Anyone own one of the new 6.7 powerstrokes? I finally managed to get rid of the massive thorn in my side better known as a 2008 ram 3500..... The new ride will be delivered tomorrow and i'll be picking it up before i go to work tomorrow on nights, feel like a little kid waitin on christmas right now! My dad has a 2012 with over 65k and loves it so far. Anyone else running one of these and if so have any advise or info regarding any aspects of the truck i should look into? Likes dislikes etc....lets hear em!

I have driven two 6.7 f450 for the company i work for i can say they have a hell of a lot more get up and go compared to the 7.3, 6.0 or the 6.4. The only thing thats aggravating about the new diesels is having to put urea in the separate tank and im not sure on the 13 but the 11 & 12 doesnt have gauge to let u know if it's low it will just shut the truck down at a certain point. But other than thay really nice smooth riding trucks and dont forget to post some pics when u get it.
O and by the way im glad you got away from that olgoat and got a real truck! No just messing around goats are alright im just a ford lover i guess.

Anyone of you ford or chevy guys ever put a pencil to paper to see what it costs to drive these trucks per mile when you factor in def/urea and your fuel mileage? I'd be interested to know what kind of mileage these fords are getting also.

A good friend of mine owns a diesel truck performance/ mechanic shop. He steered me far away from them. He told me that a whole bunch of the 6.7's are waiting at the dealer for a new motor after the CRANK breaks. He said it has been happening at around the 100k mark so it is not covered of coarse. My boss man has one with 65k on it with no problems to date been getting about 15 mpg. Good luck  |

Man i'll be honest, I had a 1/2 ton dodge that was perfect in every sense of the word EXCEPT it was a gas hog when pulling trailers. I stepped up into the worst truck i've ever owned...a 2008 3500 1ton, I havent been able to keep that truck out of the shop since thanksgiving for more than a couple weeks at a time..........absolute junk. Now it is fixed and running good but i have zero confidence in it and i'm looking in the near future at quite a few longer distance drives than I am comfortable taking in it. Goin to my cousins in MS next month for a wedding, 8hr drive and hunting season is right around the corner which means multiple trips to uvalde, junction and freer, all over 6hrs away from me, I just can't comfortably get into it to make one of those trips with my family. |

My dad tows with his quite a bit and really uses his and has had zero issues so far, hopefully I will get a good one myself! My dad averages right around 15mpg's also so at least they are pretty consistant, I imagine...well I should say I hope to get a little better mileage wise due to the fact that over 90% of my daily driving is highway to and from work with almost zero city driving mixed in, well shall see! |

I would agree EXCEPT the goat body isn't the problem, its the POS 6.7 motor under the hood on this one.........I know its completely backwards lol |

LOL, yea I've heard quite a few negatives about the 6.0 ford motor. While I have heard negatives about the new ford 6.7 I can honestly say that i've read alot more positive than negative.........the way I look at it is that now days it doesn't matter what truck you buy there will be positives and negatives, hopefully I'll have better luck with this one than the last! |
