The more and more vids I see from 11-14. I’m SOO GLAD and BLESSED to have bought my 2015. Yes I have had issues where I needed whole new engine (thank you warranty) but since then, no issues *knock on wood* I’m glad to know that 15 and newer are nearly bug free!! BUT! I still watch these vids so I know what and where to troubleshoot Thanks Bill! You’re AWESOME
Thanks for the power stroke knowledge Mr Bill. You are the reason I still have a 2005 6.0 keep putting up videos about 6 7 one day I might upgrade once you show all the bugs and problems thanks for the videos
This was a great video. Thanks Bill. It really is true, never buy that first year or 2 of any production model unless you are flush with cash. Best to let the bugs get worked out.
I own 2016 F250 XL 2 wheel drive 6.7 liter power stroke diesel. Don’t know what you guys are doing to your trucks but mine runs like a champ. Full delete. Dual bypass filters. Oil cooler. Get my oil analysis don’t every 10,000 miles. (I have 58,000 plus miles on her)Pull a 12,000 lb fiver through the mountains of Tennessee. Doesn’t burn oil. Run 0w40 100% synthetic Amsoil diesel Signature series. Have a tow tune and a Looney tune from Quick tricks out of Florida. Get 14-15 miles a gallon while towing and 21-23 miles cruising with my looney tune in the city and highway. Nice😎Built Ford Tough! Remember guys and gals, it’s all in the way you maintain your diesel. Never neglect your truck no matter what your make. Love your vids👍🏻
We need more people like you Bill . Who will do anything to make sure that your customers and TH-cam watchers are taken care of where other dealerships will basically beat around the bush
Bill, my dear friend, I have been wondering since the day that you released the video of the first look at the Powerstroke 3 liter when you plan on doing a series about that. I would love to see the inside of one of those engines.
Thank You 🙏 Bill For All the Information On the Powerstoke Diesel Engine and the 6.7 L Powerstoke Diesel Engine Too Sir 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Have a HAPPY 😃 4th of July Bill, Dana, & Mike 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I bought a not bulletproofed, 05 6.0L, did some research and right away added a EGT probe and have been monitoring it. Pulling a 20ft 10k enclosed trailer I see EGTs around 1000-1100 and ECT's creeping up close to 205. this is around town towing. Planning a round trip from Salt Lake to Sacramento to pick up a Jeep. I'm just not sure what temps to be afraid of. There are a lot of long climbs and I really don't want to break anything. Thanks for your time. Neil
Hey Bill, love the videos, I’ve, like most, have learned a LOT, and continue to, from you and your vids. Quick question....I bought my first diesel in September of last year, a 2015 F250 SD 6.7 and have had no issues, knock on wood, but wanted to ask you something.....my truck has 29,400k miles, should I invest in an EGR/DPF delete? I was told it wasn’t needed in the 2011+ 6.7’s, but wanted to ask a pro what he thought! Anything else you’d recommend that I should do to my truck?? Thanks!
Yep, modern gas engines seem to be much more reliable. I have a 2005 Silverado 5.3. In 175,000 miles the only thing I've ever replaced is the water pump. I prefer GM V8's because they use what works. "Old fashioned" cam in block, cast iron block, etc. The water pump itself was only 4 bolts and took less than 1 hour to replace. I don't have experience with modern Diesel engines, but I owned a 1992 Dodge Ram 3500 dually. It had the Cummins and a manual transmission. I don't recall doing anything to that other than changing the oil
@@RobertSmith-le8wp Simplicity is the answer, ive got a 24 valve cummins and the only other diesel truck i would buy is another cummins. I have a 7.3 and its good but its no cummins...
That's why I'm still rolling the 7.3. Bought it 3 years ago with 142,000 miles on it and I'm now 223,000 miles. With original injectors. Oil changes are religiously changed every 3,500 mi. And archoil to top it off. Still stomping the throttle @ 18 mi per gal. It's the most reliable truck I've ever owned. Its a 2000 superduty.
