Common failures & how to fix them

Parts and video buttons search for your 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty. Always confirm a part fits using your VIN. Brakes, steering, fuel and airbag work affects your safety, so if you're not sure, have a qualified mechanic do it.

• Front-end shake (death wobble)

  Moderate DIY

  Signs: Violent shaking of the steering wheel and front end after hitting a bump, usually at 45+ mph. Slowing down hard is often the only way to stop it.

  Fix: Find and replace the worn parts, most often the track bar or its bushings, then check ball joints, tie rod ends, the drag link and alignment. A new steering stabilizer alone usually only hides the problem.

• 6.0L oil cooler and EGR cooler failure

  Best left to a shop

  Signs: Coolant loss with no visible leak, white smoke, and engine oil running much hotter than coolant on a scan tool.

  Fix: Replace the oil cooler and EGR cooler, usually with upgraded parts, and flush the cooling system. It's a big job.

• 6.0L blown head gaskets

  Best left to a shop

  Signs: Coolant pushed out of the coolant bottle under load, bubbles in the coolant, overheating when towing.

  Fix: Replace head gaskets and install head studs in place of the factory bolts (part of 'bulletproofing'). Fix the oil and EGR coolers at the same time.

  Shop: 6.0 Powerstroke head studs▶ How-to videos

• 6.0L FICM failure

  Moderate DIY

  Signs: Hard starts (especially cold), rough running and misfires.

  Fix: Test the fuel injection control module's voltage. Repair or replace the FICM, and check the batteries, since weak batteries are hard on it.

  Shop: 6.0 Powerstroke FICM▶ How-to videos

• Broken spark plugs (5.4L / 6.8L 3-valve gas)

  Hard DIY

  Signs: Plugs snap off in the head during a tune-up.

  Fix: Use the plug removal procedure for these engines and a broken-plug extractor tool if one snaps. Many owners leave this job to a shop.

  Shop: Ford 3V broken spark plug extractor▶ How-to videos

• Worn ball joints and tie rods

  Hard DIY

  Signs: Clunks over bumps, wandering steering, uneven tire wear, or play when you rock a lifted front wheel.

  Fix: Replace worn ball joints and tie rod ends, then get an alignment. Ball joints need a press tool, which many parts stores lend out.

    The contact owns a 2006 Ford F-350. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 MPH, the front passenger wheel drove over a small dip in the roadway and the vehicle started to shimmy. The contact stated that the vehicle was difficult to steer. The contact continued driving at a slower speed to allow the shimmy to self-correct. There was no warning illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed; however, no cause for the failure was found and the failure was not duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The mechanic checked for recalls related to the failure and advised the contact that the manufacturer had issued a recall for the failure (09L02) for severe steering wheel and front wheel vibrations. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 265,000.

    Vehicle has experienced "death wobble," a common and well documented occurrence in Ford F250 and F350 model trucks. This has occurred on multiple occasions since 2006, and most recently on 4/26/2022. The incident occurred while traveling approximately 45 MPH, and hitting a small bump in the road. When the "death wobble" occurs, the vehicle shakes violently and is difficult to control. This creates a hazardous situation for the occupants of the vehicle and other vehicles/pedestrians in the vicinity of the vehicle. Prior and current attempts to contact Ford service departments, typically involves Ford stating there is not a recall and any repair outside of warranty are the responsibility of owner. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. There is no warning prior to the "death wobble," and occurs when the vehicle is travelling at speed more than 45 MPH.

  • Filed Jun 2021

    My truck experiences what I have learned is called the death wobble. The condition occurs intermittently but usually at speeds above 50mph and seems to be initiated by hitting any small bump. The whole front end shakes violently like the tires have been half filled with lead causing them to rotate wildly out of round. The truck actually bounces up and down rapidly and the steering wheel shakes violently creating a very unsafe driving circumstance. My research into this issue uncovered that this is a well-known condition that has been reported multiple times by many different Ford truck owners and that it occurs on Ford trucks of various year make and model. I also am aware of Fords service letter 09L02 advising owners to maintain proper air pressure to combat the issue. It is my opinion that Fords efforts to address this issue are woefully inadequate and the NHTSA has allowed this manufacturer to produce and provide an unsafe vehicle to the public for way to long. This is a hazardous condition that needs to be properly addressed.

