MY 2004 FORD F-360 TRUCK WOULD "CUT OUT" AND TRY TO QUIT RUNNING WHEN SLOWING FOR A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THOUGHT IT WAS BAD FUEL, FUEL FILTERS. HAD RECALLS DONE (GFR). PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN AND WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS PULLING A 16 FT. TRAILER WITH ONE HORSE LOADED, BEGAN TO EMIT WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST. THE TRUCK APPARENTLY OVERHEATED BUT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DID NOT INDICATE SUCH. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY WERE 99% SURE IT WAS GFR AGAIN, BUT IT WAS NOT. THE PROBLEM IS MUCH BIGGER. APPARENTLY IT WILL COST $5-10,000 FOR REPAIRS. THE MILEAGE IS 104,000, JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND I DID NOT PURCHASE ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I THEN HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO SAID HE COULD FIX THE TRUCK FOR A LOT LESS. BUT, HIS ESTIMATE WAS JUST AS COSTLY AS THE FIRST ESTIMATE. THE TRUCK REMAINS AT THE DEALER AS I REFUSE TO PAY THAT MUCH TO REPAIR. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 F-350 SUPERDUTY 4X4 [6.0 DIESEL]. I DROVE THROUGH WATER THE DEPTH OF THE STOCK TIRES. THE ENGINE INGESTED WATER BY WAY OF THE INTAKE. I WAS ADVISED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT THE INCIDENT DESTROYED THE ENGINE. THE AIR INTAKE IS LOCATED AT THE FRONT GRILL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FLAW IN DESIGN, CAUSING EASY ACCESS FOR THE WATER TO ENTER FROM THE AIR INTAKE. I AM GETTING NO ASSISTANCE FROM THE FORD COMPANY OR MY VEHICLE INSURANCE IN COVERING THE DAMAGE, WHICH IS ESTIMATED AT $ 15,000.00 DOLLARS. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IS OCCURRING OFTEN. *TR
