2015 ford 6.7 Turbo
I was doing some Saturday afternoon reading and came across an article that was talking about the improvements they made for the 6.7... Larger Turbo... Improved fuel pump and injectors.. And improved ...
Forum Discussion
This discussion reminds me of the problems Goodyear was having with their G614 tires back in the 2009-2010 time frame. There were those who were adamant that they were blowing right and left and pointed to a lengthy Escapees discussion on the project. So I took up the project and examined that discussion and here's what I found:
"I did research the G614 and they are having problems with blow outs, there is a very long thread on the escapees forum. The good thing is Goodyear stands behind their tires and pays for the damage. I would rather avoid the damage. I did a check on that long Excapees post -- 20 pages, 286 posts ( I may have missed a couple), 9 individual posters had problems with the G614s, some multiple, 5 did not have problems. So while it appears as a long post on the problems with G614s there were not that many individuals reporting problems. Some of the posts were reporting problems on 15 and 16 inch E rated tires. The rest of the posts discussed the problems that could cause blowouts and tread separation, the benefits of different brands, etc. There was even a poster who had problems with a 17.5. I don't deny that there have been problems with the G614s but I would consider replacing mine with another set when it comes time. I have the G614s with a build date of early 05 (don't remember exact date) on my Cameo with over 33,000 miles and haven't had any problems. In fact I had a nail in one of mine that didn't penetrate the steel tread -- it was bent over. To be safe that tire is now my spare. And yes -- I'm bored today."
I am tempted to do the same with this discussion but it will take some time.
Upon an initial review I noticed one poster with many problems was talking about chassis/cab models which have a different power rating, 300/660 instead of the 400/800. Do the chassis cabs have a different turbo?
