Powerstroke 6.4L Power-Loss / "Chugging" Issue

[SuperchargedMustang5]

It's an oil issue

The problem is that that motor is junk. I have an 08 F350 myself. I get 11mpg and the damn thing makes kinds of weird noises. Chugs now and again and doesn't have all that much power either. Not pleased with this truck. Its a friggin LOADED lariat too. Its got 82k on it now. When its warranty is up...trading in on the new 6.7. I mangaged to avoid the 6.0 nightmare. I LOVED my 7.3!!!

100% agreed with you I own 2008 f-450 only 27,xxx miles with only 1000 engine hours and it's a junk see my complete thread here: h t t p://powerstrokenation.c o m/forums/showthread.php?t=1252­03&highlight=

My 2008 SuperDuty did that. I took it into the dealer and they had to disassemble the truck to change the high pressure fuel pumps. They moved the bed back and removed the cab completly to get access to the area. They kept the truck for 11 days and generated an $11383.00 bill, that all went to warranty. i paid my $100 deductible and the truck has traveled over 100,000 miles without issue since then.

my 08 F450 did that it went away and a few weeks later the engine grenanded, just off of warranty too, that was a $18,500 touch

Water in the intercooler. Common problem with these.

so my 2001 7.3 does the exact same thing, seems worse when you kick in turbo, almost like a blown head gasket , alsmost a stall, did you every pin point your problem?

Yes u can take it off with a tuner to take the regen mode off and a dpf delete pipe. The downfall of the dpf delete is that if u get caught its a federal offense and a $10,000 fine. hope i helped u out if u need any more help i would be glad to help you

Ford needs a class action suit filed for this 6.4!! I am living a nightmare with a 2008 f350 King Ranch. Anybody want to join in a class action suit??? Please contact me. thanks

i bought a 2008 powerstroke when they first came out and thought the same thing. When it is acting up like that it is cleaning out the dpf (diesel particulate filter). It does this every time the dpf gets dirty(soot).You cant make these trucks smokers with the dpf on account of the truck will regenerate a lot more frequently.
