Hi everyone, I am interested in people with problems with their Ford F250 specifically the 7.3 ltr Powerstroke 1999 onwards, I am most interested in vehicles with Injector / fuel delivery / #6 and #8 cylinder problems / vibration at clutch pedal / clutch and or flywheel problems / Fuel delivery at tank / I would be very interested in anyone who has been told that they have purchased dirty / contaminated fuel which has resulted in replaced injectors. I am considering a class action against Ford and I have a Barrister who is willing to champion the cause. Thankyou.

Hi mf250,
May
well be worth your while to place a post on the Bushtracker Owners
Forum if you havw not done it to date. Lot,s of Ford owners there.
You will, if you go back through their threads find a number of links to U.S. Ford F250/350 owner groups.
Should you post you may very
well hear of "Da Lone Ranger", a Bushtracker Director who has 3,000 years of knowledge but has lived less than 100, he can be bloody abrasive as he has an opinion on everything but the members appear to be a fantastic group.

Mate why don’t you give us the full story, being exactly what you have had to get replaced on your truck and what is still going wrong on it.
If the problems were that bad and common, you bet a law suet would of already been lodged in the U.S.
The Fuel pick up in the tank has a filter sock on it I think that can clog over time and give you problems.
Cheers.

Our 10/03 model had a problem with the fuel pump in the tank. Ford told us it was dirty fuel but we filled our 2/04 model from the same tanks and never had a problem.
After a lot of problems with Ford we paid for the pump to be replaced and we had no more problems. I think after they realised it was the problem they refunded us under warranty.
Ours didn't require injectors to be replaced afaik and the symptom was inability to rev freely with an associated complete lack of power.
Ours are both autos.
I found it quite interesting to find that after dealing with one Ford dealer for years and always being told 'we haven't heard of that problem before' we changed dealers and the new dealer has told us of problems we didn't even know about. He says his technicians run and hide in the bathroom when they see an F250 come in :-)
