Cat, you really do know how to stir the pot, don't you. 
Do you really believe this
you post???
The Service Mgrs at 3 dealeships we deal with all say the same thing. The 6.7 has been very dependable so far. I would trust these gents much more than a hotshot forum.

I have read several in-depth articles about the PSD and the Ford engineers have solved some interesting problems, plus they have made the engine much more powerful than the previous International engine. There are several guys on that hotshot site who decided to buy the PSD Fords instead of the much more common Dodges. We'll see what they say about their motors because nobody works their trucks harder than the hotshot boyz.

Ahh, Mr. Cut-and-paste is back at it.
So you take a random response to a thread on an obscure website and want to pass it off here as some kind of historical fact. I guess you expect everyone to run out and trade their 6.7 trucks on Dodges (sorry Rams now that the Dodge truck brand has been re-badged) right? Of course when presented with actual fact from several Ford service department personnel on this site, you refuse to believe it because it does not jive with your agenda.
The diesel trucks from the big three have all had their problems. I am glad to see that Ford has worked out some of their major issues and i would consider buying one in the future. I have always been a Cummins fan but even they have been plagued with problems that have hurt their reputation for reliability.
Of course, what do I know? I could not possibly have any idea of anything diesel related since I am not some "god like" hot-shot driver.

I for one am just darn happy that Dodge has (apparently) never had a problem with any of their trucks. And of course I'm sure if they did, what's-his-name would tell us all about it. Thank god for the internet!

I hope Ford does not have issues with the new 6.7. They really took a hit with the 6.0's and 6.4's. These engines seem to be cursed randomly.... some no issues, others are a disaster.
My real issue is that ANY major engine work requires the cab to be removed. If you open up the hood on one of the new PSD's you literally cannot see the engine, there are a maze of hoses, lines, tubes, etc.
The Dodge and GM you can at least reach the engines.

Anything after 2008 has the DPF on it and severly restricts air flow and prevents good MPG.
With this all said I pulled up to the pump in my 6.4 the other day and a guy pulled up pulling a trailer with the new 6.7 and I asked him hows the MPG on that thing in hopes he had some crazy good numbers I have heard about. Well he said he tows 5-7k daily hauling travel trailers he gets 12-13 towing and without towing he gets 13.8. All according to his DIC, older gentlemen to boot. I had hopes he woul have said better.
