I'll keep driving mine. Sure it's no 1000 hp race truck, but damn it's done everything else I've wanted of it just fine. There's also a lb7 in North Carolina that couldn't pass me till 50mph with this behind me.....
Oh no my 600 hp dd broke.... Sigh some people
We have 7 F350 2012 trucks in our fleet at work. They replaced 7 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L gassers. We wanted the increased GVWR.
While this isn't really telling a whole lot...the guys filled up the Silverados every 2-1/2 days. The PSD's get filled up every day or 1-1/2 days.
I know there are no numbers to show (I don't have any)...thats just what the guys are telling me. I'll try and get some console read-outs for Average MPG's.
The ford 6.7 is a beast and will blow the doors off any duramax. Do the delets, stud it, oil cooler, and exhaust then match it with a STACKED hs performance chip.
whats the deal with the high pressure fuel pump destroying the entire injection system and ford not covering under warranty claiming fuel contamination?
id be kind of a little bit angry if they made me fork out another $10k to get my brand new $60k truck fixed
Because most of the pump failures are due to contaminated fuel.
the bosch cp4.2 pump is a turd 30,000 psi doesn't leave any room for error. Any contamination "including water" will destroy the pump sending metal particles into the piezo injectors hence damaging the injectors. gm uses essentially the same setup on the lml having just as many failures. Bosch is working on a solution but it is difficult at such high pressures. Higher pressures get better fuel atomization benefit is lower emissions. Only real difference is how they are covering the failure. Gm is covering the failures no questions asked, Ford is denying because fuel is bad. But I guess gm can afford it sense the have taxpayer money

i just read that "rumble in the rockies' review very intresting read. but not bad for a new desigin from Ford tho.
That "rumble in the rockies" deal was maybe skewed. Claims of a tuned Dmax, subsequent test with 2 trucks off the lot was different, fyi.
Dawg, look up "sulastic" to cure your rough rear ride on the dmax. They work excellent.
As for 6.7, we have 2. One 2011 with 122k needs hpfp, other one is 2013 only has 40k. So far so good.
As for Dmax broken cranks, I have never seen one. One company I service uses exclusively Dmax trucks and tows over 30k regularly. Every truck is tuned and not one failure of any sort since 2001 except lb7 sticks and one vane position sensor.
I have a 2005 lly with 260k and 200 hp over stock tunes with a Suncoast trans. Never touched really and beat the he77 out of it daily. Towed thru rockies and scaled 29,040 lbs. Never took tuner off level 5 and never obeying speed limit. ATS3000 turbo kit. Bone stock motor.
