Need help! 12 F350

[bigaF250]

Our 2012 f350 has started throwing fits. When in regen, climbing a hill and once up the hill the turbo will start to surge the the whole truck starts jumping around and knocking pretty good. Almost like a bad injector and turbo both. Any ideas? Local Ford dealer says they can't do anything either until catastrophic failure or until I can replicate the problem with them in the truck. This shop is an absolute nightmare to deal with by the way

Oh boy. Ya it only does it randomly. No, never any additives. I guess just run it till it blows up and then let them figure it out from there.

Well if it has no codes and can't duplicate the problem how do you know what's wrong. You can only throw so many parts on while under warranty before Ford starts watching it closer.

Youre welcome. Hopefully they can get you all squared away. Keep us posted if it was in fact a valve issue. Would be interesting to hear more or see some pictures if it is that.
