Ford Powerstroke = "The Bayliners of diesels"
Done nothing on my power strokes but put diesel in them with the exception of a freak failure on my 7.3 of a solenoid which was a 20 dollar fix. The shortcomings on these trucks are well documented and if anyone doesn't spend 5 minutes figuring out the very easy cures than buyer beware. 8 bolts and twenty minutes to remove the Dpf solves all the problems that "gimme" described. Regens and light duty with the emissions crap on kills them. I will say I was really disappointed in my 6.4 batteries which gave up the ghost after 5 years whereas my 7.3 batteries lasted 12 years |
Isn't removing emissions equipment a violation of federal law.So fixing your diesel equipped truck to run makes you a felon?
Nice sales pitch lol. |
Some helpful info for Ford Diesel owners 2008 and back.

Ford lost their class action on the 6.0's and the 6.4's are probably not far behind:

Totally agree with Seaford as all OEM"s have their problems here is GM for the past 7 years.

Don't get me started on GM's issues. They should be drawn and quartered for their wheel bearing issues on the 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks. No warning whatsoever and the bearing assemblies will blow right out rendering the vehicle useless. Or the fuel sending units that completely rot out in 5 years to the tune of about 900 bucks to fix. Every manufacturer has plenty to be ashamed of, and I get to see them all.

Here, I will get you started with this, as the car owner will be bringing it in for repairs every week bare min. What in the world was thinking on this for the consumer. Kind of reminds me of the current boat apps of how you can not get to anything to work on it. You have to watch the full video. How dumb and read the comments below the vid. funny.
