Ford 6.7 with spun connecting rod bearing
Hello to all, I am new to this forum. I own a 2015 F-250 with the 6.7. I was in the process of hooking the truck to my 5th wheel (April 15th) for a spring break trip when the truck started to shutter...

I've heard of very few rod bearings going out on these engines. It does happen but it's rare.
Main bearings are a different story. The main bearing was not common for sure but I also would not call it rare either. The reason for the main bearing failure is the way they designed the early engines. The early engines are a tangless design which is the epidemy of stupidity.
They just relied on bearing crush to do the job. I heard the later engines went back to a tang for good reason.
In any event, good luck with this deal because it's not going to be cheap.
