Ford F350 2012 - Diesel

Thank you for the input. The Dual exhaust is one large pipe on each side of the truck, but for sure not factory, although it is professional.

I had the 6.4, totally different beast than the 6.7 I know, but went through 3 motors in less than 55000 miles.:M I too am convinced it was the cp4 hpfp that ate them up. Always an injector failure either flooding or depriving a cylinder causing the catastrophic failure. My service records,(oil changes religiously 3500 and fuel filters every other oil change) and draining of the water fuel separator monthly was/were impeccable. I went through the nail biting of worrying about Ford dissecting and possibly denying warranty due to water in that system. No rust, but pitting in mine... Wasn't until 3rd motor that they did a complete replacement of fuel system including rails and tank flush. Warranty paid all expenses, thank God it was under mileage limit for warranty! Who can afford 10-12K repairs? I hope the 6.7 PSD doesn't fail like the International 6.4 did. I looked at the 6.7's and drove many. Amazing truck! Just couldn't do it though... Flame me now and throw the grenades, but I went with Ram that has the cp3... Hope she lasts... Good luck

For those that own the same truck....there are a few reports on the web about vibration if towing as well as not towing? has anyone experienced this?

Also....complaints about no engine brake? Does it come with one and is it effective...or not so much?

Thanks again!

My truck doesn't have any vibrations while driving empty or towing, but I've read some report it during take off while pulling a very heavy load.

These trucks do come with an engine brake, but are not the best performers, but the tranny also helps in this regard. The engine brake and tranny work in unison when the Tow/Haul mode is selected. I live in a relatively flat part of Texas so engine braking is not really used so I can't share first hand experience.

Not really sure what to say about a duel exhaust. Perhaps you confusing the standard duel tail pipe on the passenger side?

Good luck...

The fuel pump issue has already been mentioned, so no need to re-hash that here. However, the pump only gets lubrication from the fuel itself so many owners, including me, added a lubricity additive to each and every tank of fuel. Ford recommends their PM-22A additive.

I previously owned a 2011 Ford F-350 King Ranch dually with the 6.7L diesel. Had really good service from that truck.

The dual exhaust mentioned concerns me though.

Does it indeed have dual exhausts, or just that you see two exhaust pipes coming out the passenger rear side of the vehicle?????

Mine had the two pipes, joined together at the passenger rear. It was factory set up, dual exhaust NOT added to mine.

I just see no reason or advantage on this if the previous owner did add a dual exhaust.

You may wish to get clarification on this part.

As far as vibration, perhaps you are referring to the so called "death wobble".

I had some vibration issues with mine, but found that under inflated front tires were the main culprit there.

I was running them at the 55 PSI that was in them the day I bought it. Found tires to be wearing unevenly and cupping. Plus the occasional vibration on certain types of road pavement.

After reading here, I upped the front tires to 75 PSI and maintained it there. Wear issues and vibration stopped. Guess this was the right thing to do considering how heavy that diesel engine is anyway.

For those that own the same truck....there are a few reports on the web about vibration if towing as well as not towing? has anyone experienced this?

This is Canada, so the prices will be different than the US. The truck has an auxiliary fuel tank that his truck company installed inside the box against the cap, the width of the box. He flips a switch inside and the fuel will transfer into his main fuel tank. I am not sure yet, how all this works yet, but his wife says it's a God send, saves them having to fill up very often. He also has a flip tonneau cover on the truck, when using the 5th, he flips it over a couple of times and stores it above the auxiliary fuel tank. The whole truck looks new, and not a mark on it.
Tires good, has navigation, sunroof, and chrome package. Electric mirrors and heated seats etc. I don't need all these, but the truck has them. He had a Reese manual slider hitch installed and it comes with the truck, the electrical plug is installed and the box is has been coated I think with armour-guard. No accidents and clear title.

His price is $46000.

What say you? Does not appear to be negotiable. This is a private sale, 1 owner vehicle.
I have checked and they have such few of holidays every year and with payments on the 5th and the truck, it just isn't worth it for them at this time because it is not being used and they are paying on it.

Great input from everyone and valuable. Would you know what this truck should be priced at. It is like new and has the FX4 package as well?
Is there a place that I can look online to see what the prices should be?
Is there any place that seniors would post their vehicles for sale, that they no longer drive...perhaps some x-RV's, because I know most really look after their vehicles?

I would ask the dealer to show what they paid for the truck and work from there. Also have a Kelley Blue book print out in hand as a back up.

Seems dealers in this area all use black book (blackbook.com) for establishing values and have links to it on their web sites.NADA always seems to run a little high to me.

For what it is worth, I bought my 2012 F350 King Ranch 6.7 CC FX4 long bed new at the end of the model year for something just over $49,500. Dealer was offering $14,000 off sticker on all Superdutys at the time. Right now they are advertising $13,000 off MSRP.

NADA. Not the gospel, but it will get you very, very close on value.
