OK...my turn. I had a 2011 F250 6.7L Power Stroke. Bought it in Feb of 2011 and put 48k miles on it. Coming home from a camping trip a few weeks ago, the engine started knocking. Had it towed to my dealer and after tear down, it spun 2 rod bearings. Engine was replaced under warranty and I was back in business within a week. I did trade the truck after I got it back from the engine replacement though. I traded because we were overweight while towing. I now have a 2016 F350 DRW 6.7L Power Stroke. I loved my 2011 and judging by what I've read, will love the 2016 even more with the upgraded turbo and engine braking.

That being said, there have been a few comments on cab removal for the new trucks...that is FALSE!! The cab never came off of my truck. Engine is removed through the front, similar to the older 7.3L trucks.

The engine issues with the 6.7L have been primarily with early build trucks. My 2011 was built in August 2010. There have been broken crank shafts, dropped valves, turbo issues(cab and chassis) and glow plugs coming apart. The tech I talked to said this was the first time they have ever heard of them with a spun bearing.

I know, I just gave the Dodge fanboys more ammo, but I feel that my experience was an exception. I am confident in these trucks, that's why I bought another one. So far, for the most part, they have been excellent trucks.

:h:S

Wow, Blue Kool-Ade at full potency, 48 K and engine failure! Please give me another sir!!!

I was a true Blue Ford man for 45 years, did get DD a 19?? Dasher Diesel in that time period, but True Blue. Then I needed to get a better TV, my choice was a Cummins engine, darn Doge wrapper. Well both have exceed my expectations!
Our Ram 2500 pulls/carries our 12,360# 5er like a champ!
Currently, at 292,500 miles, you can see how my engine is doing in the "Ram 3500 Oil Change thread" in Tow vehicles , early and current oil analysis, still doing well. Likely will take this rig to 500,00 k.

I just don't understand one that will go back to a TV that filed then at such low mileage?
