Few Issues: Transmission, rear gears, steering gear box. Solution: Suck it up or sell it to someone you don't like. Why: I went to trade my truck in for a new GMC 1 ton last week. The dealership didn't want my '05 PSD F-350. They said it would be better if I sold it. The Dodge dealership offered me $3K < than the BlueBook trade amount. My F-350 is loaded, has 33K miles and looks new. Note: When the truck runs right, it is the best truck I've ever had. It pulls, haul and rides better than any truck on the market today. Some owners never have a problem with their PSD. However, as many times mine has been in the shop, I just don't trust it for the long term.

Markford14 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Turbos and EGRs are comman problems i hear of. Like said when the 6.0Ls run right they can do alot. I have friends that have 03-07 and the trucks have been next to perfect. Out of 10 trucks only one needed a EGR valve and thats it. Mine on the other hand is the problem child. Reflashed twice, codes, check engine lights, trottle sensor and thats just for the motor. The steering has had problems since 5k on it and continues to this day and the truck is only a year old.

Ford-150 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 thank you for the info, i think he might be having a problem with the turbos, his trucks work really hard, most are hauling a bobcat 90% of the week along with equipment in the bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
