2008 Ford F-530 problems
The Ford Super Duty engine is a range of V8 engines that were manufactured by Ford Motor Company. Introduced in 1958, the Super Duty engines replaced the Lincoln Y-block V8 (alongside the smaller Ford MEL V8 engines).
By the end of the 1970s, the use of the Super Duty engine began to decline in heavy trucks in favor of diesel-fueled engines; in medium-duty trucks, variants of the similar-displacement (but higher-efficiency) 385-series V8s became more commonly used. In 1981, Ford withdrew the Super Duty engine line.
Through its production, the Super Duty engines were assembled by Ford in its Cleveland Engine Plant #2 in Brook Park, Ohio.

- Summary: WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 301 THRU STARKE, FLORIDA, IN MY MOTOR HOME, IN A 30 MPH ZONE, THE ENGINE STOPPED. ALL ELECTRIC WAS LOST, AS A RESULT, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. FORTUNATELY I WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH TO MAKE A CONTROLLED STOP. I NOTIFIED 911 AND THEY DISPATCHED THE STARKE POLICE TO PROVIDE TRAFFIC CONTROL, AS MOTOR HOME WAS BLOCKING A TRAVEL LANE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MURRAY FORD IN STARKE, FLORIDA. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL UNIT FAILED. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE PART WAS NOT READILY AVAILABLE, AND THERE WOULD BE A LONG TIME DELAY, FOUR MONTHS, BEFORE A NEW ONE IS AVAILABLE. I BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE THAT PART MUST BE FAILING AT A SIGNIFICANT RATE, AND MAY REQUIRE AN INVESTIGATION. *TR
