2000 Ford F-550 sd problems
The Ford Super Duty (also known as the Ford F-Series Super Duty) is a series of heavy-duty pickup trucks produced by the Ford Motor Company since the 1999 model year. Slotted above the consumer-oriented Ford F-150, the Super Duty trucks are an expansion of the Ford F-Series range, from F-250 to the F-600. The F-250 through F-450 are offered as pickup trucks, while the F-350 through F-600 are offered as chassis cabs.
Rather than adapting the lighter-duty F-150 truck for heavier use, Super Duty trucks have been designed as a dedicated variant of the Ford F-Series. The heavier-duty chassis components allow for heavier payloads and towing capabilities. With a GVWR over 8,500 lb (3,900 kg), Super Duty pickups are Class 2 and 3 trucks, while chassis-cab trucks are offered in Classes 3, 4, 5, and 6. The model line also offers Ford Power Stroke V8 diesel engines as an option.
Ford also offers a medium-duty version of the F-Series (F-650 and F-750), which is sometimes branded as the Super Duty, but is another chassis variant. The Super Duty pickup truck also served as the basis for the Ford Excursion full-sized SUV.
The Super Duty trucks and chassis-cabs are assembled at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky, and at Ohio Assembly in Avon Lake, Ohio. Prior to 2016, medium-duty trucks were assembled in Mexico under the Blue Diamond Truck joint venture with Navistar International.

- Summary: SPARK PLUG SPIT OUT, A KNOWN FORD PROBLEM.
ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2014-12-01
- VIN: 1FDAF56F1YE
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 FORD F-550 SD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENGINE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT, THE FUEL TANK WAS ALIGNED, THE FILTERS AND THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 294,731.
SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2013-02-01
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 1FDAF56F1YE
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO SHED LIGHT ON A DEFECTIVE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM DESIGNED BY FORD. THE SYSTEM WILL AFFECT SEVERAL MODEL YEARS OF FORD LIGHT AND MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS. THE PARKING BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY DOES NOT WITHSTAND REGULAR USE IT TENDS TO FALL APART. THE LAST ASSEMBLY INSTALLED IN MY F-500 IS A FORD NEW ASSEMBLY AND HELD UP FOR 18000 MILES, FORD NOW REFUSES TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM HAS CAUSE THIS TRUCK TO ROLL AND HIT PARKED CARS. *JS THE ENTIRE DESIGN IS A FAILURE AS IT CAN NOT SAFELY HOLD THE WEIGHT OF AN EMPTY VEHICLE. MY TRUCK WEIGHS 14000 EMPTY AND IS RATED AT 19000 GVW. THE ASSEMBLY EVEN WHEN ADJUSTED PROPERLY CAN NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE ON AN INCLINE. THE INSIDE THE ROTOR HAT DESIGN FOR PARKING BRAKES IS A COPY FROM THE LIGHT SUV'S FORD PRODUCES. THIS IS NOT AN ADEQUATE DESIGN FOR HEAVIER VEHICLES. THE SURFACE AREA CONTACT OF SHOES TO THE INSIDE OF THE ROTOR HAT IS NOT GREAT ENOUGH TO PRODUCE THE FRICTION NEEDED TO HOLD THE VEHICLE. I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR FORDS IN THE SAME MODEL YEARS. AT 360749 MILES THE ENTIRE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN REBUILT ON THIS SPECIFIC TRUCK. THE SHOES ARE ADJUSTED UP MANUALLY (IT HAS NO SELF ADJUST FEATURE) TIGHT WITH THE ROTOR HAT AND THE SYSTEM WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE ON AN INCLINE. THE SYSTEM WITH NORMAL WEAR BECOMES A GREATER HAZARD AS THE PARK BRAKE SYSTEM WEAKENS QUICKLY. *JS
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2013-01-04
- Components: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: FORD TRUCK BEGAN LOOSING POWER. BECAME UNABLE TO CLIMB HILL AND CONTINUE UP ROAD.

WE MAINTAIN OUR TRUCKS TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY TO PREVENT SUCH A LIFE THREATENING CIRCUMSTANCE. DRIVER CALLED ME FOR HELP. I WAS ABLE TO GO ONLINE AND FIND ENOUGH INFORMATION (KNOWING IT WAS NOT A FILTER OR PUMP OR MAINTENANCE ISSUE I DUG DEEPER) TO DEDUCE THE FUEL TANK HAD DELAMINATED AS LATELY HAS BECOME "COMMON" WITH THESE TRUCKS. UNDER MY ADVICE DRIVER (BEING A MECHANIC) WAS ABLE TO BLOW COMPRESSED AIR FROM A COMPRESSOR HE HAD ON BOARD BACK INTO THE TANK AND TEMPORARILY GET THE TRUCK RUNNING CORRECTLY AND GET BACK CIVILIZATION. TRUCK CLOGGED AGAIN AND HAS BEEN RUN STARVING FOR FUEL FOR HOURS BEFORE IT GOT TO THE HILL. WE ARE COMPLETELY UPSET AT THE PRICE FORD WANTS TO REMEDY AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. THESE TRUCKS ARE USED ALL OVER THIS NATION AS EMERGENCY SERVICE VEHICLES. I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE 3 FOR THAT PURPOSE. I BELIEVE MY 2008 WILDLAND FIRE ENGINE MAY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE (2008 F550) AS THE 2000 F550 PLOW TRUCK I WROTE ABOUT ABOVE. THESE TRUCKS ARE RELIED ON WITH LIVES TO NOT BE BURNED OVER DURING FIRE BURNOUTS AND OPERATIONS. OTHERS OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE ARE AMBULANCES, WRECKERS, ETC. I TALKED TO A FORD TECH AND ALL DEALERS THAT WORK ON THESE HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHY DIDN'T I. MY DRIVERS ARE IN DANGER AND GOOGLE TOLD ME ENOUGH TO GET FORD TECH'S TO TELL ME, AND IT'S MY FINANCIAL LOSS???? PLEASE LOOK INTO THE DELAMINATING TANK ISSUE FOR F550 TRUCKS. $3,000 AND RISK OF STRANDED IN FRONT OF THE FLAMES IN SUMMER AND REMOTE ALASKA FREEZING TEMPS IN WINTER. SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THAT SHOULD BE STAMPED INTO THE DASH IF ITS KNOWN ON THESE EMERGENCY SERVICE TRUCKS.
