Ed67 Report post Posted July 16, 2016 Anyone here have experience with this engine? I have an 08 with about 170k and it seems to go into exhaust cleaning mode every couple hundred miles and over the past two weeks another issue arose. We spent the past two weeks at our cabin and took our trailered ranger. While towing up steep grades the temperature light would come on and the temp would redline. I pulled over, shut the truck off, restarted with the temp indicator in normal range. This happened 5-6 times. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More D Report post Posted July 17, 2016 It sounds like the DPF. Is the inside of the exhaust tip clean or black? It should be clean. If it is black the DPF is bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted July 17, 2016 The DPF is my bet too but don't mess around with it and get it fixed. Harley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AverageJoe Report post Posted July 17, 2016 This is very common on the 6.4 and why it is not very popular. I know a guy who succesfully sued ford over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
