2007 Ford f350? Known issues?
I'm looking at a pretty good deal on this. Runs good, low miles. Any known issues with this model? It's a diesel but I'm not sure the engine size yet, they have to call me back

- Best info video on this series or era Powerstroke I've seen

I'm not a diesel person, but keep up whenever these articles crosses my path - I have an 05 diesel Ford. After noticing high anti-freeze usage with no visible leaks I had an egr delete, new apr studs, 4" exhaust done. $3000.00 later it runs like it should. Luckily I found the anti-freeze use before it did any damage.
- You may want to check online for a Ford Diesel forum. You would probably get a lot of information on one of those sites.

The engine would be a 6.0 PSD. I would recommend getting a OASIS report so you would have some idea what type of warranty repair/s were done at a Ford dealer. The main issue with these trucks is the oil cooler can clog and starve the EGR cooler of coolant and cause all kinds of nasty problems. Also the EGR valve will evently clog and cause some drive ability issues as well. The transmission is about as bullit proof as they come including the rest of the truck. Also look for any tuner or ask if a tuner was used. If so walk.
I don't recommend these trucks with these engines if you're a first time diesel owner.
I had a 05 and traded it in after 7 years and 170k miles with no major issues, except for the pesky EGR valve. My 6.0 truck was a really good truck so you can see where my current truck ended up in my signature.- That's a 6.0 Powerstroke so...it may be more accurate to say it's low priced as opposed to a pretty good deal. Many issues. They can be improved with full bulletproof jobs if you want to spend the money and go through that process. I actually toyed with the idea of doing that very thing because the 6.0 and 6.4 Fords were the only decent deals I could find on used diesels. You can see where I ended up on that idea in my sig.
