Ford trucks are notorious for having need of filters added to the in tank
fuel pump and possibly at the computer.  There is a service bulletin, he may
have to go back a few years.

Ask dealer to contact the regional or National RFI people at Ford.
There is a company here who makes filters for Ford trucks bought by state of
TX so that they can install mobile radios.  Ferrite filters at the connector
to fuel tank pump and ferrite on leads from the computer should do the
trick.

There is a ham in a neighboring club who does the work and designs filters.
His name is Brad Rehm, although I don't have his call with me.  Look in
QRZ.com and see either a Georgetown TX adr. for him or maybe one of the
other Williamson Co. cities.  I think he moved out of Georgetown itself.
