Ford 6.7L Powerstroke V8 Diesel

[ROBM_HORIZONS_F]

Wanted to get some feedback from 6.7L owners. Took a look at a DRW 8 foot bed Extended cab. Looked and sounded good.

Replacing 2006 Silverado 8.1L Allison Crew Cab

Miracles do happen, must have had AMZ/OIL bow to stern. 😉

Ford just bought the truck and they are going to tear it down to see where they went wrong. 😄

Yes, they did buy it.

[FishOnOne]

Don't know what it was used for... Just that the Ford dealer that took it on trade posted it on their facebook page.

Interesting. What was it used for?

Late to the party but I'll offer my opinion just the same.

I owned a 2015 for 17k miles. If you get a good one it's a fantastic engine and truck. Pulls hard, unloaded foot to pedal response is excellent, breaks great, stable as a goat. Now if you get a bad one like I did, it's will bleed you dry or waste a ton of your time getting towed to the shop between the good experiences (or both as was my experience). I dumped mine at a big loss to get back on the road and stay on the road. Miss it every time I tow. Don't miss it every time I actually want to make it to my destination.

Why does that sound like the 6.0

Its called an inferiority complex. According to the Webster dictionary its an acute sense of personal inferiority often resulting either in timidity or through overcompensation in exaggerated aggressiveness.


It helps explain why there's so many other posters commenting on a Ford engine when they drive another brand and why they attack every thread in such numbers and ferocity. But if you sing praises to their personal choice, then they'll accept your arguments as fact. It happens all the time in politics today.

So Troy your comparing an 05 Dmax with a blown head gasket to 2011 on up 6.7's PSD!!

Ooooooookkkkkkkkkkkk.

Why not try and compare an 05 Dmax to an 05 PSD!!! LOL link

But then again you live in an alternate universe where up is down, hot is cold and the 6.0 has better reliability than a Cummins!

Why not? you Fiat boys do it all the time with the 6.0

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?

Here's an cummins with a hole in the block at 5k miles.... Are you suggesting he shouldn't go back to a cummins since it failed at a measly 5k miles?

Please advise... :W

Yep the owner did the smart thing when hearing a strange noise coming from the engine!!
"Told him I would have to post these on the FTE......

Little noisy coming home from the firehouse in the morning, revved it up in the driveway and made a mess of the asphalt. :S
5000 miles"

How long would it take you to change the engine drive belt?

What's an engine drive belt????

All the important stuff on my Cummins 5.9 is gear driven. :B

Serpentine belt for alternator, water pump, power steering pump. I'll probably have mine changed at 150k miles when I have the transmission serviced.

Sure that it also doesn't run the Vacuum pump and the CP4?

I have a serpentine belt also, but only runs AC, alternator and water pump! Injection pump, PS, Vacuum are all gear driven.

I'm 100% positive that the vacuum pump and the HPFP is gear driven. Sorry to disappoint... but to question something so basic does question your knowledge and blind loyalty.

And to add yes I've been a died in the wool GM guy (especially the older GM's) but when it was time to go with a diesel I went with a Ford and haven't looked back due to great liability and durability.
