How are the new Ford diesel engines?

Thanks for all of the replies. I traded my Ram 2500 in on a Chevy 1/2 ton last year and I haven't been keeping up with diesel engines on the forums. The 1/2 ton doesn't meet my needs and I need to go back to a 3/4 ton. It sounds like most on here would recommend that I go back with a Ram or Chevy. Is that true? Would either be a good choice?

I can't speak for anybody else but I'm not saying what to buy.

You asked how the 6.7's are and I pointed out they are having some problems and told you about those problems and even gave you several links to those problems.

I'm sure you will get lots of people saying their 6.7 has no problems. That's all good except just because they had no problems does not mean there are no problems. Case in point; I have had no problems with my 5.7 Olds diesel; the worst diesel ever manufactured. There are some that even to this day that think the 6.0 was a great engine. Funny thing is, even Ford disagrees with them.

The best thing to do is go on different forums and see what the common problems are.

First go on this forum and look for common problems.

Then go on this forum and look for common problems.

Go back 5, 10, 15 pages or so and look at the difference in problems between the two forums. I think you will be able to tell the difference immediately in the problems people post between the two forums.

...an excellent post. The Blue KoolAid Boy's are all guy's just like me before the "Shameful Ford Event". All one has to do is take a look at my story and they should be very concerned about the potential for the same sort of treatment from Ford. I do not care who you are or how long you have driven the Blue Oval, you will not fare any better than we did if you have a problem.

A short recap of the "Shameful Event". How about being a family that has had nothing but Ford's in their driveway for over 60 years. Two generations of engineers in the family working for Ford. One family member currently a very high level manager at a Ford facility. A truck with a meticulously kept record of all services performed at a ford dealership. The final conclusion of the dealership that eventually fixed the truck was it should be warrantied. If that list of document-able positives for Ford to chew on did not result in a warranty repair, what chance does anyone else have against the big Blue Oval when it comes to a warranty fight...the simple answer is none...

I would have a nice bit of money to spend if I had a dollar for every documented sale I scuttled because I stood up and fought this travesty as I did...and had Ford fixed my truck like they should have, they would have another $8 million in sales...sure looks like they made a good choice...

I am well aware that there are many here that would like me to go away. One Ford board decided that I caused too much dissension and asked me to stay away. Another Ford board just deleted whatever I wrote...even though it was true...but one thing I never did when I distributed the evil Blue mix was go looking for problems with other brands to make my points seem more poignant
