and the issue was the 6.0 powerstroke. no longer made by International...it's got design flaws. I've had the truck since new, and with 77k on the clock, it's been in the shop 3 times, twice for turbo issues. Don't get me wrong, this truck was the love of my life and I HATED to sell her. The warranty was up and once again, I began having "cold starting" problems...

so.... I found another one, a 7.3 Powerstroke... an International motor. This one is a bit older (1999) but only has 92k on the clock. It runs and drives like new and I couldn't be happier. I also had a 97' duelly with the 7.3 and I'm still kicking myself for selling that one!  |

A man and his truck these go together like a bat and a baseball or coca cola and a glass bottle or a mouse and a trap.
So is there going to be a hunt for a new truck ? You can't go long with out one, you will have withdraws believe me I know
I did it once for three weeks and it was awful.

About the only weak link on the 7.3 is the tranny. Buddy of mine has a 6.0. Lots of small issues with it. Seems like removing all the EGR and stuff is the hot setup for them.

I've been around diesels my whole life. THERES NOTHING COMPLEX ABOUT THEM that anyone needs to keep fixing...CRAP I don't know anything about Chevrolet diesel. I would ask questions... what version? how long has it been out? etc. See if they're still using the Allison Transmission...etc... Dodge on the other hand, have been using the same, old, Cummins forever. It works and they DIDN'T FIX IT!!!! The same thing with the gas motors too... Ford.... I am disappointed. The 6.0 and 6.4 twin turbo...complete "fodder". They run the intercooler, oil cooler, and transmission lines through the same plastic piece of crap... one crack and it's over $12 grand for a new motor. The turbo is inferior and undersized. The waste gate sticks, anytime there is corrosion, calcium, rust...triggering the engine light. 3 head bolts per cylinder as opposed to 4 in the 7.3 liter. Under heavy use...blown head gaskets boys and girls... Why should I have to buy something else for the NEW 6.7 diesels? Why do I need a "premix" of sorts, just to pass EPA emissions? Personally, I think its all BS  ..... and Ford has lost my new truck business. Jim.... I paid $12,400 for the truck. It was the "little ol' lady" from Pasadina deal! They bought it to tow a gooseneck and used it a few times. She died and he sold everything he had... Clean carfax...(which is WAY COOL) get one EVERYTIME and you can see all maintenence, owners, wrecks, etc. Totally taken care of and it's a 7.3 Liter.... ( HEAR THAT FORD??? 7.3 LITER!!!!!) "DOUCHEBAGS" So, that's my review... and out of the ashes...another one has risen! "GOLDIE" |

Ford really struggled with their engines in the mid-2000's, the 5.4l is a mess with the spark plug issues that they have. I hope they fired everyone in the engine shops and started new...especially since I bought an 09 with the 'new' 5.4 in it. I'm hoping all the issues don't start manifesting in a couple of years.

Me too Tkaz.
The only thing I've heard about the new Tritons, are the cam sensors...sometimes they can start making some noise.

I think that is because you are in Canada. It says it is blocked in our country for some copyright issue. |

Dang, sorry for the loss. Did you get to keep the plate's? New truck looks nice.
Sad to read FORD can't make a truck. Your yellow beast did ok, right?
2013 Boss is very tempting.
