The bottom line is this OP.

There are problems with certain engines. Like take for instance the LB7 GM diesel. They WILL have injector failures. Why? Because of the junk Bosch injectors. They are junk! And expensive to replace in this engine. This engine will have this failure because it was a design flaw. If the injectors were not replaced in this engine I would not recommend you buy one used if it had factory injectors in it. Too much of a risk.

The 6.7 Ford from 2011 to 2014 had tons of turbo problems. The turbo WILL fail just like the LB7 injectors did. Why? Because the turbo was a duel wheel design that was JUNK! Ford saw the error of their ways and fixed the turbo with a single wheel design. That ended that problem for ever.

2011 through 2014 also had junk CP4 pumps. This is not only a Ford problem GM put the same JUNK pump on their engines. The thing was GM warranteed their pumps for the most part and Ford did not. This is well documented. Ram did not worry about this because they used the older design pump that was pretty bullet proof.

Along with the other problems I listed above they had bearing problems also. Ford decided to not put bearing retention tangs on the main bearing. Really DUMB move. Although nothing like the amount of turbo failures, they still had a few lower end bearing failures.

People that say they have x amount of miles on Y brand mean nothing. I have over 140,000 miles on a 5.7 diesel with 0 problems. That means nothing because the engines are JUNK plain and simple.

Don't listen to the fan boys on here. Go on any Ford forum and look for failure trends. This will mean more than ANYBODY on here including myself.
