2004 Ford F-250 Electrical System Problems

I purchased this truck in January 2023. Drove just fine for 2 months and started having this issue. While driving my 2004 f250 sd 6.0l turbodiesel 4x4, (egr deleted, bulletproofed and studded engine, cold air intake, oil cooler, sct x4 tuner) a "fizzle" noise was heard more on passenger side; acting like fuel wasn't reaching engine; and truck stalled right after noise was heard. Wouldn't restart on a hot engine. Crank-no start. Drained both batteries attempting to restart. Restarted after cold engine but would stalled out and not be able to restart while hot engine. Replaced both fuel filters, fuel pump, some module in front bumper relating to fuel system. A friend that knows diesel engines has been trying to find out why its operating the way it is. I treated the gas tank to (2) SEAFOAM for trucks and had valvoline in Ferndale, WA do an oil change after purchasing it. Recalls say that they've been done, but could this issue be caused by the FICM recall?

The contact owns a 2004 Ford F-250. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle jerked and briefly lost motive power before the vehicle stalled. No warning lights were illuminated. After several attempts, the vehicle restarted. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic; however, no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number 05V270000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I was driving in nampa around 5pm when my truck lost power my fuel peddle had 0 response tried to pull off the road almost had an accident because truck died losing steering power and brakes was hard to push truck had lost the voltage board in the ficm. Upon going over forums this is a major common issue amongst many ford owners. I also have a ground short from unknown location not sure as to what has caused this but assuming it has to do with the wiring harnesses to the ficm. I feel Ford should be in repair of this due to the large amount of issues across the nation of 6.0 owners but this is a very dangerous situation for owners. Not having steering control in such a large truck is extremely dangers. Previous owner had same issue and replaced the ficm and said it shouldn’t ever be an issue I feel there is a wiring issue that needs to be addressed.

VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER-STALLS AND LOSES FUNCTION WHEN IDLING. HAS OCCURRED WHEN EXITING FREEWAY WAY AND IN A REGULAR NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS. NEED TO RESTART AFTER STALL.

EXPERIENCE STALLING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AND MAY OR MAY NOT RESTART. IT WILL ALSO STALL AFTER LETTING OFF THE THROTTLE WHEN APPROACHING A STOP AND OCCASIONALLY WHILE WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. RPM'S WILL ALSO DROP TO 500 AND I HAVE NO THROTTLE RESPONSE, IF IT DOESN'T STALL COMPLETELY. THIS MAY OCCUR 4 OR MORE TIMES A DAY, THEN MAY NOT OCCUR AGAIN FOR A FEW DAYS OR WEEKS. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO TELLING WHEN IT WILL OCCUR, IT IS TO RANDOM TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. NOW MY HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL HAVE STOPPED WORKING AS WELL, WHEN I REPLACE THE FUSE IT BLOWS IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE REPLACED THE FICM, EBP SENSOR AND WIRING, FUEL PUMP AND STILL HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE TRUCK IN 2018, BUT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS THE TEMPERATURE WARMS UP. THE FOLLOWING RECALL NUMBER 05V270000 SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING, BUT DOES NOT SHOW A RECALL FOR MY TRUCK.

TAKARA RECALL I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I ALL THE SUDDEN HAD A LOSS OF POWER AND IT WAS LIKE THE MOTOR WAS SPUTTERING LIKE IT HAD A MISFIRE AFTER THAT IT'S VERY HARD TO START AND BARELY MOVES IT COMES UP WITH MULTIPLE INJECTOR CODES THAT ALL FAILED AT THE SAME TIME SOME HIGH SOME LOW

2004 FORD F250 SD 6.0L SPUTTERS, LUNGES & DIES OUT WHEN IDLE, WAITING IN TRAFFIC OR DRIVING SLOWLY. LUCKILY, IT'S BEEN STARTING RIGHT BACK UP. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING QUITE OFTEN LATELY. LOOKED UP POSSIBLE CAUSES AND FOUND RECALL 05V270000 FROM 2005, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE EXACT ISSUE I AM HAVING. CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE ZERO RECALLS PERTAINING TO THIS TRUCK AND THAT THAT PARTICULAR RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE MY TRUCK. I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT VEHICLE AND HOW THIS ISSUE HADN'T BEEN COVERED UNDER SAID RECALL. I HAVE THE NHTSA RECALL NO EA05003, BUT IT HAS TIMED OUT AND IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING ON THIS SITE. PLEASE REALIZE THAT ALL THESE SAME VEHICLE OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE AND IT ISN'T BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY FORD OR THE NHTSA.

MY TRUCK STARTED TO STALL INTERMITTENTLY, I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE NUMEROUS REPAIRS PERFORMED. I SAW NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V270000 WHICH REFERENCES FORD RECALL NO. 05S34. I CALLED TO INQUIRE AT WEST BROTHERS FORD IN SULLIVAN MO. AND WAS TOLD MY TRUCK HAS NO RECALLS. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE FIRST PERSON SAID THE RECALL EXPIRED AND MY TRUCK WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND PERSON SAID MY TRUCK WASN'T AFFECTED BECAUSE THE RECALL SAID "CERTAIN" VEHICLES. MY TRUCK FALLS IN THE MANUFACTURE DATES LISTED ON THE RECALL, HAS THE 6.0 ENGINE AND IS STALLING NOW. I HAVE OWNED MY TRUCK SINCE NEW AND IT HAS NOT HAD THIS WORK PERFORMED ON IT. I WOULD LIKE AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT "CERTAIN" VEHICLES APPLY TO THIS RECALL AND WHY MINE DOESN'T. I WOULD ALSO LIKE MY TRUCK FIXED OR REIMBURSED BY FORD, UNLESS THEY CAN SHOW WHY MY TRUCK DOESN'T NEED THE WORK DONE. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER.
