for 2.5 weeks and now it the it won't budge more than 1/4" with power and...

    2014 f250 front end problems

    I bought an 11 f350 new and @ about 40,000 km, i had my first experience of a death wobble. Ford denied the wobble, but did replace some parts. I replaced more parts and suffered with an intermittent wobble until about 130,000 km. I finally took it to a drivetrain / suspension specialist shop...

    Diesel Exhaust Fluid

    That is very interesting. If that is the case, then I wonder why they have a heater. I have already given them the green light to proceed, but should it happen again, I will definetely be considering your research. Do you mind sending me the google link where you located that information? Thanks...

    Diesel Exhaust Fluid

    I would be interested to know where. I did some research today and couldn't locate any suppliers. Even Ford here in Calgary had to order it in. I can't afford to have the truck down so have authorized Ford to repair it, but will be doing some research for a supply source in case it happens again.

    Turbo to Intake Hose Off

    Thanks for the tips. The clamp has a spring built into it. When I re-installed the hose on the road, I tightened it as tight as it would go. Does anyone know if that is ok or if it shouldn't be that tight?

    Turbo to Intake Hose Off

    I did notice that the filter looked ready to change, but didn't think it would affect the turbo boost pressure. I will give that a try. I would have gone to FORD right away, but have to be honest and say that the service they have provided on almost all other issues has been very weak to say...

    Turbo to Intake Hose Off

    While accelerating from stop pulling my 5th wheel, I heard a sound like a tire blowing only to find the hose between the Turbo and Intake had come off at the intake end. Everything seemed fine and I was able to put it back on right on the road and really tightened the clamp. I would like to...

    Radiator Leak

    I main radiator just starting leaking @ 96,000 km. Apparently this has been a Ford Super Duty problem since 2008 and Ford doesn't own up to it. The rad shop indicates the system runs with too much pressure and eventually blows the rad. Has anyone else had this problem with a 2011 or newer and...

    Question Front end shake

    Ive been fighting this problem on my 2011, 6.7L SD. After a lot of talking Ford replaced my track bar ball joint, drag link ball joint, dampner shock @ 55,000 km, but it wasnt great and started even worse @ 130,000km. Took it to a driveline specialist and had to replace the ball joints again as...

    Check Coolant Additive Message

    Thanks for your input. I will see if I can locate a supplier here in Canada. Sometimes I envy all of the resources you folks have in the US.

    Death Wobble

    I'm @ 130,000 km and the Death Wobble is back as bad or worse than ever. It is scarey to drive and must be terribly hard on the truck. I've located a website http://www.superdutywobble.com/ that apparently has a kit that they claims fixes the problem, however I am initially going to pursue Ford...

    DEF Pump

    Unfortunately, that warranty is over. Hoard to understand why a NOX sensor is still covered when a DEF pump isn't. Both are related to the same purpose.
