My 2005 f350 has a fuel failure and when i took it to the dealer they said that 5 injectors had failed and i needed they blame it on biofuel, i have only used on road diesel and i have owned this truck since it had 25,000 miles on it. at this point it is $6000 to repair and of course there is no warranty on it. this is a major concern because this truck carries extreme loads at high speeds and a fuel failure at 65 or 70 will cause you to lose power steering and braking ability. when you are carrying a backhoe and have a trailer that weighs 6000lbs the total weight of the whole rig is right at 35,000 pounds. that is enough to take out at least 6 or 7 cars that have stopped in front of you. this needs to be fixed asap. *tr
