here is one more for your viewing pleasure. Comes from YouTube, PowerStroke help guy. He finally gets his hand on a 6.7L Scorpion engine.

Some insightful comments made during the video. He also covers the main bearings, and their lack of keying to hold them in place, as mentioned by a previous poster.

Good god this video is an eye opener. The 6.7L is a definite improvement over the 6.0L and 6.4L but still a lot of inherent design issues. I think my jaw dropped when he stated that Ford fixed the front cover design by making it leak coolant externally rather than internally when cavitation wears through the cover. How about fixing the cavitation problem to begin with? This type of thing is exactly why I did not buy another Ford; buy a truck with inherent design issues. Maybe they will rear their ugly head while the truck is on warranty and you can go and fight with Ford about getting warranty coverage. OR, maybe they will rear their ugly head after the warranty is up and the owner is on the hook for a big repair bill. No thank you.

Thanks for the video; I am feeling even better about my choice to buy the Cummins now!

You my friend are the blind leading the blind... How do you know Ford has a cavitation problem with the water pumps on the 6.7 PSD? Because Bill said so? :S

Enjoy your tractor engine... :W (According to Gale Banks and not me!)

You keep saying that! I am proud to have owned three "tractor engines". The same engine that broke the land speed record in a Dakota known as the Banks Sidewinder.

Same engines that power large gen sets running 24/7 and large boats and motorhomes and let's not forget what is the ONLY DIESEL found in the F650/750 thru the model year 2015....CUMMINS!

I thought you once said racing isn't important to you! Which is it?

Also Ford ditched the cummins in the F650/F750!

Not until the 2016 MY. They got tired of me reminding everyone of this interesting fact.

There is a difference between racing and speed!

I enjoy cruising with my RAM Dually at 104mph on occasion at 2,300 rpm's. The speed limiter kicks in at that point. :)
