How are the new Ford diesel engines?
Back in 2011 when I bought my Dodge, Ford had just come out with the 6.7L engine. I really liked the look of the F250, but due to the history of engine problems, I was afraid to go with the new engine...

I love how people talk about how great the 7.3 was! I know more than a few diesel techs that put their kids through school working on the 7.3 turds. Maybe the repairs are cheaper, but they are more numerous especially for an engine that seemingly doesn't make enough power to break itself!
The 6.7 is not 100% trouble free with trouble rates less than or equal to its competition. There are a vocal few that would have you believe that it is a time bomb. I don't pay any more attention to somebody with nothing but praise than I do those with nothing but bad to say. The truth is somewhere in the middle.
Agree 100% with this on the 7.3PSD. My father in law has owned 5 of those over the years. Numerous repairs required on all. Not major ones, but that engine was all about mileage!
According to C.R. magazine, the Ford 6.7 gets the best mileage of the diesels by a fairly wide margin.
