Re: Thinking about purchasing a 2013 6.7 Powerstroke Diesel
Well, I do agree with the comment that doing the maintenance is not necessarily a prescription for a trouble free truck,but you can have problems with any of these new trucks with all the emission garbage they put on! I am planning on buying a Ford extended warranty to hopefully CMA!!!! You never know anyone of us could buy anything new from the 3 automakers and buy a Lemon!!438Views0likes0CommentsRe: Thinking about purchasing a 2013 6.7 Powerstroke Diesel
Thanks for all the replies, I feel alot better knowing that if I buy a new Ford F350 6.7 Diesel it will be trouble free as long as you do the required maintenance!There a too many things on the net that will drive you crazy,doesn't mean it's all true! I have an update, the Dealer found me a 2013 Truck F350 6.7 diesel c/c S/bed 4x4 with snow plow prep package&camper package 3.55 locking diff . I think that will be more than enough to cover the extra pin weight of my 5er! Also give a newby a break on his first mistake!437Views0likes0CommentsThinking about purchasing a 2013 6.7 Powerstroke Diesel
I'looking at buying a leftover 2013 fORD f350 superduty crewcab 4X4 shortbed 6.7dieselTO tow my 2010 Cougar 5thwheel 327 RES weighing fully loaded 12K. Myold truck was a 2002 7.3 F250 diesel which I loved to death& it handled the load well ,but it was time to move up. I've been reading nothing but problems from all 3 automakers with emission issues due to the regeneration system& on these diesels causing clogged dpf filters.I don't think any of thesetrucks have a head up over another with the new emission laws. I live in Ohio where we have to get inspections every 2 yrs so def delete is not an option at this point. I KNOW A 6.2LT GAS IS CAPABLE WITH THE RIGHT GEARING,OBVIOUSLY LESS TORQUE & FUEL ECONOMY, BUT I DIDN'T PAY $8500 EXTRA EITHER. Am I making a mistake by buying the diesel in these trying emission times??? I DROVE THE FORD TRUCKWITH THE 6.7 & LOVED THE POWER & 3.55 ELECTRIC LOCKING AXLE. IS THE GAS A BETTER CHOICE WITH THE HIGHER MAINTENCE THESE DAYS?? I USUALLY DO BASIC THINGS MYSELF OIL CHANGES,FUEL FILTER ETC. LET ME KNOW GUYS IF YOU CURRENTLY OWN A 6.7 AS TO YOUR OPINION AND IF YOU'VE HAD ANY PROBLEMS OF ANY SORT. I hope I'm not going to regret selling my7.3 DIESEL!! YOUR OPINIONS ARE WELCOME! I did also drive the RAM 2500 6.7 CUMMINS, liked it but was also concerned about above the frame issues, electrical etc., THE NEW 2015 CHEVY/GMC ISN'T OUT UNTIL SPRING WITH THE SAME PROVEN DURAMAX UNDER HP&TORQUE COMPARED TO THE OTHER 2. YOUR OPINIONS& THANKS!6.5KViews0likes32Comments
