However, looking at the volume of sales as a proportion to the number of "blown" motors, it's almost a moot point. I spent two years looking for my 6.7 as I wanted to wait for the "issues" to surface. Also, in comparison to the issues people had with the old Strokers, these are limited. The big issues that have gotten press on the interwebz have been blocked glow plugs and dropped valves. Like the poster before, no mfg is immune to issues when you look at the scope and size of production. What I have seen is that Ford has done a pretty good job in stepping up to the plate to rectify any issues. Good points , i have 4 of the 6.7s in the fleet and not a lick of problems ,i'll keep my fingers crossed |
Sorry to hear about that! The 2013 and 2014 cummins are SWEET trucks, and yeah the cummins is AWESOME. I don't like my G56 (mercedes) 6 speed manual as much as my last cummins with the NV5600, but its fine.
Just FYI, you can get the 68rfe or the Aisin automatic in the 3500 SRW or DRW Cummins Rams. The Aisin might be an option for you. My buddy has a 2012 6.7 Ford that I have logged quite a few miles on and I still prefet the Cummins Ram. Good luck |
We have seen a few 6.7's with issues and they have all been top end related. With it being fords first diesel im still skeptical.

my fathers construction company has 3 2011 ford f450's with the 6.7 engines. Last year at around 15,000 miles dropped a valve and we had the motor replaced under warranty by ford. The other 2 trucks have been problem free. We have 30 ford trucks in our fleet and the worst so far are the 6.0 diesels which we have 6 of. They are all junk. We also have 3 of the 6.4 diesels which are a little better than the 6.0 but after this 2011 blowing up I think we are all done with ford.

This thread cought my attention and is funny to me. I spent three years in ford dealerships and now work at cummins crosspoint in Louisville lol. The only problems ever saw at the ford dealerships was out of the cab and chassis trucks.ford used a different valve supplier for the engines in those trucks and it has since been taken care of. That being said. All I do is work on blown up cummins day in and day out. Mostly n14s, isx, m11, etc. but we still do rebuild alot of B series stuff from dodges to tree chippers.

Urban- Please keep us updated. I have been down on the Ford diesels with all the issues the 6.0 and 6.4 had. But I REALLY was impressed with the 6.7 and thought Ford had really stepped it up with the 6.7. I want to know if it was a casting defect in the block or ?
Wannabe Sometimes I wonder if the 6.4 carried some of the negativity over from the 6.0. Either way there are urban legends out there on any motor or brand. What it comes down to is, there lemons in every batch made. Guys that blow engines often times are over loading their trailers and drive like a race car, and more times than not there was some tune or mod added that isnt mentioned or is whispered under somebodys breath. I got out of diesel because I can do what I need to do with a 1/2 ton, but was looking at the 6.7 and I was skeptical on an engine that was just dropped out of the sky by ford only a year or two ago. |

LOL...sorry I had to....Im a diesel junky and a FORD guy I tune all of mine using custom tunes and beat on them pretty good...They all have issues IMO the FORD has the least and the interior and resell is by far the best. |

See I dont get where the anti 6.4 comes from. 6.0 i can see it but i had a 6.4 and two buddies had/have a 6.4 with no issues minus blowing some turbo boots, which whatever thats like a clogged air filter as far issues go.
