My SuperDuty 6.7 had a birthday

[brooks379]

I bought my 2014 F350 6.7 powerstroke 4x4 long bed crew cab Ford pickup in March of 2014 brand new. . I’ve owned a few 7.3’ s but this truck is as good as it gets !! I hit a bale of hay on the interstate once and took it to Ford to have them replace the tracking bar. I change the oil and filters myself and had the tranny fluid changed and at 149,000 miles it hasn’t given me the first problem.

I had the track bar replaced and had a crank filter changed and that has been the only times in 5 years it’s ever been in a shop. I pull a travel trailer with it, a 4 horse trailer, a equipment trailer and do what ever I need to do with it, it starts up at below zero like it’s a summer day. I’ve given an update every year since new .... Morel of the story....... 6.7 diesel and Ford F-350 Super Duty have been AWESOME !!

It may sound crazy, but I actually enjoy changing the oil. :B

Same here! I do a lot of fluid and filters every 15k.

Congratulations! Very nice to hear. :B

Congrats on the truck... Mine is going to be 7 years in May and currently have 165k miles. Historically I trade my trucks in at 6-7 years, but I love this truck so I plan on keeping it for some time longer and I might as well since it's not costing me much to still own it.

I can probably count the number of days on two hands that this truck doesn't get used per year.

Same here! Our F350 6.7 DRW turned 7 last September of 2018 and has 35K miles! Pulls like a charm and is a great weekend driver.

Thanks for the report. Having had 7.3s your opinion means more.

2 7.3's 1 6.0 and a 2015 F350 like brookes379 and it out pulls any of the others. No wait to start, I was shocked, easy starts @ 20 degrees. Absolutely the best truck I have ever owned and it rarely is out without a 13K 5W. Integrated brakes are excellent, exhaust brake does what is is supposed to 80,000 Never been back except one emissions recall.

I don't think he said he changed it at 149K. just that he had it changed instead of doing it himself.

149K on the slush box is pushing it. I change my fluid and filter every 25K.