I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY YESTERDAY AND MY VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK. I IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL FORWARD THE BILL WHEN I RECEIVE IT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A FACTORY DEFECT THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, I HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP ONE MONTH AGO AND HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW DEF HEATER AT THE TUNE ALMOST $1,000. AT THAT TIME THEY DID THEIR MULTI-POINT INSPECTION WHICH SHOWS THAT THE PARTS THAT FAILED WERE ALL FINE. PLEASE HELP ME AS FORD IS TRYING TO SCREW ME OVER ON A 70K TRUCK WITH MINIMAL MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD PAY FOR NOT THE CONSUMER.

    8 years ago was crossing RR tracks and vehicle started violently shaking had to slow to 10mph for it to stop. Checked found nothing wrong finished drive home. Took to Ford dealership and they said some tricks shake when tire pressure is wrong and didn't find anything wrong with vehicle. Truck did this once more and after that when I approach RR tracks I slow to 5- 10 mph to keep it from happening. Took it back to Ford 1 time and again they spoke about tire pressure but tire pressure was fine. In the last 2 weeks anytime I hit a bump the truck violently shakes I took to a mechanic shop and they said something was wrong with front end but not sure what. I called Ford and they said to bring it in. We will see what happens because this truck has done this off and on for the last 8 years, but now it does it all the time. It has been shaking so violently I wouldn't be surprised if other damages have happened from it.

    THIS YEAR ALONG WITH OTHER YEARS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE EGR VALVE AND TURBO. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A DEAL WHERE FORD HAD TO REPAIR EMERGENCY VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT A NORMAL EVERYDAY CONSUMER. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ENGINE BLOWING HEAD GASKETS AND EGR VALVE ISSUES WHICH MAKES THE TRUCK SUDDENLY HAVE LOSE OF POWER WHEN DRIVING ALONG WITH OTHER ISSUES AS SMOKING AND ENGINE LIGHTS GOING ON. AS YOU CAN READ ON LINE EVERYONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM IS REALLY FRUSTRATED AND FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS ENGINE. THE DIESEL TRUCK SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AT 79000 MILES. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD THINK A DECISION HAD BEEN MADE TO PUT THIS ENGINE IN TRUCKS KNOWING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WOULD STAND BEHIND IT. I GUESS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED YET OR SERIOUSLY HURT. JUST BECAUSE FORD WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS PROBLEM AFTER THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. WHICH IT HAS WITH US. I FEEL THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. WE HAVE PULLED A 15,000 LBS BOAT BEHIND THIS TRUCK AND IT COULD SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. HAS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTING SMOKING. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT BUT I GUESS BECAUSE NO ONE WAS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM NO ONE WILL PAY TO REPAIR. IT IS SAD THAT OUR TAX DOLLARS HELP DIG THIS CAR MAKERS OUT OF DEBT BUT THEY WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR WORKMANSHIP. WHY DOESN'T THE SAFETY BOARD MAKE FORD REPAIR THIS ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE ARE REALLY FRUSTRATED AND WOULD LIKE FORD TO REPAIR. IT IS NOT THE CONSUMERS FAULT THERE WAS A BAD ENGINE. 2006 IS NOT THE ONLY YEAR.

    WAS DRIVING MY 2006 F350 SD LARIAT DUALLY WITH ONLY 7,858 MILES, HAULING A GOOSENECK TRAILER WITH A HORSE INSIDE AND STEERING STARTED TO SHIMMY ONCE I GOT UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED (55 MPH) ON I-85N ENROUTE TO A HORSE SHOW. PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND GOT NO RESPONSE. I COULD NOT STOP THE 15,000# OF TRUCK, TRAILER AND HORSE BUT WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND CRUISE INTO A LARGE EMPTY PARKING LOT AND SLOW DOWN ENOUGH WHERE I COULD SAFELY APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD OR INJURING MY HORSE. TIRES WERE FINE BUT THERE WAS A DISTINCTIVE SMELL OF BURNING PAD AGAINST RED HOT METAL AND TREMENDOUS SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT FROM BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WHERE THE ROTOR IS SEATED. BRAKE CALIPER SEIZED ONTO THE ROTOR, WARPING IT AND DESTROYING THE BRAKE PAD. POST POLICE ESCORT, HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND $2,400 LATER (WHICH INCLUDED NEW BATTERIES AND 2 NEW FRONT TIRES), ALL THE OFFENDING ITEMS WERE REPLACED. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED THAT THE REAR CALIPERS AND BRAKE MECHANISM BE CHECKED AND THEY ASSURED ME THEY DID AND NOTHING WAS WRONG. HOWEVER, COMING DIRECTLY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, MY DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL BRAKE SEIZED WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. AGAIN, HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ANOTHER $1,600 LATER (THIS AMOUNT INCLUDES 4 MORE TIRES), REPLACING EVERYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE REAR BRAKES. IN MY RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED BUT A COMMON PROBLEM POSSIBLY DUE TO FAULTY HCU (HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT) EQUIPMENT. COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. A FIRE ALSO COULD HAVE EASILY STARTED AS THE BRAKE FLUID PUMPED BACK INTO THE MAIN ENGINE AREA OF THE TRUCK.

