Happened to me yesterday on our way home from a 1 week trip. 250 miles from home, 50 miles from the nearest dealer. 36k miles on the truck. Heard a hissing noise, then a very loud bang; thought it was a tire. Lost power. Idles fine. No engine light or codes. Happened next to a rest area west of Needles, CA on I-40. Was able to get it into the rest area. Ford had it towed to Havasu City, AZ dealer under warranty. Friend drove 250 miles to come get me and the trailer.
Will carry a spare for now on. Looks easy enough to replace if it blows again. After market pipes (I have checked all the ones in this thread) are not legal in California - even if they do nothing to change the performance or smog control. Truck gets a smog inspection every 2 years in California - they would catch it.
Dealer in Havasu City had the part in stock (wonder why). The truck is fixed. Now have to go 330 miles one way to get my truck.