A big problem with making a good design is the penny pinchers who want to cut cost of the design as well and force the use of bad components. The engineer isn't stupid but he is forced to change a design to cut costs as well.
bill we have a 2013 F-450 6.7 and the dealer had to completely replace the motor at 48000 miles not more than 4 months ago they said there was a pinhole in one of the Pistons what do you think based upon your experience
So Bill, what is your suggestion to the people who have these motor/trucks and have the same issue like you have hear. where parts now are supposedly getting harder to obtain. what do you suggest. sell the truck or find another used motor out of a junk yard, etc.
this lack of parts was also a problem for the light duty 2015s, I have seen on the F150 forums that owners of crashed trucks have waited SEVERAL MONTHS for bedside skins to come in to fix their trucks because every bedside skin that ford was stamping out was going straight to the production lines and none were being allocated for the parts network.
A part that goes to engines under warranty if there is massive issues with the part it usually drives the cost down so they are not paying dealer mark up
I came to your channel to learn more about powerstroke engines, definitely learned a ton. if you compare the cummins 6.7 to the ford, it seams like the ford engines are way more difficult to work on, and have a mass of parts attached.. Wondering why ford doesn't simplify their designs...
So i picked up a 97 f250 with 75k miles. So far it has a ts 6 position, s&b cai, 5 inch exhaust, edge insight, and a stage 2 ats trans. Im wanting to do a 500hp build on it and im not really sure what to get for parts. And will that stage 2 trans hold 5 or 600 horses?
I don’t pull that hard but I was contemplating a F250 6.7L. I ended up going with a Toyota Tundra Basically because the truck hasn’t changed since its infancy And it’s damn reliable!
Been thinking about a 250 to haul a travel trailer. Kinda leaning towards the Godzilla, because of starting cost ($80k, whew!) and upkeep. Had a 6.0 excursion, which I sold before problems might have started. At this point, it looks like one should only buy a diesel if it’s your work. What do y’all think?
Your remark about not buying an early version of a vehicle is kinda like working in I.T. and not buying the version 1.0 of a software package. You wait for version 2.0 and beyond in hopes that the vendor has worked out most of the bugs. Sweet-talk that motor, Bill! I agree with Jack Reynolds, too! LOL Maybe time for a vacation!
I've honestly been stalking this youtube channel, wanting more of my weekly dose of Bill. Get us a 'trucks for sale' video this week, por favor. Oh, you said you were moving in the 7.3L core video. Where to? Bigger facility?
Hey I was just wondering if you have ever heard this my friend has an 05 Ford with a 6.0 motor and he had changed the oil too synthetic oil the high synthetic and it started a small skip and a mechanic told him that you could not run full synthetic in that motor that you had to run regular motor oil in that motor so he changed the oil and it quit skipping have you ever heard of such things like that????
Bill, I know you have your hands full with powerstrokes but have you ever considered doing some IDIhelp.com? I drive a 7.3 idi f350 and it does quite well. Not a speed freak I am.
That valve failure is generally caused by a broken glow plug in the first 6.7's tip breaks off the glow plug, there is tons of info online about it and updated glow plugs.
I have a 2011 6.7L with 143,000 miles. It’s been good to me so far. Is there a EASY way to have my valves inspected to see if they could be a problem? Is so, should I?
Does anyone know why the 2011 up trucks ride soo much better than the 2005 trucks?? Front end and parts look identical, but there is a distinctive difference in ride quality.
It’s not just hardware that has this problem, software engineering also suffers from the “you just don’t know” problem; maybe even more, since the software has to run on a physical computer (hardware), connected to the other stuff (engine, tranny, dashboard instruments, and who know what else) and all it takes is one little intermittent hardware problem to throw a wrench into the works (i.e. discover a hidden bug in the computer programming) that could lead to tragic results. There are no “simple” solutions. Way to tell it like it is, Bill!
