Well as you can see by my sig I own a 08 6.4 and its had some probs over its 80K miles many of which are towing miles. Well yesterday my freind called me and after 67K miles with all on schedule maintenence and taking well care off, The engine had BLOWN UP!. He is mad, he has had to replace 2 injectors and an engine wireing harness about 2 years ago that cost over 2 grand. so if you think about it the truck cost 37K with 2K in repairs plus all maint at ford,thats over $40K for 67K of unreliable service. He now has an great looking yard ornament with his recent job loss no way to fix it.SAD AINT IT!

It's sad, but not exactly an unknown phenomena. If I had a 6.0 I would sell it.

That being said, it is a 10 year old truck, and I'm gonna guess he's not the original owner....Do you expect Ford to warranty all their vehicles and drivetrains for life?

So FORDLOVER, seems you think this is a new normal for Fords? Aren't diesels suppose to last several hundred thousand miles? And if the new 6.7 starts failing at similar rates that is normal also? Hard to believe anyone would want to buy one, much less own it outside the factory warranty period.

I don't think it's the new normal for Fords, but it's certainly been a track record for Fords post 7.3 Diesel.

But you present your last sentence as if there was an alternative vehicle that came with a guarantee that it will never fail, ever. Sadly that vehicle doesn't exist. If it did, I bet it would sell quite well if anyone could afford it.
