Thanks a lot for the compliments.

I was skeptical too, but my truck has given me no reason not to trust it... so far. I love this truck. And exactly... for every 1 person that has a problem there are probably 99 that don't.


The latest edmonds you are talking about... is that with the 6.7 ford, LML Chevy, and the 6.7 cummins?

If so, I THINK that I have read it.



And as a general comment: Every diesel is going to have it's fair share of problems... especially the newer ones with government regulations. I bought the ford because I got a good deal on it.

I probably would have looked harder for a GM if they would do something about that excuse for a backseat in the crew cabs, but my ford works great for me...

 

Here's the Edmonds article...

And here's an article done by Pickuptrucks.com, also a pretty good and telling article.

Either way, like you said, they are all good trucks really and who buys what will be happy with their decision. Again, nice truck!

 

Nah, I don't know much I guess... I'm just a Ford Technician...

Don't get your knickers knotted man, Im just stating my experiences with that powerplant... I've got die-hard Ford diesel guys that wouldnt trust a 6.4 to go to the end of the driveway and get the paper with... Most of them own the last of the 7.3s... 130K is not an impressive mileage figure for a diesel truck that probably cost 50K or better new. 300-400K is...

I'm glad you have had good luck with yours, I wont deny they are capable of making loads of power... But their longevity is the issue.

 

But the problem with them are mostly being caused by all the emissions crap and he has deleted all that so problem solved
