I've had no issues from my '15. Lots of power and it pulls my fifth wheel effortlessly. It's also very easy to maintain with how they locate all the filters. I changed both fuel filters and the air filter in 10-15 minutes not too long ago. I'd buy again in a second if I had to.
I just changed my oil and oil filter this afternoon on my Power Stroke. Took all of 20 minutes tops. Nice thing is there's no crazy gimmicks to cap the oil filter, no saran wrap, no removing the air filter tubing non sense. Just a simple unscrew oil filter and drop it into the oil pan like God intended. :B
That's great to hear that Ford made things so easy!!
I heard that since the 6.Oh and 6.4 problem Ford started to make changing engines much easier for the mechanic for the 6.7. Like turbo's that are held onto the engine with 1/4 turn fasteners so when they blow the turbo's are easy to R&R.
The valve covers and heads now come with Dzus fasteners so when the valve heads start falling off of the stems they are not too bad to change out.
The radiators now come with quick disconnects on the hoses so when the radiator takes a dump you can change it on the road. and your vacation is saved.
The glow plugs that fall off into the cylinder are pretty easy to replace, but it will take out the entire engine.
Anyway it's good to see Ford is making things easier for the mechanics and homeowners like you Fish. :B
ROTFLMAO
I think Ford also eliminated almost half the bolts for a cab off repair in 2011 forward MY. Less time means more profit for someone :B
