2006 Ford chassis under class A motor home. While driving my temp gauge spikes as if I over heated.. I pull over turn the engine off then on and I am ok for a couple hours. I also lose power.

Joe, the v10 is designed to go into a limp mode (power reduction) when it overheats and eventually shut down to prevent engine damage. It sounds as if you may have a problem with your cooling system, i.e., stuck thermostat or other. When you pull over, did you check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir? There was a problem with some earlier model v10's with the radiator hose clamps that would break and dump the coolant. You need to have it checked out at a Ford facility to determine what's causing your overheating and power loss.

I just got off the phone withFord. There is a service bulletin for a cylinder head temp sensor. All the symptoms. Now I need to find a dealer first thing in the AM. According to Ford when I turn the engine off it resets. Cant be doing this for 3000 miles.

jsede, sounds like you have the mystery solved, good to hear it's only a faulty temp sensor causing the problem, thanks for the feed back.

I bumped the post on the false overheating. Sounds like the Ford folks you talked to know about it.

I got to Larry Miller Ford on Monday. Once the rig cooled down the repairs were done and I was on the road. Ford came through.

Did you get the check engine light with the P1299 code? I had similar incident a couple of weeks ago. Where is the cylinder head temp sensor (is it on both heads, and where) and how hard is it to replace? Thanks, Bill 2006 Damon Daybreak 3272 w/F-53 @ V10 |
