2006 FORD LCF 450 SERIES Complaints

THE FUEL TANK DELANMINATES FROM THE INSIDE, ALLOWING PAINT CHIPS TO FLOW INTO THE PUMP AND INJECTORS, CAUSING THE VEHICAL TO SUDDENLY DIE OUT ON THE HIGHWAY

MY LCF DUMP TRUCK BEGAN IDLING A BIT IRRADICALLY. DRIVING THE TRUCK AT ABOUT 40 MPH IT BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND LOSE POWER, UNTIL THE ENGINE TURNED OFF COMPLETELY LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. I OPENED UP THE PRIMARY FUEL FILTER AND FOUND IT TO BE CAKED WITH A SILVER METALLIC MATERIAL. I PUT IN A NEW FILTER AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK HOME, BUT THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING AS IT SHOULD. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND A LOT OF DIESEL FORD TRUCK OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND IT WAS BECAUSE THE FUEL TANKS WERE DELAMINATING AND GETTING SUCKED THROUGH THE FUEL SYSTEM.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE DRIVER HAS NOTICED A SLOWING DOWN(BOGGING) OF THE ENGINE AND MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT SHUTOFF, THAT I KNOW OF, BUT THE DRIVER IS WARY OF OPERATING THE TRUCK, DUE TO BOGGING ISSUE. *TR

THE DRIVER IS ONTHE ROAD, TRUCK ENGINE BOGS, THEN DIES.HE MANAGED TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD, LET SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN THE TRUCK RESTARTED AND RA FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, THEN THE SAME SCENARIO, SEVERAL MORE TIMES BEFORE HE MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE SHOP. I PULLED BOTH FUEL FILTERS AND FOUND THE ON-FRAME FILTER PLUGGED WITH A SCALY, WHITISH-SILVER CRYSTALLINE FILM. I REPLACED BOTH FILTERS, NOW, A FEW THOUSAND MILES ON THE NEW FILTERS, IT IS DOING IT AGAIN AND I AM REPLACING THE FILTERS AGAIN. *TR

2006 FORD LCF FUEL SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES OVER 6 OR 7 YEARS, FORD REPAIRED FUEL SYSTEM, OVER $5,000. FUEL TANK DELAMINATED, MAY 2014 SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN. THE TRUCK HAS STALLED ON THE ROAD AT 40 MPH SEVERAL TIMES THIS YEAR. AFTER THE STALL IS WILL NOT RESTART, NEEDS TOWED. I HAVE OVER 18,000 IN REPAIRS OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. IT IS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND NEED INJECTORS AND OIL PRESSURE PUMP AGAIN. FORD WILL NOT WARRANTY THIS CONSTANT PROBLEM. *JS

I HAVE 2 LCF'S. BOTH THE FUEL TANKS ARE FAILING BECAUSE OF DIESEL ADDITIVES. I HAVE REPLACED ONE ALREADY WHICH COST ME $1700, NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE OTHER. *TR

OUR 2006 FORD LCF RUNS VERY ROUGH,AND STALLS WHILE MOVING. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THE FUEL TANK IS DELAMINATING INSIDE, CAUSING THE FUEL INJECTORS TO FAIL. APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. WE'VE REPLACED SEVERAL FUEL INJECTORS OVER THAT TIME. THE COST TO FIX THIS (FROM FORD) IS 5,000.00. NEW TANK,FUEL LINES, ALL NEW INJECTORS. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THAT THIS IS BECOMING COMMON FOR THE FORD 2006 FORD LCF. I HAVE VERY GOOD MAINTANANCE RECORDS AND ONLY USE FUEL FROM ONE SOURCE. SINCE 2009 I HAVE SPENT 14,000.00 ON REPAIRING THIS FORD LCF, MOSTLY FUEL ISSUES. *TR
