Geez now its the rad leaking. I learned one lesson, don't by a vehicle on the first build, (Built before June 30) after that they retool the factory and fix any problems. Im a guinea pig. But I love the truck except for the glitches. At least all happens before the warantee is up. Its booked in at the dealer for May 30 for the rad replacement as well as my regular oil change. Man the dealers make alot of money on fixing these things. But all new vehicles have problems not just because it says ford.

Yeah; I think the '08's are a new animal for the diesel market with all the new emissions BS. I know that a bunch of guys that idled their GMs this winter lost their trannies due to the fluid not circulating; and the Dodges were sending alot of wellsite programmers home in "limp mode" after idleing all day to run their laptops and heaters. They're all junk, I guess we just pick our junk and hope for the best. What more can we expect for only $70,000.00.

If you're tired of electrical BS you could fix the problem once and for all like I did with my 99 F450... swap a 12 valve Cummins in and call it good

ron there is a couple of real good deisel techs at city ford call dwayne the service advisor and tell him you want danny to work on your truck. The man is a genius. I use him for the trucks that i run at work.

Tonight my turbo line blew off, the line that exits the intercooler that returns back to the engine. I drove for about 4 km to get to the closest place so I can figure what was wrong, there was a loud bang from the engine. My rad was just replaced and it could be from a careless repair, but im not sure. Sledderglen came out and fixed for me. Im not sure about engine damage yet but I just fired a nasty email to the dealer. Any one know if I will have future issues because of this. The engine was sucking in unfiltered air.

Intercooler came off to change the rad. I have a link to the Super Duty online service manual at home if you need the replacement procedures.

I would be having the dealer check Sledderglens (not doubting sledderglen) work just so there is a work order in OASIS showing the line came off after the rad change.

It is actually a fairly common thing......on a Freightliner!!! usually a few a month hose blows off or it splits. If you hear a high pitch whistle under load that will usually be a hole in an intercooler.

Yep, like I told you Ron, sRics would blow on a regular basis on his Ford...extra boost adds to the problem slightly too.
