power loss 6.4l powerstroke
#21
Ford drove my truck a total of 1000 miles and said they couldn't duplicate the problem. I paid for half the diesel until I got sick of that and made them do it. They never did say they could duplicate the problem. Looked to me like the judge is going to side with me but will have to wait to see.
When these trucks do this, it is a major safety issue and Ford can't see that. Looks like more and more people are starting to have issues with them during regen.

My truck is in the shop now for nearly two weeks. I loaded the truck and trailer to 24,000 lbs. which is within the towing rating and drove it with the mechanic. It didn't lose power like it had but it threw a trouble code saying it lost fuel pressure.
The mechanic has been talking to Ford and they are basicly no help. they say they want to try to "duplicate" it. Which means they want deniability.
Mechanic is goin to try to replace some fuel pressure sensor but he is just guessing. Oh by the way they replace the raditor when they reflashed the pcm and guess what it is leaking again.
Never will I buy a Ford again. Pieces of ****.......

Newest Update.
Just picked up my truck after two weeks in the shop.
Drove it 15 miles home, hooked up my trailer and headed up the mountain on the freeway.
Got half a mile up the hill and all the power went away dropped to 16 miles an hour and stayed there over the top. Came back up the other side at 15 mph, drove on the flat road at 23 mph. Un hooked the trailer without shutting it off and empty couldn't get over 25 mph.
Cycled the key on and off and then it ran normal. Pulled it into the dealers service drive shut it off and now it won't restart again. DUH, Maybe now they can find it.
FORDS suck I'll stick with my 2004 Cummins Dodge.

Well I took my truck in again and they had two codes this time. Neither one really was specific but the techs got together and really thought about it this time. They determined that individually the codes meant nothing, but together it led them to the low pressure fuel pump, or "Lift pump" mounted on the frame.
They replaced it and I have driven it up the hills and it seems to be fixed.
Funny how much more effort they put into fixing it when you point out that this is the 4th time for the same problem and it has now been in the shop for 35 days.
I do have to give the techs credit as the Ford Hotline was absolutely more worthless than **** on a boar.
It regens constantly after the reflash recall so now that it runs I am gonna
delete and tune if you know what i mean.

Fix for the Power loss problem
I have a 08 6.4-liter Power Stroke V-8 Turbo Diesel engine and a couple months after I had it it started losing power randomly. It wouldn't go over 40 mph on a flat road or 15mph up hill if you kept your foot pedal to the floor. I had a hard time getting it to do it when I would take it to the garage and then one day it started doing it and I took it right to the garage and they diagnosed it. They found some sort of sensor or something like that that is located in behind the passenger side tire under the turbo. They changed it and it has run fine for almost a year it just started doing it again last week and the garage is replacing that part again. I hope to get it back tomorrow. I'll find out the exact name of the part.
