Ford Fuel Pump Issues?
Just got back from a trip to Branson, MO with my rig and had an interesting experience, The check engine light came on and the truck shut down in the middle of I-44... I got it into neutral and coasted to the side of the road - and decided to try and limp it to the exit about 1/4 mile away - Truck fired up and I was able to get back up to 60 mph and got to Branson with the check engine light glowing all the way. Disconnected the trailer and the light went out... Took it to the Ford Dealership and $254.00 later got told that the fuel pump electrics are wired to wires to small for it and under heavy loads (pulling trailers) will burn up. All they do is relocate the fuse to a different spot and send you on your way... after soaking you for the cash...
Called my dealership when I got home and was told "yup we are seeing a lot of this" I complained to Ford as I was almost rear ended when the truck shut down in the middle of I-44.
They said I should spread the word and if enough people complained, they might do something about it....
