My 04 F-350 6.0 has been great until I hit 70,000 mi. All the sudden I have been in the shop more than on the road. I am about to go back in for the 3rd time to have my EGR sensor and valve replaced in the past 1,000 mi. The turbo also went out in the past month! Now especially when I am towing everyone behind me turns on their lights to see through the smoke!! That, along with the loss of power is getting old fast! Ford cant seem to find out what the problem is, and just want to sell me another truck. (I guess so they can sell this one to someone else that won't complain about all the smoke!?!)
Built ford tough?? I'm not so sure!

My Ford F 350 Super duty Crew Cab Dually 6.0 Powerstroke has been in the Shop for a total of 24 days at different intervals, starting at 150 miles for several problems that I'll list later. The problem that I'm having now with the engine jerking/ stalling started at about 20,000 miles and has not been fixed as of 3/20/06 with 31,600 plus miles. For accuracy in describing the current problem, it would be similar to a gas engine that has faulty plug wires and is shorting out and missing. You will often times smell fuel in the cabin at startup and find no leak. When the truck jerks, a cloud of black smoke is seen coming from the exhaust. The mechanic has had the laptop record the problem with no solution other than seeing that it is missing on all cylinders. He's had the flight recorder hooked up twice, once with the wrong information encoded and they are still uncertain. The symptom is much more noticeable if I have a trailer and under a load but my fuel mileage has dropped an average of 6.5 MPG loaded or unloaded. The problem that is causing the jerking/stalling (that is a momentary stall for clarification) has caused me to smell fuel in the cab as well as a considerable amount of fuel. I've purchased four new vehicles in seven years and have had to take two of them in for warranty work once. This has been a major pain in the hinny to say the least. The dealer (the second I've tried) seems to be doing his best but Ford seems to want me and my truck to disappear. I've got other things to do and had I known about the lemon laws in my state (Va) and the time factor for filing, I'd have filed a long time ago! The fumes that come from this problem can be intoxicating at times.

Truck jerks under acceleration and under a load, smokes out the rear right after it jerks. It sounds like the engine is cutting out momentarily, we'll see if the problem is the EGR valve as the dealer is claiming. Also the stator that controls the accelerator pedal periodically does not work, causing the truck to continue to idle when you press down on the accelerator pedal. They are supposed to be fixing that too.