    While performing a lift of a 520-pound load in a boom position rated for 575 pounds, the crane abruptly failed due to a faulty weld and dropped the load approximately 18 inches, causing minor injuries to the crane operator. There was no sign of trouble before the failure. The failed weld was a circumferential weld between the support pillar and the bearing mount. This was concealed inside the base of the boom assembly and this part arrived already assembled. The skirt that extends from the boom assembly over the bearing mount caught on the pillar and stopped the boom from falling off the pillar entirely. The weld had a full bead but no penetration around most of its circumference. After painting this would have been hard to inspect visually even with the appropriate portion disassembled. Other reviews posted on Amazon.com, where the crane was purchased, show the same kind of deficient welding. The problem was reported to Amazon through a customer service representative and through their safety issue reporting system but they have made no acknowledgement of the issue and have not asked for more details. The broken component has since been repaired and returned to service but photographs of the failure are available.

    I SLOWED TO LET A VEHICLE PASS ON A NARROW STREET. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO GET MY 2006 FORD F350 WITH THE 6.0L POWERSTROKE DIESEL ENGINE BACK UP TO 25 MILES PER HOUR, THE GAS PEDAL PULLED ITSELF TO THE FLOOR AT ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR AND WOULD NOT COME OFF THE FLOOR. I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKES AND PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, THEN USE MY FOOT TO GET UNDER THE GAS PEDAL AND RETURN IT TO IT'S NORMAL OPERATING POSITION. AFTER, I DROVE TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ELECTRICAL SENSOR IN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PROBABLY BAD AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY NEEDED REPLACED. THIS INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSE ME TO REAR END A PERSON AT THE STOP SIGN IN FRONT OF ME AND PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THE ROAD IN THE CROSSWALK.

    FORD F-350 2006 COMPLAINT. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING (SHIMMYING) WHEN THE TRUCK HITS A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY AND AS A RESULT, EXTREME DIFFICULTY MAINTAINING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE WAS IN AUGUST 2015, ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELLING AT 75MP. WE HIT A BUMP AND THE TRUCK / STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS CAUSING US TO SWERVE ACROSS LANES AND STRUGGLE TO KEEP THE TRUCK IN THE LANE AND OUT OF TRAFFIC'S WAY. WE HAVE SINCE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM FOUR MORE TIMES HITTING BUMPY HIGHWAYS AT SPEEDS AS LOW AS 50MMP AND AS RECENT AS 2 WEEKS AGO. WE HAVE CHECKED IT OUT AND OUR MECHANIC ADVISED THAT HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HAS BEEN A GREAT CONCERN OF OURS AS IT PUTS OUR LIVES (AND THOSE ON THE ROAD WITH US) AT DANGER WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS. ADDITIONALLY, EVERY TIME THE VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURS, IT THROWS OFF THE ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING FOR THE TRUCK. WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD ADVISING OF THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER FROM THE FORD DEALER WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM. FORD IS NOT ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS TO THESE DEFECTS AT THIS TIME. OUR TIRE PRESSURE IS IN KEEPING WITH FORD'S RECOMMENDATIONS AS THEY SUGGEST IN THEIR LETTER. FORD F-350 TRUCKS SHOULD NOT BE APPROVED FOR USE ON HIGHWAYS AS THIS DEFECT COULD RESULT IN FATAL ACCIDENTS IF THE SHAKING CANNOT BE CONTROLLED. ALSO, FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE FAULTY TRUCKS.

