The 6.7L Ford is a good truck overall; it was the HPFP failures and future repair costs due to the complexity of the engine that kept me from buying one. I intend on keeping my truck for 20 plus years so long term reliability and repair costs were a very important consideration for me.
Good luck and please let us know how it works out!
Yep the F350/250 6.7 and 6 spd is pretty much bullet proof
