2014 f350 6.7 Powerstroke issues

[kingcat162]

100 thousand kms on my 6.7 Powerstroke - I was in drayton valley in early Nov and it hit 20 below I thought I had power at the hotel but apparently not - t6 synthetic 5w40 it fired up and nuked the bearing on 3rd cylinder - 3 and half weeks at dealer getting a new short block - FML - Built for Canada they say

So what dealer say caused it....

 

[kingcat162]

Apparently they say it's from cold starting it -20 Not plugged in - are u frickin kidding me - now it has ALL NEW updated parts - how bout making it right the first time - the 14's are bad for it happening I guess - and here I thought getting the last Gen of the 6.7 before they changed a bunch of stuff in 2015 i'd be good 2 go for years - ya umm not so much - picking it up today and heading to sicamous on Saturday with 2 sleds on the deck good way to break in the new motor I guess - she blows again I'm burning it

So it was warrantied then or no? I'd be some angry if not..

 

[kingcat162]

Yup warranty - still only have warranty till 160 thou - if she calves again it's over for this truck it'll be dead to me - I can't always have it plugged on ffs and I'm not putting a webasto in it

240k on my 2011 and no majors heater in the def tank has gone a couple times and conveniently my heater blower fan went during our first cold snap this year but other then that it's been a good truck

2011. Had my egr cooler go at 60000 then my dpf at 90000. Deleted everything and haven’t had a problem since. 100000 deleted Kms.

Traded my 11 in with 343000 and no engine issues in that time. My 16 now has 90000 on it and I had a def pump fail and a fuel gauge fail. Both trucks I never ran synthetic oil on and there was times that they have been started at well below -20 not plugged in. Had a 2010 duramax before I went ford and that truck sucked. Always in the dealer. Can’t make money like that. First Ford was good so bought another. I wish Toyota had a 1ton diesel as that is what I would be running if I had the choice.

 

[Pink-Inc]

Had an '11 for work that I put 320,000k on. It had no major issues. Never plugged in no matter the temp. Only time it didn't start was when batteries were getting bad. In fact we probably currently have 60-70 powerstrokes from '11 and up and only 2 engine failures that I know of.

 

[kingcat162]

The dealer said I should run 0w40 synthetic from oct to may - drove it 150kms today on the new motor everything seems fine so far - fingers crossed it gets me and my buddy to sicamous this weekend

 

[nbrecht]

I run 0-40 in mine year round. 170xxx only issues was turbo and rad

 

[Woodsie1984]

2014 120,000 km 1 rad and couple of sensors in exhaust under warranty. Run 5w-40 synthetic rotella oil...rarely plug it in. Delete kit is in shed ready to be put on at 160,000 km once warranty is over. Have a 2016 duramax and prefer the ford more, gm mostly sits in driveway.

 

[sledneck__11]

Parents 2013 f350 started acting up at 50xxx kms and was very hard on fuel deleted it and never looked back now has 90
km on it, got a 2017 f350 12xxxkms and will be deleted by time it hits 20 same as my 2012 dodge deleted at 15xxx kms and best thing i ever did. Dont crank the tune up and dont get on it till truck warms up

My dad had a bearing that spun on a early year 6.7 it was pretty new at the time Under 50k if I remember correctly. No issues other than that he’s on his second 6.7 now. Not because it failed again just was time for a new one.

2011 F-550 6.7, spun a main bearing at about 6000hrs, short block on warranty, dropped a valve at 6800hrs no warranty as five years was up. Aftermarket rebuilt installed for 20000,deleted at the same time. IMO it's the best thing you can do for these engines

 

[S.W.A.T.]

What delete are you guys running?

I agree - I deleted mine at 60 thou - 90 hp tune when I spun the bearing - on a 60hp heavy tow tune now - luckily my dealer in my hometown is really good and turned a blind eye to the delete and tune - definitely gonna start making sure it's plugged as much as I can and it's warm before I move it
