I bought a Ford 1 ton diesel back in 86, every 3 months had to sand the drive shat of apply grease so the throw out bearing so it would slide, I complained, no response from FORD, after 2 years the floor busted that the clutch cylinder was bolted to, and they had a kit to fix the issue. No SH**. This was a warm weather truck only. Run # 1 diesel and additive at 25 degrees and above 40 MPH it would gell every time, carried extra filters and small can of diesel with me at all times, I hate diesels, had 2 of them, same results. Pieces of sh** . I think every one should own a least 1 diesel.
Sorry to hear that.....not typical for Ford for sure. Was a GM / Chevy guy for years but couldn't get them to last.
I'm on my 4th F250 diesel 4x4. All of them have gone over 250,000 with no major mechanical issues and still ran like a champ when we got rid of them.
Current truck 2003 6.0 with 290,000 and runs as good as the first day. Normal maintenance and rebuilds the starter, replaced the radiator and the HPOP. Other than that brakes, shocks, power steering hoses and serpentine belt.
I'm amazed still has the original starter, u joints, transmission, axels, etc. and still doesn't leak a drop of anything anywhere.
Wife drives a 2012 F150 3.5 Ecoboost King Ranch with 80,000 no issues and that thing runs like a stripped ass ape.
I'm thinking about a new F150 diesel when they finally get it released.
