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.

in my neck of the woods all the construction copanys insist on fords but alot of the towing outfits are going with dodge 4500 and 5500 series trucks,, i spoke to one gut last week that does relocating said now out of 10 trucks they have 3 are fords,4 are dodges which replaced thefords and 3 ih flat beds..he said no one want to drive the fords any more lol..

Just last week I had a Patient of mine that is a heavy equipment mechanic who has 550 with the 6.7(I.E. cab and chassis truck) tell me that they have had 3 6.7's go down recently in his company. Made me worried. Maybe the extended warranty is a necessity. With all this. I love my truck, tons of refined power I hope it is a problem with bad valves and that Ford recalls them.

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.

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.

I think I found the problem with both of these..... Should be putting diesel in these trucks and giving them throttle.

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.

Agreed, never had an issue with my 6.4l. Nor my 6.0l for that matter. But as far as the 6.7l r&d, it started right around the release of the 6.0l ten years ago coined the "scorpion" if anyone recalls. Cummins might have a reputation but the but you can keep the cheap glorified shipping crate it comes in.
