I posted a thread just under a week ago asking some questions about purchasing a F350 w/ 6.7 diesel. It turned out that was a good deal and someone scooped it before I even had a chance to see it. So I have my dealer looking around for others. He called me with an interesting option and I was looking for pros and cons. He has found an 2011 F350 Lariat/FX4. It had engine issues. They are offering to pick it up, replace the motor with a brand new 2016 6.7 and then sell it to me. It would come with their standard 90 day used vehicle warranty but the motor since brand new would have 2 yr, unlimited mileage full warranty. Just looking for thoughts on whether this is a good option if the price is right (which it is) and if there are pros and cons folks can think of. Also, are there items that I should ask that they replace at the same time as the motor since I would expect I would not have to pay labour since they are already ripping into it. Thanks

I would be very surprised if indeed was a 2016 motor band new. When I had my '03 6.0, Ford replaced the motor at 32K w/a re-man. Wouldn't put a brand new one in cause they said " we can't put a brand new engine in a used truck". Needless to say, the re-man ran for 130K miles till I got rid of truck (160k). Don't know how you could verify if motor they put in is in fact a brand new never been used motor.

What price are they offering it at and how many miles on the rest of the truck?

I wouldn't touch this deal with a 10 foot pole; but that's me.Here is what I would do if I were you:#1. Ask if this "new" engine comes with the updated valves that don't fall off into the combustion chamber.#2. Ask if this "new" engine comes with updated glowplugs that don't fall off into the combustion chamber.#3. Ask if this "new" engine comes with the 15+ single wheel turbo or if it comes with the fly apart 14 down turbo.#4. Ask what happen to the old motor.Get everything in writing. And I do mean everything! Pull an Oasis report and see what other things happened to that truck.Good luck.

There are huge discounts on 2016 F250/350's right now. I just bought one and it had 14,800 discount. Ford is making way for the 2017's.

Putting a brand new engine in a 2011 truck ? Truck is 5 model years, close to 6 model years old. I believe new motors from the factory (where else could a new motor come from) are extremely expensive.As other have said, I could see putting a reman engine of more likely an older engine that came from a salvage yard in a 5 -6 year old truck, but not a brand new engine from the factory. Too costly I would think to do and also what kind of profit could be made doing this ?Anyone know what a brand new Ford truck engine costs ?

Price isn't firm yet, but the thought is that it will be in the $31-32k Canadian. Forgot to put the mileage, but the rest of the truck has about 180,000km.

Thanks for the info. I have asked them to confirm that its brand new and not a rebuild. Will see what they say.

15 to 20K depending on what you want/need on it. :E The fuel system alone is over 12K now. :E