I used to know the exact date when I owned a 2011 6.7. They changed the heads in March or April of 2011. So your June 2012 pickup has the newer heads and glow plugs. Only common issue a 2012 will have is the turbo bearing going out cause they’re still the ceramic.
I still don't know why Ford and GM insist on building high revving/high horsepower V8's versus a Low-revving/high torque Straight six and using an aluminum head. Aluminum heads are cheaper to cast and machine, but are more prone to cracking and dissimilar metal corrosion(more frequent coolant changes). Damn the engineers.
Hello again, Bill. I tried multiple times to contact you via phone or your email. No luck..... Can I schedule an appointment? I got a 2005 Ford Excursion with 6.0 powerstroke. Original 70,000 miles. Nothing wrong with it, but I’d like to dealerproof it. Can I? I keep calling and calling and leaving message after message, but nobody ever returning my calls. I sent you email like you told me-4 times. No luck either.
i saw a documentary on toyota years ago...they only produce just enough parts to meet demand ..think it was called lean production. more focus on quality of the part rather than quanity...less chance of defective parts getting thru the line.
2 thumbs up, and i very much agree with you. "ANY" new make and model car or truck is un-tested. they make it and you buy and test it. they get feed back from customers and do recalls or changes to make it better. same goes to almost every new product.
Historically Ford has rushed Diesel engines into production since 2003. It’s upsetting it took them 10 years for them to make a decent engine. I think leadership was the problem.
Why didn't they just pick an engine like the 7.3 or 6.0 and just keep making improvements to them and bringing them up to emissions standards. Creating new engines every couple years doesn't seem to work for them.
Hummin Cummins all the other engines were designed by other companies. The 6.7 is a Ford engine and I think they are trying to make the engine themselves now so they can dial in there own product. I think one they get the bugs out of this engine they will have one of the best engines. Did you know the exhaust and intake runners in the heads are reversed? The exhaust comes out of the top of the head keeping all the heat rising.
Engines produce a certain amount of smog within the cylinder, and the more smog in the cylinder, the greater the need for more smog filtering equipment in the exhaust system. At some point better smog filtration isn't enough for the next EPA and CARB smog test, so the manufacturers have to develop another engine that makes less smog within the cylinder. In addition, some of that extra smog gadgetry kills horsepower. To get an idea about an engine having less horsepower due to smog equipment, just analyze the performance of Corvettes from 1972 to 1980. Some cars had to be cancelled due to engines that couldn't be made smog legal, one example is the Mazda RX7 Twin Turbo. It was only sold in the USA from 1993 to 1995, but was sold in other countries until 2001 or 2002. A Mazda RX7 would never be complete without a rotary engine, and those are very difficult to make smog legal, so that is why it was cancelled in the USA. There are, however, many instances where engines can have incremental improvements and stay in use for a very long time. The GMC 6.2 diesel was introduced in the early 1980s and over it's production, it was increased to 6.5 liters, given a turbocharger, given a computerized injection pump, and the last one was used in 2002 in the GMC Savanna van. The Cummins 5.9 also underwent several changes, and although the 6.7 Cummins has a different engine block from the 5.9, it still shares a large number of components. Volkswagen introduced a 1.9L diesel during the late 1980s and it was a non-computerized engine with prechambers. In the late 1990s, they went from a prechamber design to a direct injection design, and the mechanical distributor pump was modified to work with a computer. The block from the 1.9 non-turbo mechanical injection engine changed very little when they made a direct injection engine from it. In 2004, VW was forced to change the design because a computerized distributor pump couldn't meet smog requirements, and so they had to create the Pump Duse engine. I could bring many gasoline engines into this discussion, but it wouldn't as relevant since this channel focuses on diesels.
the best part is when they have a fix but have a shit ton of outdated parts that they still run through the pipeline before they start to move the updated part. they have to deplete the parts supply. same thing Cummins did with their 8.9 isl-g. they knew they had aluminum piston failures but still ran the aluminum till all the stock was depleted then they switched to the steel piston.
