It's done good so far besides an EGR cooler and an up-pipe. Need the fucker to last until I buy a new one in '18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamaha21 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 The 6.7 powerstroke turbo setup is garbage until they switched it up in 2015. Get to 100,000 with stock to keep Ford responsible for any turbo issues until warranty is up and then go with a industrial injection or H&S single turbo setup. I'd be curious to see if dealer holds to his statement of lifetime turbo warranty, when it comes to warranty work they like to find ways to blame you before they replace anything.

Yamaha21 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 They have a VGT turbo setup that they refer to as "a single turbo that acts as a sequential turbo setup." It's an interesting concept, there's a really good article on this website about what they changed in 2015 and how it differs from the original setup. http://www.enginelabs.com/engine-tech/engine/an-inside-look-at-the-6-7-power-stroke-including-2015-updates/ Enviado desde mi XT1585 mediante Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamaha21 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 The setups from industrial injection and H&S are true singled. Nothing super fancy like the VGT but they are more reliable, simpler, little bit more turbo lag but much more potential for boost pressures without blowing your turbo. All around more dependable than a VGT in my opinion. Enviado desde mi XT1585 mediante Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F1HDR Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Ya I've considered a big single for mine. But mine hasn't given me any trouble and pulls anything I want. Not gonna fix what's not broke. I know mine has true twins but I think one is variable vane or maybe it is true VGT. Not totally sure. I used to be a GM guy but the last "real" job I had we had all Fords. 3 of them 6.0s, 2 were 7.3s and 1 was a V10. We had very little trouble with any of them. They've still got the 6.0s and they've all got well over 250k on stock parts and no major repairs whatsoever. I've got a 6.4 and I think I must be the 1 guy in the country that hasn't had trouble with it. I had an EGR cooler start leaking but had already bought the delete kit so I just put it on and went on about my business.

dbalpine Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 We have a 6.4 at work and it the only one we haven't had issues with so far it got around 130k on it. All of the e350 vans we have with the v10 in them like to blow the plugs out of the heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamaha21 Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 People always avoid the 6.0s because of the known issues but if you're aware of the issues and do some simple fixes they're great running trucks. We still have 5 or 6 of them in our fleet and most are over 200,000. We don't have very many 7.3s left but those have been pretty much bulletproof. As much as people have said about the 6.4s having a ton of problems, we've had good luck with ours as well, we've actually bought a couple that people thought they had destroyed and we bought one assuming we'd do an engine swap on it and ended up just replacing injectors, EGR delete, and a tune and it runs great.

On a brand new truck. If i buy something new it should work. If not, why buy it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
