truck will not increase speed

[rigdog43]

Hey Ya'll
I have a problem that I just have to ask about .
I have a 04, 6.0 runs great for the most part , but sometimes when you step down hard on the go button it will down shift but will not increase in speed .If you pull over and cut it off and restart, it runs and passes with no problems
This truck has 60k no mods and this has happened about 6 different times . anyone have any id thanks

Will it run at highway speeds? I had for the most part the same problem. Dealer replaced the throttle plate sensor and the EBP. Keith

if I am running 50 it stays at 50 if i run 70 it stays 70
if you back off and slow down it stays at the speed yu slowed down to

Take it in. You have electronic problems with a sensor or two and the ECM (Engine Control Module). They should be able to track it down. I personally have never heard of this one.

thanks daveben
i will try the dealer again . I told them about it when they did the 04 recall stuff . they looked at me like i was nuts . quote "we can't find the problem if it ain't doing it when you bring it in" I don' have much faith in them now , thats why i wanted to know if others are having this problem
thanks for the help

Just make sure that when you get your papers that it is listed as a problem everytime. This way even if the warranty runs out you have proof that it was doing it prior -

Strange problem indeed - good luck with it all.

I know what you are going thru. But you must keep after them or else they won't ever learn. It is Ford's duty to their customers to get the fixes and get them right. Keep the faith baby...
