This concerns the International 6.4 Liter Diesel engine used in 2008-2010 Ford Super Duty Trucks. It is common knowledge in the industry that these are "bad" engines however there has been no recall as of date. In my situation, while under warranty, and carrying a load (5,000 lbs), the vehicle when into "limp mode" during an extended trip. After the load was emptied I took the vehicle to the dealer and they found nothing wrong with. Now at 25,000 miles, and out warranty timewise, the turbo(s) blew, evidencing that the truck had weak turbos from the factory. When referenced these occurrences, Ford still will not honor their warranty even though my initial complaint was timely and validly made. Ford misdiagnosed or didn't have the proper equipment to investigate my initial complaint. In any event, considering the widespread knowledge of this particular engine's defects, the entire 6.4 Fleet should be recalled as these engines have been being replaced and repaired on a massive scale.
