Ford 6.7 Powerstroke

[whacker1]

We have had one truck that has had 2 egr cooler done under warranty. The truck is just about to roll over 100k. We have another one at a different location with an engine light on now, more then likely an egr cooler. That truck has 102k and it's the first egr failure for that truck. It will be the first one I will have to do. They dont look hard to change.

With the 6.7's, the most common reason for a check engine light, if you ask me, is the exhaust gas temperature sensors.

What do these cost?

Not a lot. There is actually a warranty extension on them too.

That may be the problem. I haven't been working on them that long. Still haven't got the computer hooked up to it yet.

For what its worth, my father has a 2012 6.7 powerstroke and loves it, tons of power, tows his 23ft sled no problems and now his 28ft grady white. I used to have a '99 7.3 powerstroke and a 06 5.9 cummins. Both great motors, however my dodge had to go back on warranty to have the front end replaced, ball joints upper and lower and tie rods and all that, then about 9 months later for injectors fortunately I had an extended warranty, front end was $1200 and injectors $5000. My 7.3 no issues.

My buddy just traded his 2008 6.7 cummins had 68k deleted running smarty on tow mode only towing his 37ft fifth, he started having exhaust brake issues, blew a water pump on way back from Vegas fall of '15 and had to have it replaced in Shasta, supposedly factory pump and new thermostat, truck never ran the same afterwards recently said to hell with it and traded it in on a new '16 Gmc Duramax denali. Sweet truck!

I personally went back to gas I run a '13 2500 hd sierra 6.0 pulls my 24ft travel trailer with no problems, average 10mpg loaded and unloaded, couldn't justify another diesel with a 3 mile drive to work and only taking longer trips when we go camping. End result I think you cant go wrong with either the powerstroke or the duramax.

I just picked up a 16 duramax and really like it.  Hopefully it lasts a long time with very little problems.  The power and smoothness is amazing.

I just never could get past the looks of the fords? 

[Skyvalhunter]

Same could be said for the Chevy's

[Miles]

True, all personal preference.    I drove enough fords at work so I never wanted to drive one when I was off the clock... It's been a few years now, but has Ford figured out a way to add a suspension to their truck lineup?  I swear you could rattle a filling loose on a newly paved road. 

[hunthard]

No kidding, I could drive over a nickel and tell you what year it was in my 2001 F350.

[jackelope]

Real truck suspension will do that.

[quadrafire]

Real truck suspension will do that.

[DRobnsn]

  Its funny but true. Good thing we have the aftermarket suspension companies to help those of us who use who want a better ride and want to keep the plastic interior and our tooth fillings from falling out on us.

[Miles]

Lack of a quality suspension will do that.

Fixed it for you.

I just got a 2015 6.7, I am cautiously happy with it....I'm cautious due to recent issue with the fuel pump while towing...it just died on my on our way home from camping over fathers day weekend.  "Low Fuel Pressure" and "Reduced Engine Power"....got it towed to moses lake Ford, where they got it back running...towed my trailer back home without issues (I live on the west side).  It tows sweet, stable, strong, can't feel my trailer.  I'm ahppy with that...I'm cautious about the fuel pump.  Only 17000, bought it with 16500, and found out the high pressure fuel pump was changes at 15000.  The Ford mechanic said he didn't think all the air was cleared out of the line during that repair.  Good thing, I got warranty still, with extended in case it happens again.  This is the most common problem I have found on all diesel fords through research...my buddy has a 2003 and recently did his, and via Ford Forums, a lot of chatter about the fuel pump issue....

It is my first diesel, and I wouldn't have chosen another one with the high ratings it receives...

I would expect that from a 1 Ton rig.

Just to give an update - same Low Fuel Pressure, and Reduced Engine Power happened to me on July 5th.  Had it towed to Riverside Ford in Sumner - where the truck still sits.  They cannot figure out the problem, ruled out any poor maintenance, bad fuel, water in the fuel line, etc.  Riverside contact the regional Ford Rep and escalated the issue - I also contact Ford Corporate - I was told they'll be in contact within 24hrs, starting yesterday.

Riverside noted, that because it has had two fuel pumps replaced to try to fixx the issue, and nothing is noted to be due to poor maintenance, debris in tank or anything else could've caused it - they need help to figure this out, so a Ford Deisel mechanic (from corporate?) is also in contact with them to work the problem - they just don't know what is causing the low fuel pressure - which then causes the truck to reduce power, and die.....
