That is a nice Super Duty, great job going through the truck and pointing out everything. Also thank you for taking care of that Ambulance. I retired from them in 2017. I remember the good old days of the Diesel engines. I think now there all gas.
Ah yes, star white! Sold my 2012 F-250 6.7 PSD on Monday, and ordered my 2023 star white F-350 Lariat 6.7 PSD today. Can't wait to see it in a few months!
Appreciate the walk through Arod. Mine is a ‘19 and after seeing this I plan on checking the shocks, oil pan and dif for leaks. Hopefully all dry. Thx!!!
I just bought a 19 f250 with a 6.7 and the first thing I had to do is replace the windshield. I had it 1 day and it rained I noticed water on the dash. Come to find out it had the wrong windshield installed and poorly done. Now it has the correct windshield and ready to roll.🎉
First thing I thought when I saw the 2023 front end was they copied Chevy. All 4 shocks on my '17 leaked in a short time, I installed after market Fox shocks and steering stabilizer.
There she is again! Thanks for getting it all taken care of. See you in a few weeks. Getting bigger coils tossed on the front right now, Bilstein shocks all the way around, & the steering stabilizer. Then off to get that Krown undercoating to try and help get the rust away.
That right there is a near $80,000 truck up around here even though its a 19. I got a 19 F-450 back in August, 38K miles, $82K. Previous Owner had the underside coated, and the internal panels coated with Wool Wax. Messy, but man did it protect the metal from the upper Wisconsin salt! There is zero rust on everything except the shells on the running board motors and where the WW evaporated on the rear diff. Does make looking for leaks difficult, but all seals are perfectly dry! YEAH. First thing I did was install an SPE DPK on it.
What about cost to fix it all? Would be nice to know some rough numbers to knock the price down. I'm looking at two 250 lariats and a king ranch all 2017-2018 currently so this video helps a lot!
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Actually the new adjustable XL’s are pretty nice ! The ride is vastly improved over the stock Crap they put on these trucks .
I just purchased a 21 F250 with the 6.7 I got lucky and my truck came from South Carolina. If I was looking for a used one, I'd stay away from "Rust Belt" states if possible, that way you'll get a nice clean truck that you can undercoat and be good from the get go. Unless of course the deal is REALLY good, I know it's hard finding a good truck these days where the price isn't completely jacked. Everything that ARod mentioned on this video is good. I'd want to see records as well, look really good for scratches, dings, dents, pull up carpet for water damage, etc. This truck looks like it was kept outside I think, judging by the amount of surface rust underneath. Not a huge deal, but maybe you want a truck that was in a heated garage all its life, I know I would... Run the VIN and make sure you know all the options on the truck. Since mine was a southern truck, no cold weather prep package, so now I have to drop the $200 bones for the block heater. So far I've been very impressed with the 6.7, crazy how much more power it has over my outgoing truck, with a 7.3 PS. Thanks for the video pal!
Needs new Bilstein shocks all around with a Banks Differential cover with Lube Locker gasket+ Gear oil. Lube the front axle U-joints. Lower oil pan reseal. Put some new filters all around and down the road it goes.
There's a 2019 F350 dually with 128K on the clock for sale at my local dealership. I've only ever owned gas trucks, so buying something with that kind of mileage makes me nervous. Then again, I understand the PS is supposed to be good for something like 300-500K miles. I haven't seen the truck in person yet, but it looks like it's in really good shape on the dealer's site. Thanks to this video, I'll have some idea what to look for underneath the truck. Any thoughts on buying a PS with 128K on it?
Great video. I’ve currently got a 07 6.0 which is a great truck powertrain wise for me, with most of the reliability modifications already done to it, short of the BPD oil cooler. But it’s problem is body. The bed is shot. Cab isn’t horrible but some of the paint has worn thru and that will need to be dealt with at some point. Would I be better off upgrading or sticking with the 6.0?
