Here we go again!
Our 2008 F-440 with 15,000 miles on it has become a coolant drinker. 5 gals of anti-freeze in a couple of weeks. One gallon just pulling it out of the bay and backing it back in. Puddle of coolant at tail pipe.
Drove it to the dealer and had a steam trail for a quarter mile behind it. After 9 miles it cleared up. But when I stopped and restarted the steam retruned.
After waiting 3 weeks for an appointment at local dealer I took it to them. They had it for 5 days before announcing they found it needed a new EGR and oil cooler. Now I have to wait 4 days before they can get it back to me.
Why are the Ford engines such a problem?
We had the same problem with our 2004 F-350 6.0 engine after 30,000 miles last year.
We are picking up a new F-450 2010 next week. Is this going to be a problem with this one also?
