I got an '08 with 30,000 miles on and had nothing but trouble since 17,000 or 18,000 miles. Regens every 50 to 70 miles and every 3rd or 4th time I have to pull over cause it won't hardly run. Hope yours is better than mine. Ford says its my problem not theirs.

HI txredman, Can you please give me more information, You should have 5 years/ 100,000 miles warranty on your engine, 5 years/ 60,000 miles the rest of your drivetrain, and 3 years/ 36,000 miles on the rest of the truck. Did you have a tuner ??? Did you remove the DPF or the factory exhaust ???

They have flashed it and updated it 4 times and can't figure out why it regens so much. I paid extra for a 200,000 mile/$0 deductible because iI was one of the saps that bought an 03 with the "wonderful" new 6.0 and had been through lots of trouble with it. I don't have a tuner and didn't remove DPF or factory exhaust because I don't want to give them any ground to stand on. They are already trying to say "bad fuel". i guess every station in north texas & south oklahoma has bad fuel cause I cant pass one at 10 MPG. I sent complaints to the BBB, Ford and to my congressman - making sure everybody knows the trouble I'm having and once again ford don't want to take any blame.

I love my 08 its a beast. I traded my 05 Harley Davidson for an 08 Harley Davidson and i almost got my new one about the same way my 05 was all except for i just need to some more upgraded aftermarket engine components so it'll run a little faster.

That's my next step, wanted to give them the option to 'offer' to buy it back first Texas LL says 4 unsuccesful repair attempts for the same problem. Now I have to call a lawyer & get the ball rolling on that. Gonna go over real good with a company that's fixin' to file bankruptcy for stupid screw ups like this and private jets!

HI txredman, I bought a 1999 F250 7.3 PSD SUPER-CAB LONG-BED with 32,800 miles in 2/2002 and paid $20,000, never had any engine problems, and it now has 141,000 miles, I went to buy a 2008 DODGE 2500 6.7 cummins mega-cab, dodge wanted $32,999, they didn't want to drop the price, I went to FORD, they had ONE 2008 F250 6.4 PSD SUPER-CAB LONG-BED for $36,000 & they told me they would let it go cheap, WHY ??? two reason, This F250 was at the dealer for 14 months & it didn't have PW, PDL, PM, PS & it only had am/fm radio, NO CD/player. I was just playing with them, when I said I only had $20,000 to spend, I got up to leave & the MANAGER to me to sit down, that he had to make a phone call, He came back & told me the best deal they can do is $21,698 SO I BOUGHT IT, I now have 1,243 miles & it's running perfect, my MPG are 12.8 to 14 in the city.

nothin but problems with my dads 08 powerjoke, he originally had brolems with the piece of s**t 6.0 with blowing turbo hoses all day long, got tire of that and went out and bought the 6.4 and he hates his even worse 30,000 and its running like my 87 chevy 1500 v-8 no power what so ever, pulling a trailer the milage sucks and he can walk faster up a hill than he can pulling 8k up a pass
