hi grey and welcome to the forums

my understanding is the psds are not part of the recall.

to date the 05s have had a tranny recode or 2 and the coolant chamber relabled...
not much else...
apparently the clamps and screws holding the turbo tubing are frequently replaced for leaks...
mine were even without any leaks...

this site is a good one for info on the psd and keeps a current list of tsb, issues and so on...

often info is here before the recalls are issued. just don't go batty reading all the issues. they are millions of these things on the road so lots of issues come up.


cheers

Hello, Grey, and welcome to the forum.

Go to the Ford.com website and look for recall info. You can put your VIN in there and a list of recalls (if any) will pop up for you. It's not a bad idea to go ahead and check with you dealer also, just to be sure.

Is the switch mounted on the master cylinder itself ? I see what looks like a pressure switch on the MC with 2 wires coming out of it.

Chris, that's what mine looks like. It's on the top of the MC, right in the front.

I just got back from having my recall work done. Easy in, easy out. 45 mins tops.

On a side note I drooled over the 07 F 250's while I was waiting. I found one I liked for 39 k, 11 k more than mine when it was new. I think I'll wait for a decent used one in a year or so.

NEWS FLASH
5 vehciles lost to fire in Huber Hieghts,Ohio(Dayton) Parking Lot.
This massive fire with the lost of 5 vehciles was caused by a 2000 F250 Ford that was on the recall list and not repaired.
I got my recall letter 2 yrs ago from FMCo. If I know about it so does every affected Ford owner and Dealer in the US . THese pple are just sittin on thier hands.
Unplug those Ford cruise controls (plug is on the mastercylinder) till U find out if your vehcile is affected.
Luck to All
