What Ford Mafia ?

The ones that insisted that T&P had no idea what he was talking about in regards to the 'perfect' 6.7 Powerstroke.

Bill (and T&P) were one of the early ones giving warnings about the 6.7 Turbo issues...been a few years but it was something about ceramic ball bearings turning to dust in the turbo or something like that...

Yep,6.7 Powerstrokes can kill themselves from either the HPFP self destructing or theTurbo self destructing. Both cost huge money to fix.

I know that Bill is a business man and is in the business of Powerstroke problems...I also think that he provides information to help people make good decisions when it comes to used Powerstrokes.

I love Ford SuperDuty trucks...they are on my short list for my next truck...but only with a Gas motor. Much less drama when you own a gasser. (Gas, oil, spark plugs).

Thanks!

100% correct. I wanted another Super Duty and really had to find a ton of reasons not to buy a 6.7L. Unfortunately it didn`t take long to convince myself and I thank Ricatic for being so up front and honest with his situation. It truly saved me from buying another Powerstroke potential money pit. The other thing that I really got stung with on my 6.0L was extremely poor resale value, which I`m seeing with 6.7L powered trucks in my area now.

The Ford gassers are solid and I too wouldn`t hesitate to buy one if I didn`t pull a 16k fiver and fuel prices weren`t so ridiculous as they are here in Canada. As a matter of fact our newer E-450 cutaway vans are 5.4L equipped and we have a new F-550 with a V-10 on order to replace our nightmare E-450 6.0L. As a side note we recently sent a perfectly good running a 2000 E-450 with a V-10 that was approaching 400k kms with relatively few issues to auction!
