I find it interesting that you look at the first page of this post and there are 19 response's to the OP. Of that 19 there are 8 who have had some type of problem (almost 50%)and 4 are engine related not counting the blown hose that would make it 5 or over 25% of those posting have had an engine related problem. At least its just sensors. None of the big 3 are perfect and my Ram has had 5 recalls but none were for the engine. I had a 2003 F250 6.0 that was not a bad truck for 11 years but like many who took a bath on resale I said never another Ford pickup. Between the 2 new Rams I bought and being able to talk 3 others out of buying Fords I feel better knowing I hit Ford for a about a quarter million dollars after they took money out of my pocket. I still think Ford makes a good truck its just not for me.
Very good point and well said. At least Ford looked after the repairs on their dime like they should have.
I agree with you 100% in that I could not get myself to shell out a bunch more of my hard earned $ to buy another Ford after taking such a bath on the last one. Especially when as an owner you get to play Russian roulette with the HPFP. No thanks, although I would still be a sucker for a premium 7.3L/6 speed manual combo.
I also think it is inevitable that the Ford 6.7L trucks will be very expensive to own in years to come when they are out of warranty given that they are so complex.
