Well These were in ford f-250 and f-350 trucks (powerstrokes), not the big ones. And I know I read about them and the fact that Ford has a class action lawsuit brought about because of there not being any mention in service manuals referencing the nitrate additive for the cooling system that prevents this, the new manuals are supposed to have this. Most cavitation issues were beyond 100,000 miles and out of warranty. If I can remember to look for the links to where i read this info last year I will post them.

I don't proclaim to be a ford expert. And my comments are to the effect I don't see anyone bashing Fords, or Dodges or any other brand for that matter. Only GM vehicles when every other brand has its issues and Ford has had far more than its share of automatic transmission issues. So has dodge.
