Wow I thought the 6.7 were a decent motor. What kind of problems?
Turbo problems. (Lots of them)
More on the turbo problems
Valves falling off of their stems. (There is a TSB for this)
Glow plugs falling off into the cylinders blowing up the engine. (There is a TSB for this)
High pressure fuel pump failure (About 15 grand to fix.)
There are other problems with this engine, but the above are the big ones.
All that being said, Ford fixed a lot of stuff on this engine after 2014. They killed off the turbo problems cold with a single wheel turbo like everybody else runs. Bosch seems to have fixed the HPFP for the most part. The glow plug problems were only in the early 6.7's.
It's early but the 15 on up engines seem to be good engines and drive trains.
