Are the Ford 6.7L really as good as they say?

[JakeGraves]

I have a 12 with 150k on it. I have had it in the shop once for egr sensors. It has pulled heavy trailers for 60k miles easy.

I have a 2011 F-250 and it has been a good one. I did change the EGR sensors out at 107,000 miles. I now have right at 162,000 on it. I have not had any problems with my fuel or DPT. The book says you should change the fuel filters out every 22,000 miles but I change mine somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 miles.

I think Maintenance is the key. I have a new 6.7 and I change all the filters and fluid at the same time. Either when the truck says to or at 10,000 miles. Whichever comes first.

I wouldn't touch that with a 40ft pole.

My brother just bought a 2012 w/ 59k miles. That think is a beast. Somebody said they wouldn't call them a beast....I don't know what that person's been driving but or expects for a stock truck, but it was VERY strong when I drove it for a couple of days. My next truck will likely be similar to his. It was an awesome rude IMHO

2011 had turbo issues as well.

Before you buy a truck you may want to see what is actually available as far as deletes. Many of the companies that used to do it have stopped. EPA got deep in that *** pocket.

The tuners have come a long way though as far as cleaning up the tunes. This in turn has helped save the DPF's and prolonged their life expectancy.

What ever you do.....Do some home work.

Yes they are a beast! We have over 60 of them in our company. The only major problems we have is the DPF filter being stopped and truck not being able to regen like it's supposed to. You can put a tuner and strait exhaust on and that problem goes away...... Then she becomes a REAL beast!

Same here. Have had 3 personal trucks with that engine and quite a few company trucks. Excellent engine.

Most complaining I hear is from Dodge owners with large mirrors that wish the had bought the Ford.

Definitely in a different league than the two prior diesel engines.

Had a '12 F250 6.7 CC long bed with a 37gal tank.. Loved it

Stepped up to 12.5K 5th wheel and went to a '15 CC LB Dually... 3:73 gears now that thing is a beast... also 37gal tank..

[blntrey3]

I've got a 2012, it's got a 37 gallon tank (it's also a dually) so that may have been an option or a partial year thing.

she's got 135K on her without a single hiccup.

now that I've said that ..... she's also for sale.

a repair at this point won't be $5K - it will probably be closer to 15K, not a risk I'm willing to take, so I'm about to trade her in or sell her.

How much?