I know this a kinda a shot in the dark but I bought a 2014 king ranch a few months ago Been extremely solid except front regular maintenance but i noticed there dry Exhaust fluid all over the side of the truck but I don’t have a check engine light on
Holy crap my 19 with 20k is rust, dust and dirt free , and I live in the Snow belt too! It don't look like that. I would walk away from that if I went underneath that!👎That trucks been rode hard and put away wet🤢
Ford cheating on the paint. I live in South Carolina and the rust under my 2019 after 5,000 miles looked like it had 100,000 miles on it. I purchased it new Oct. 2019. Picked it up the day it arrived on the lot.
I bought new 2001 f350,2002 f350,2008 f350,2011 f350,2016 f350,2019 f350,2024 f350. All diesels except the 2024. Hated the 2019 for comfort ,access, etc compared to the others and thank God Ford changed the 24 to address the issues with the 19. The 2016 was the best. No issues with any of the diesels or drive train.
I have everstarts from Walmart, 2 years zero leaking or issues, 3 year no question free replacement. And on the esp, inform your client not to but till the 3/36 is about to run out and the earliest. ESP runs concurrent with the current warranty. I bought mine at 60k when the driveline warranty ran out so now I'm good till 185k miles. If you buy an ESP it runs out 125k miles from the day you buy it, it runs concurrent. So if you buy when the truck is new, you only get an extra 25k miles. Dont let the dealership fool ya. Its $1800 cheaper when you buy it when the truck is new, that is the difference but is it worth it?
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod yea I get that, but, the key take away is that the warranty runs concurrent. You do not get an added 125k miles of coverage, if you got 5he warranty when new you only get 25k miles of coverage
Why do the motorcraft batteries leak? I have a 2020 that the dealer has put 6 batteries in. Looked the other day and it looks like I need 2 more cause they leaking again.
You know I have a 17 with over 100k and I had less issues. The shocks continue to make me think Ford has dropped the ball. No excuse on time and use. I do have a seeping lower pan, and did shocks. Funny enough the dealer even suggested not using Fords sealant. The rear axle is truly disappointing. As far a water separator drain valve mines original but I do filters every 15k. But things like leaking shocks differentials upper and lower pans on design in service from 2011 is just sad.
I just bought a '17 F250 Lariat FX4 and mine came with Rancho shocks, did the '19 FX4's not come with those? The ones on this truck looked like the standard shocks from Ford. I'll be swapping new shocks on mine, anyone have an opinion between Fox and Bilstein shocks on these Super Dutys?
With you referring to the brakes. Why does the manual tell you to replace the caliper bracket bolts? Are they TTY? I've never seen or heard of them being required to be replaced when there's no damage to them. It also looks like the coolant is a little low. Do you have the o-ring part number for the upper primary radiator end? Everything I look at is different in the description.
15k moles? Those tires look like at least 30k worn. Maybe he bought used tires? The battery mounts? My 2021 has 58k on it, and my engine well looks brand new...and 3 out of 4 shocks leaking, lower oil pan and rear diff leaking? Im thinking somebody unhooked/changed the odometer.
15,000 miles and you have leaks from the diff, oil pan and 3 out 4 shocks. Ford’s quality like most brands has seriously taken a turn for the worse. At least Engineer Johnny didn’t screw up and make you lift the engine to install a new oil pan gasket like on a 7.3 PS. Best $300.00 a person would ever spend is by having a quality mechanic go through and check everything before purchasing a used vehicle if they don’t know how to check things themselves.
@@miano07 Absorbed Glass Mat. The batteries that typically come from factory in this truck are standard flooded batteries which tend to leak when overcharged or when charging too high for too long as mentioned by OP. These trucks don’t have smart charging systems so the BCM doesn’t monitor the battery and adjust voltage as necessary. AGM batteries (generally) are much better for starting, deep cycle applications and have a faster charge/discharge rate.
If you don't Know no one Know's I ordered a 23 7.3 gasser lariat F-250 no one can tell me if it will be a FLEX-Fuel I need to know since Joe Biden says no more drilling for oil .Please help???????
