I just bought a new Ford 2003 F-250 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel truck last week. After test driving the truck and experiencing the tremendous power and torque I was hooked. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Unlike myself, I bought the truck the same day without doing any research on it. I figured a top selling brand truck with their top of the line engine has got to be OK, right? After buying the truck I got on the Internet to read all the good things owners were probably saying. What a shock, it seems there have been many problems with this engine. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif The two most talked about are leaking injectors (filling the crankcase full of diesel) and problems when “reflashing” the engine control computer (loss of power and/or fuel mpg).
The Ford service managers I have talked to in this area say they had some problems initially with a few of them but they have many more happy owners than unhappy ones. But I was wondering if that is the case or they are just giving me the official company response. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Does anyone here own one or personally know of someone who owns a ’03 power stroke and if the experience has been good or bad. I know there are sites dedicated to this truck/engine, but I wanted to hear from some TBN members on the subject.
