ON 2006 FORD F350 VEHICLE WITH 6.0 DIESEL , THE EGR COOLERS HAVE DEFECT THAT CAUSE THEM TO LEAK. AFTER READING INTO THIS IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO FORD AND THEY STATED IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD LOOK INTO AN AFTERMARKET COOLER SINCE THE OEM UNIT FAILS QUITE OFTEN TO THE FREQUENCY OF 2 TO 3 WITHIN 100,000 MILES. THIS REPAIR IS APPROX. 1000 TO 2000 DEPENDING ON IF THE HEAD GASKETS HAVE BEEN SUBSEQUENTLY DAMAGED AS WELL. IN MY CASE I HAD TO REPLACE THE OIL COOLER ALONG WITH EGR COOLER AN EGR VALVE AND HEAD GASKET. MY TOTAL BILL WAS $2095.63 FORD STATED IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS TSB,S ON THIS BUT HAS NO PLANS FOR A VOLUNTARY RECALL. THEY DID STATE THAT THEY WILL ONLY COMPENSATE IF INSTRUCTED TO DUE TO A RECALL. THESE ISSUES IF RESEARCHED ONLINE ARE MORE COMMON THEN PEOPLE NEEDING ANY OTHER PARTS ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN THESE COOLERS FAIL THE EGR GET WET AND DOES NOT FUNCTION. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH CAN MAKE YOU LOOSE POWER THUS LOOSING HYDROBOOST FOR BRAKING AND STEERING. *TR

BROUGHT A 2006 FORD F350 SUPER DUTY IN FEBRUARY. ONE MORNING IN OCTOBER I STARTED THE TRUCK LET IT WARM UP AND WENT TO DRIVE IT. AS I WAS GETTING ON TO A ON RAMP I LOOKED DOWN AT MY GAUGE CLUSTER AND NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS READING BELOW 0 MPH, WHEN I WAS DOING APPROXIMATELY. 45 - 55 MPH. THEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY CAME TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT. STARTED TO TAKE OFF AGAIN AND THE GAUGE WAS STILL READING 0 MPH. SO I PULLED OVER TO A SAFE LOCATION AND CALLED THE DEALER UP, THEY TOLD ME TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND START IT AGAIN. ONCE I DID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND HAS NOT DONE THAT SINCE. ALL THE OTHER GAUGES WERE READING FINE, TRUCK HAD NORMAL POWER AND RAN LIKE IT SHOULD. *NM

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
