Am I the only one not ignoring the current eco diesel issues? And I’m not talking about the recall! Too many problems that make them unreliable!
No problems with mine. The biggest issue with all diesels are they are being killed by carbon build up from the egr system. Ford is going to have the same issues with their 3.0 V6 also. Just wait and see.
The people that use the Ecodiesel to tow and are not afraid to get into the throttle are not having issues. The ones running the stock tune and running it in the city all the time are having the issues.
This new gen 3.0 seems to be addressing the egr system and is a totally new engine. Looks like 2021 I might be ordering a new truck.

Offroad heavy equipment sees the same thing. When SCR machines are run hard, very few issues. However when run at idle, especially in the Winter then the problems surface. I run my SCR machines at or near capacity and I have yet to have any issues. I did the same with the Tier 4 Interim machines and had zero problems with filter plugging.
