MOST COMMON PROBLEMS
FORD F-350 2007
The 2007 Ford F-350 Super Duty is a robust pickup truck equipped with a 6.0L V8 diesel engine from Navistar, generating 325 horsepower. It's a 4WD crew cab designed for heavy-duty tasks, with a gross vehicle weight rating in Class 3 (10,001 - 14,000 lbs). Manufactured in Kentucky, this model also features hydraulic brakes and front airbags for both driver and passenger safety.

Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid, and leaks can reduce braking performance and lead to brake failure.
Brake fade
Overheating of brake components can cause a loss of braking power, especially during heavy use or on steep declines.
Worn brake pads or rotors
Regular wear and tear can cause brake pads and rotors to become thin and less effective, requiring replacement.
Air contamination in brake lines
Air bubbles in the hydraulic brake lines can reduce braking efficiency and cause a spongy brake pedal feel.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder is crucial for hydraulic pressure; its failure can lead to a complete loss of braking ability.
Vibration during braking
Warped rotors or uneven wear can cause vibrations when applying the brakes.
Engine overheating
V-shaped engines, like the V8 in this Ford F-350, can sometimes suffer from cooling issues, causing the engine to overheat.
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines are prone to oil leaks, especially from valve covers and gaskets.
Injector problems
Diesel engines from Navistar, particularly in this model year, have been known to have issues with fuel injectors.
Turbocharger failures
Turbochargers in Navistar engines can fail, leading to power loss and increased exhaust emissions.
Egr valve issues
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valves can get clogged, affecting engine performance and emissions.
Glow plug failures
Diesel engines use glow plugs for starting, and these can fail, especially in colder climates, leading to starting difficulties.
Excessive exhaust smoke
Problems with the fuel system or turbocharger can lead to black or white smoke from the exhaust.
Transmission wear
The heavy-duty nature of the F-350 can lead to transmission wear and potential failure, especially if used for towing or heavy loads frequently.
Suspension wear
Given the vehicle's weight and potential usage, suspension components like shock absorbers and springs can wear out faster.
