Op,
I have a '12 6.7PSD with 159k miles and the engine hasn't been touched to date except for the serpentine belt replaced this year. Having said that I would stay away from a 6.7PSD that was built before 4/10. Otherwise I'm sure he'll enjoy years of reliable service.

Is this over amplification Troy?

OP just listen what Bill says the "common" problems were with this engine between .23 and 1 minute. Note common is in quotes. He said it, not me. I'm just agreeing with him.

Fish do you disagree with an expert who does this for a living? Really? :R I think it funny this truck is out of TX. Could it be someone you know Troy? :B "valve problems; we've seen this over and over." (just like I've said)

I think Bill knows just a little bit more about Ford diesels than both me or you. He makes a very good living at fixing them.

BTW I remember when you used to say the 6.0 was a good engine. Then the 6.4 and now the 6.7. How did that recommending the 6.0 or the 6.4 work out for you? :B What you say now about he 6.0 or the 6.4? :B

In closing; all you experts and fan boi's out there that know a lot more about these engines than Bill does feel free to call him at (770) 931-4070 and tell him he is wrong. Be sure to record it because I would love to hear this. :B

That said, I have two friends with pre 2015 trucks that both have had the radiator replaced. One has had a turbo.

All vehicles have potential problems. I just replaced the power steering pump and the fuel pump on my '12 Cummins.

Look hard enough, and you will find "common issues" with everything.

Not exactly true.

For instance: Will the CP4 ever fail in "your" engine and shrapnel your whole fuel system to the tune of 15+ grand?

Will a glow plug ever brake off on your Cummins and blow the whole engine up?

Yes or no?

I don't think so. I'm talking catastrophic problems. Like when a glow plug breaks off that is a catastrophic problem. When a CP4 pump lets go; that's a BIG catastrophic problem. When a valve head pops off it will cause you 20 grand+ for a new engine. All of these were common for 2014 down 6.7's no matter what the fan boi's say.

I'm not talking clogged turbos or oil leaks here. I'm talking big problems that will ruin your day for a long time.

Like I said. I will let the OP make up his own mind after a little reading. If he thinks all is good after a little reading, so be it.

BTW, I would caution the same thing about buying a first gen D-max with stock injectors. I've done it on here before. They will go out and cost you 5 grand to find out. I guess that makes me a GM hater too? :R

I had a 2011 f350 diesel. It was my first Ford and I was very impressed. The wastegate made a ticking noise within the first couple days of new and so the turbo was changed under warranty. I put about 100,000 trouble free miles on it before trading it for a 2016. I would expect he could find a 2015 for not a whole lot more money which is what I would do if I was looking for a used truck.

In case anyone doesn't know, I am not a "Ford guy".

I edited this so I didn't stoop to your level.... Not worth engaging..

Have a great night

LMAO, this coming from a "Ford truck guy" LOL.

OP why don't you do some reading from the links below and make up your own mind? BTW, Ford made a ton of changes to the 2015 up engine. It costs a lot of money for manufactures to make changes. That tells you a lot right there.

Turbo, after turbo after turbo. This ^^^^ is the exact reason the 15^ 6.7 went with a completely different turbo.


We will all join the radiator club.


This is why the radiators fail. Go to around 12:30.



CP4 pump failure. 15 grand + anybody?



Glow Plugs make the engine go boom!



Crack, crack, crack go the 6.7 valves.



Boom go the engine when the valve head pops off.

After reading all the links provided OP, I will let you decide who knows what they are talking about. This is just a small sample. Just Google 6.7 powerstroke problems and see what "common" problems pop up. This is why I recommend a 15+ if you want a Ford diesel. Or the great old 7.3. That was a very good engine. The 6.2 gas engine he has is also a great engine.

I actually owned one, 2012, and had no issues. Pulled a fiver close to 16K through the mountains of Tn. and NC with no problems. Sounds like you have found a good deal on one.

Yep, complete BS coming from TnP again with NO direct experience with the vehicle, just spouting off info he read about and is trying to support his agenda again.
