1999 Ford F250 Super Duty Reviews - Page 2 of 2

At around 70,000 I had to replace the battery. However, if you buy this truck at a Ford dealer I would recommend to buy the extended warranty. With the battery going out, the warranty paid for the free towing and diagnosis of the truck. All I paid for was the battery.

This truck does however go through lots of oil. I also recommend paying attention to the routine maintenance that needs to be done. When you over extend the time needed for a tune-up the gas mileage goes down hill.

Replaced glow plug controller twice.

This truck has been trouble free, the first set of tires lasted almost 80,000 mile and it still has the original brakes (still look good). It rides good, handles great, and is very comfortable.

Front ball joints replaced at 60,000 miles.

Front coolant pipe to bottom radiator hose leak at 80,000 miles.

Camshaft sensor bad at 90,000 miles resulted in "no start" condition out on job-site.

Passenger side fuel line to back of cylinder head leak at 119,000 miles=no recall yet? Other trucks (2) have had same problems.

Turbo pipe to inter-cooler replaced at 120,000 miles due to chafing with wires.

These are tough yet powerful trucks that can haul.

Common problematic items are readily accessible such as camshaft sensors, fuel pumps, etc.

Not built for those who have McDonald's budgets. These trucks are pricey when things break, just wait till you replace rear brake rotors.

Carry lots of engine oil, these trucks are rather thirsty.

Not a Thing!! (it's a FORD)

I'm not lying.

Very reliable.

We had to upgrade to a 250 after the 1992 F-150 with a 302 wouldn't pull our new fifth wheel we had purchased. We took the truck for a test drive a easily noticed the power difference, there was NO CONTEST. Even the CHEVEY'S weren't that good. The 5.4L V8 (330c.i) gas motor a had plenty pf towing torque, we could easily do 140 KM/H towing our 11,000 lbs. trailer. With the crew cab (4 door) model there is just as much or more room as a mid-sized sedan.
