My 2006 Ford crew cab powerstroke turbo diesel has an engine oil cooler and egr/egr cooler problems that keeps the truck from full power up hills and with loads. Extremely dangerous pulling trailer up grade's, it loses power, blows white smoke and becomes unstable. The temp. Between the oil cooler and the egr cooler shuts down the trucks computer, leaving the truck inoperable. Costs to repair $6793. Why has there been no recall on this issue I'm starting to see there are many other complains on this engine design are you waiting for someone to be killed before you do something?
Manufacturers defect. The head gaskets kept blowing up and loss of power especially up the hill the company does not make that engine anymore. Anyone with that engine is out of luck as soon as the run out of warranty
