Just looking around finding out things about my F250 Powerstoke diesel
was just in the shop for 2 days for a 4 hour job...... one of the recalls was to reflash the ecu..... because it had a virus??? at least that what the service manager told me... QUOTE The Power Stroke Diesel is designed to last for 250,000 miles, more than twice the life expectancy of comparable gas engines. That translates to great resale value for Ford F-Series Super Duty owners. so they only expect the gas engine to last 100,000 miles I sol dmy mountaineer with 190,000 on the clock and it pulled strong and burned no oil... marketing.......... go figure.. |

Yea I have the 6.0 the thing is amazingly powerful has some teething problems I guess...
The service manager told me that some code was installed by a digruntled international or ford engineer.....There is a recall to relflash the ecu due to low power and rough idle... One day it just happened, started the truck... no power, rough idle.. like a switch was thrown... or a plug wire was pulled ( no plug wires though) the service manager told me at X miles this is happening... sounds like a stretch though.. Im constantly reflashing (adjusting ) the maps on the Haltechs and TEC's we have in the race cars.. |
