12stroker · Feb 27, 2013

Well my coworker was driving our f250 today and the message popped up and reduced engine speed and the engine turned off we towed it to the dealer right now to see what they say. Has anyone else's do this before?

stock or tuned?
was it out of def?
i have seen this happen when the urea pump failed.

My 6.4 did that when the truck was in Regen and the dpf would overheat. The dpf was messed up and dpf deletes weren't around yet

Its on a stock truck we cant tune our company trucks.

They just told us it wont be until tomorrow to check it to see whats wrong. And that they havent seen one do this

Well it was a bad sensor on the exhaust that caused it to do this.

That was a quick fix.

12stroker · Feb 27, 2013

Well it won't be fixed until tomorrow they had a used (good) part to test it with.

I had mine tell me my speed was reduced to 50mph.. Due to exhaust sensor. Needless to say, a few hours later I deleted everything lol

Had one at work do that, It was one of the EGT sensors, it was reading 2800F or something really high.

A bad EXHAUST sensor and it disabled the truck?

4EverBoosted1 · Mar 8, 2013

Yep. Not disabled, but limited to 50mph

OP said his shut off. Either way...that is absolutely ridiculous.

I dont know man.. I would rather it do that if it senses something wrong then let you keep going and destroy a engine... They dont come cheap now days!

4EverBoosted1 · Mar 8, 2013

Well when it's a fault with the emissions equipment/DPF, you are better off deleting it. Because most of the problems on these new engines is caused by this equipment.

I agree there..

Yes I will disable a truck so it won't damage anything... If you let the truck cool down you can fire it up and it sometimes it wont throw the code again. That's what the dealer told us so idk.
