Yeah, I watched the power stroke help video on various Ford engines. He really likes the Ford truck itself from the 6.0L years and once he does the bulletproof job, he says that truck is one of the best out there. It probably is up there on reliability with no emissions controls. So he’s either right or a good salesman.
But again just anecdotally, I saw two videos where 2019 Fords with low mileage had the death wobble. One was a factory out of alignment job at like 20000 miles but the other was worn parts at 40000 miles.
Also I saw a 2019 Ram w the normal Cummins where the tranny had failed due to the driver not using tow haul and not locking out the higher gears. I know mine has to be in fifth while towing not sure about the 8 speed. The good think is Ram still stood behind the repair.
I know nothing about the upper comments but I call BS on the last paragraph.
AISIN or 68rfe?
Ahhh well it was the 68rfe and I was as surprised as you. To be fair, they didn’t know the full diagnosis and they were pulling it into the shop when I saw the truck.
Every once in a while someone thinks I’m full of bull malarkey and I might be 50%. Haha. But that story is a true one, unusual to be sure.
Unless they changed things, tow/haul does not lock out the higher gears in the 68RFE. Mine tows in 6th with tow/haul all the time.