    EXPERIENCED SEVERE VIBRATIONS AND SHIMMING AFTER HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD. HAD TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE I COULD GO ON. I THOUGH I MUST OF HAD A FLAT TIRE, BUT NO. TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THEY TIGHTENED SOME THINGS AND ADJUSTED THE TIRE PRESSURE. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE LOCAL GARAGE TO HAVE THE TIRES CHECKED, BUT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS FINE. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ABOUT TWICE A YEAR WITH NO REASON, JUST DEPENDS HOW I HIT A BUMP ON THE ROAD. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN CROSSING A BRIDGE ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS LAST TIME IN OCTOBER 2011, I WAS CROSSING A BRIDGE ON INTERSTATE PA 80 IN THE PASSING LANE, WHEN IT HAPPENED. I WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD BEFORE I COULD STOP. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND, OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. I WAS READY TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER, AND TELL THEM, ITS TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE. I GOT THIS LETTER FROM FORD DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE. THEY ARE CORRECT STATING "A SEVERE" VIBRATION, BUT TOTALLY WRONG SAYING THIS CONDITION RESULTS FROM SIGNIFICANT TIRE UNDER-INFLATION. I'VE NEVER DRIVEN MY TRUCK WITH SIGNIFICANT TIRE UNDER-INFLATION. THIS SHIMMING CANNOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY, BUT THAT WAS THE IMPRESSION I GOT FROM THE DEALER. I WONDER HOW LONG FORD REALLY NEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I SHOULD BE ON RECORD BACK AT MY DEALER SOON AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE. *TR

    SAND AND SMALL PEBBLES ARE CAUGHT IN THE FRONT SIDE WINDOWS TRIM OR WEATHER STRIPPING. THIS CAN ONLY BE CLEANED WITH THE WINDOW DOWN. THE GRIT IN THE WEATHER STRIPPING SCRATCHES THE WINDOW UNTIL IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW WHEN HEAD LIGHTS OR SUN SHINES IN CERTAIN DIRECTIONS. FORD HAS REPLACED THE WINDOWS AND WEATHER STRIPPING TWICE BUT THIS JUST STARTS THE PROCESS OF SCRATCHING OVER. I FEEL SOME TYPE OF FENDER EXTENTION IS NEEDED TO STOP THE GRIT FROM BEING KICKED UP FROM THE FRONT TIRES. IN THE WINTER OR ON DIRT ROADS THE PROBLEM LEADS TO CLEANING THE WEATHER STRIPPING DAILY OR NOT USING THE WINDOWS. THERE IS ALWAYS A SCRATCHING SOUND AS THE WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN

    ON 3 JUNE, 2006, MY DAUGHTER, WHILE DRIVING OUR 2006 FORD PICKUP, MET ANOTHER VEHICLE ON A NARROW COUNTRY ROAD. THE STEEP DROPOFF AND NATURE OF THE ROAD DID NOT ALLOW EITHER DRIVER TO COMPLETELY MOVE OVER ENOUGH AND THE MIRRORS OF THE TWO TRUCKS BUMPED. THE MIRROR ON THE OTHER TRUCK, A CHEVROLET, BROKE AWAY CAUSING NO INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MIRROR ON MY DAUGHTER'S 2006 FORD EXPLODED SENDING SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING THROUGHOUT THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. MY DAUGHTER REQUIRED A TRIP TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, STITCHES, AND FOLLOW UP MEDICAL TREATMENT. IN ADDITION TO THE FLYING GLASS, THE MIRROR HOUSING SEPARATED AND ONE LARGE SECTION STRUCK MY DAUGHTER IN THE SHOULDER BEFORE COMING TO REST IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE EXTENDED CAB TRUCK WHILE A SMALLER SECTION OF THE HOUSING LANDED IN THE TRUCK'S BED. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30 MPH AND WERE SLOWING WHEN THEY MET. THE CHEVROLET MIRROR DETACHED WITH NO INJURY AND MINIMAL DAMAGE. THE FORD MIRROR CAUSED PHYSICAL INJURY AND OVER A $1000 IN DAMAGES TO THE TRUCK. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A VAST DIFFERENCE IN THE DESIGN OF THE FORD AND CHEVY MIRRORS WHICH CAUSED THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HARMED THE FORD'S DRIVER. PICTURES, MEDICAL RECORDS, AND A STATEMENT WERE SENT TO FORD BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN AND REFUSE TO MAKE ANY COMMENT ON THIS SITUATION. THEY HAVE ALSO REFUSED TO RETURN THE DOCUMENTS AND PICTURES WHICH I HAVE SUBMITTED. WE OWN 2005 AND 2006 FORD TRUCKS AND ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THEM WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN FOR FEAR OF INJURY FROM POSSIBLE FLYING GLASS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *NM

Safety ratings

NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings from government crash tests. Ratings can differ by cab style and 2WD/4WD.

NHTSA hasn't published star ratings for this truck. Many heavy-duty pickups aren't included in NHTSA's crash-test program, so this doesn't mean the truck is unsafe.
