Hello everyone I am considering purchasing a 2014 F250 CC w/powerstroke 6.7l, anyone have any experience or knowledge about this engine or year? I will be towing a fifth wheel (yet to be purchased) ...

I have the 2011 F350 cc, lb, drw, Lariat edition. No problem with the engine, just a death wobble when I cross R/R tracks, had steering shock replaced and now it is back again. Went to a off road store and they stated it will cost $850.00 to cure the problem, Will invest in the cure in Marck.
I had the same problem with my previous vehicle, a 2011 F350 drw King Ranch dually.
I do think part of the problem was I was running the front tires under-inflated. Shoot, they were at the 55PSI point they were at the day I bought it.
Ran them up to 75 PSI and cupping, tire wear issues went away and they didn't do the death wobble anymore.
I can understand the price to fix the death wobble if what the fellow who runs the Powerstrokehelp.com site is correct on his theory.
Here a link to a video he made. In synopsis, his idea is that the factory caster setting is not sufficient. He moved it from 1 degree to 3 degree caster and claims to have solved the death wobble problem.
