Some Ford F-250 Super Duty owners report experiencing a sudden loss of power while driving, often linked to rough idling and a lack of throttle response. This significant power loss may manifest as the need to fully depress the accelerator pedal to achieve any acceleration. Additionally, engine stalling while decelerating or coming to a stop is a common complaint, which may be caused by misfires related to engine timing issues. Owners also report feeling vibrations that could stem from these misfires or other engine problems, particularly when the RPM fluctuates around 800 and drops to 500 or lower. To diagnose these concerns, some owners utilize the truck's onboard ECU to identify recorded issues and employ an OBD scanner for error codes. It is advisable for those facing persistent symptoms to consult a qualified mechanic for a comprehensive inspection to address the underlying causes of these issues.
