The medium-duty version of the Ford F-Series is a range of commercial trucks manufactured by Ford Motor Company since 1948. Derived from the smaller F-Series pickup trucks, the medium-duty range is currently in its eighth generation. Initially slotted between the F-Series pickup trucks and the "Big Job" conventionals, later generations were slotted below the L-Series "Louisville" trucks; the last two generations are the largest vehicles produced by Ford since its exit from the heavy-truck segment.

The medium-duty F-Series has been used for an extensive number of applications, offered as a straight (rigid) truck and a truck-tractor (for semitrailers) in multiple cab configurations. Prior to the production of the Ford C-Series, the model line was also offered in a cab-over engine (COE) configuration; a cowled-chassis variant (the Ford B-series) was used for bus production.

For the 2000 model year, the medium-duty F-Series has been branded as part of the Ford Super Duty range, consisting of the Class 6–7 Ford F-650 and F-750; Class 8 versions of the F-750 have been produced since 2011. The current generation of the medium-duty F-Series is manufactured by Ford in its Ohio Assembly facility (Avon Lake, Ohio), replacing a joint venture with Navistar International named Blue Diamond Truck Company LLC located in General Escobedo, Mexico.

Common 2007 Ford F-650 sd problems

The 2007 Ford F-650 SD has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners. Here are some of the most frequent issues:

Aftermarket Parts and Accessories: Aftermarket components, such as alarms, exhaust systems, or other accessories, can cause issues if not installed correctly. They can drain the battery, trigger the check engine light, or even prevent the car from starting. It's recommended to use OEM components or have a professional install aftermarket parts to avoid these problems.

Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) Failure: The mass airflow sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine to determine the appropriate amount of fuel needed for efficient operation. A faulty MAF sensor can cause issues like trouble starting, rough idling, or a sudden quick change in the position of the throttle pedal.

Check Engine Light Flashing: A flashing check engine light indicates a severe problem that requires immediate attention. This issue is often caused by a severe engine misfire, which can cause unburned fuel to enter the exhaust system and potentially damage the catalytic converter. Common causes include faulty spark plugs, spark plug wires, or ignition coils.

Faulty Gas Cap: A loose, damaged, or missing gas cap can cause several issues. The gas cap prevents dangerous gas fumes from being released when the vehicle is not in use, seals the fuel system, and helps maintain pressure within the fuel tank. A broken gas cap can lead to fuel leaks, reduced fuel efficiency, and difficulty starting the engine.

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Software Issues: Certain model year 2011-2015 Ford F-350, F-450, and F-550 trucks equipped with ambulance or fire engine preparation packages may detect an incorrect Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (EGT) fault, causing the engine management system to shut down the engine and prevent its immediate restart. This issue is caused by a problem with the PCM software, which can be fixed with a software update.

Brake Shift Interlock Switch Problem: Model year 2011 F-150 vehicles and model year 2012 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 heavy-duty vehicles may have a faulty brake shift interlock switch. This issue can allow the transmission to be shifted out of the park position without pressing the brake pedal, posing a risk of unintended vehicle movement.

Exhaust Sensor Problem: Model year 2011-2012 F-350/450/550 Ambulance Package vehicles equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine may experience loss of power followed by an engine stall due to an exhaust sensor problem. This issue can be resolved by replacing the exhaust gas temperature sensor.

These common problems with the 2007 Ford F-650 SD are based on complaints from owners and may not represent all potential issues with the vehicle. It's essential to keep up with regular maintenance and address any issues promptly to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the vehicle.
