Interesting topic is when there was a reported Duramax failure on this site recently, your presence on that thread was crickets.

The glow plug theory came from the fact that Ford issued a TSB that called for removing a glow plug to check for damage. Under certain engine performance problems a broken valve can be quickly found because that will destroy a glow plug. It is not a glow plug issue, it is a valve issue on vehicles built before 3/29/2011. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Op,
I have a '12 6.7PSD with 159k miles and the engine hasn't been touched to date except for the serpentine belt replaced this year. Having said that I would stay away from a 6.7PSD that was built before 4/10. Otherwise I'm sure he'll enjoy years of reliable service.
Is this over amplification Troy?
OP just listen what Bill says the "common" problems were with this engine between .23 and 1 minute. Note common is in quotes. He said it, not me. I'm just agreeing with him.
Fish do you disagree with an expert who does this for a living? Really? :R I think it funny this truck is out of TX. Could it be someone you know Troy? :B "valve problems; we've seen this over and over." (just like I've said)
I think Bill knows just a little bit more about Ford diesels than both me or you. He makes a very good living at fixing them.
BTW I remember when you used to say the 6.0 was a good engine. Then the 6.4 and now the 6.7. How did that recommending the 6.0 or the 6.4 work out for you? :B What you say now about he 6.0 or the 6.4? :B
In closing; all you experts and fan boi's out there that know a lot more about these engines than Bill does feel free to call him at (770) 931-4070 and tell him he is wrong. Be sure to record it because I would love to hear this. :B

In case anyone doesn't know, I am not a "Ford guy".
That said, I have two friends with pre 2015 trucks that both have had the radiator replaced. One has had a turbo.
All vehicles have potential problems. I just replaced the power steering pump and the fuel pump on my '12 Cummins.
Look hard enough, and you will find "common issues" with everything.
