2008 F250 V8 gas engine. Had a sudden loss of power on Hwy. Will only do 5 MPH with pedal all the way down. Still starts and idles, a little rough, but does run. Dealer can't find problem, no codes show.

if water level is low it will go into fail safe and will alternate cylinders this is a safety feature in 08 will not produce any codes

I have a 2003 F250 7.3 liter disel, some times it will sputter and then it is fine. To night it lost all power, stoped and put into park and started it again no(auto)prolbem. Get the same gas from the same place every time. Could it be a water filter prolbem? Had the fule filter changed, with it's service.Don't know what else it could be? If you know let me know?

I have a 2008 F250 diesel that was a year old in FEB and whenever it rains and I try to accerlerate it does not have the power to pass another vehicle or when I tow my horse trailer or boat in the rain it will begin missing badly. I have taken it to the dealer 3 times for this and they cannot find anything wrong and it will not cause a light for the computer to find an error. The condition is the engine will bigin to flutter as it is on 3 cylinders and I can stop and it will clear until I push the pedal in to the passing gear. I need help from FORD. Anybody out there have the same problem?????????HELP!!

Dave - Sounds like the Cam Position Sensor (Ford calls this a CMP Sensor and International calls it a CAMP Sensor) The symptom is as you are driving, there is a sudden loss of power and sometimes engine cuts off. If you haven't replaced it yet, there was a recall with the 7.3 a couple years back. If they won't replace it free, it's a relatively easy DIY. Hope this helps

We have a 2009 Ford f250 diesel King Ranch and experienced intermittent missing & loss of power while pulling our 2 horse gooseneck trailer. It wasn't due to movement by the horse, he was securely tucked in and stable. It was a definite missing. Local Tyler TX Ford Dealership has no clue, wants us to continue highway travel hauling horses with a truck that loses power--over a 60 mile distance we had about 10-15 bouts of several misses at a time.Anybody know what this is?
