2011 FORD F-350 Complaints

SENSOR DID NOT FIX THE STALLING PROBLEM WHICH WAS MONITORED BY FORDS BOX PUT IN THE TRUCK. I HAD TO HIT THE BUTTON FOR A SIGNAL TO BE SENT TO FORD EVERY TIME MY ENGINE LOST POWER (WENT MOMENTARILY DEAD) FINALLY FORD INSTALLED A 2013 ECM TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, WHICH IT FIXED IT. I TRADED THE TRUCK FOR A 2014 F350 6.7L , NO PROBLEMS. *TR

I DECIDED TO SEE WHAT I COULD FIND AND FOUND THAT IT WAS LEAKING AROUND THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FROM A POSSIBLE FUEL LINE SEAL, STILL HAVE NOT FIXED BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BUY ALL NEW LINES AND REPLACE AT A LARGE COST.
