Ford Powerstroke
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.

According to the Cummins forum, the death wobble is also an issue with the Ram trucks.
Seems it isn't just a ford problem, my new Ram so far has no issues , not yet that is. :)