"There are people out there who can break an anvil." The old phrase I heard was: "He can break a piece of railroad iron with a rubber mallet". And 35K isn't much. I've seen people pull 35K with the OLD idi 7.3s and their ZF-5s...lol but when they try it with the E4OD parts fly.
I somewhat disagree, look at the Ramber V-8's, they didn't have the time to thoroughly test the new engine so they used forged cranks and rods, they were over built. Some of it is cost engineering, they need to make the specification but also need to make that spec at the lowest possible cost. Some of it's quality vs production, meaning on the pilot line they're okay but when they ramp up to full production they fall out of control or the ability to make or assemble parts that meet the specification. Yes there is the feedback loop that you talked about where the more units in the field equates to more knowledge about the product vs customer expectations.
Everytime I watch this video I Come Away with a smile knowing that yes I did buy a ram but I rather deal with transmission issues down the road then with diesel engine issues up front it's amazing how people that watch these videos continue to keep on buying Powerstroke products knowing everything that bill says and that you're going to have issues before 200,000 miles that are going to require you to spend thousands I have a 96 Ford F250 with 283000 miles on it a 5.8 351 Windsor leaks oil burns oil 2 quarts a week easily 3000 Miles every two weeks put on it and runs 10 hours a day driving and idle time not one valve cover or oil pan off the truck still even has the original transmission amazing how 20 + years later the quality has improved but major issues still persist with the power stroke before 200,000 miles my 7.3 had six hundred and twenty-three thousand miles and 3 Transmissions but the motor still ran great why can't Ford build a quality product like that smh
Stellar Turnip not always,I've torn them down and you could actually see the stem on the valve had melted while hauling heavy loads.in my opinion Ford needs an outside engine manafacturer like cat/Cummins/Detroit to step in and help them figure out these dumb mistakes that are catastrophic to the consumer
@@mitchvus Cat screwed up the on road market, Cummins is taken already. Would be really cool to see a small detroit, but john deere makes engines for alot of applications, except on rd...
Every time my dealer shoots me a good deal on a powerstroke, i come to this channel. Then i buy a cummins.
Jay Farmer lol
Jay Farmer LOL, best comment
Jay Farmer yep. He goes over way more problems than I would be comfortable with.
Lol
And a extra transmission to go with your new Cummins.

Thanks bro. You are the reason I am changing to Archoil in all of my vehicles.
Bill I think your starting to loose it! You may need a vacation away from that sweet smell of diesel exhaust. ;)
I read your comment prior to the end of the video i thought to myself whats this dude talking about "o the love of a diesel "
Diesel exhaust = drug -- Who knew ??!!

She is going to love that archoil
Always good stuff.
that outro tho, im dead...lolllll!!!!!!!!!!!
how are the 2013 6.7 do they have any issues or short comings??
My 2013 has 81,000 miles on it only one small oil leak that Ford fixed under warranty love that 6.7 liter
Was the glow plug broken in that cylinder?
I don’t pull that hard but I was contemplating a F250 6.7L. I ended up going with a Toyota Tundra Basically because the truck hasn’t changed since its infancy And it’s damn reliable!

Does anyone know why the 2011 up trucks ride soo much better than the 2005 trucks?? Front end and parts look identical, but there is a distinctive difference in ride quality.
No casting numbers?
Makes me wonder what the manufacture actually does know about failures that will occur out of warranty.
It’s not just hardware that has this problem, software engineering also suffers from the “you just don’t know” problem; maybe even more, since the software has to run on a physical computer (hardware), connected to the other stuff (engine, tranny, dashboard instruments, and who know what else) and all it takes is one little intermittent hardware problem to throw a wrench into the works (i.e. discover a hidden bug in the computer programming) that could lead to tragic results.

Hey Bill, do you know which month manufacturing date they made the changes on 2012? My manufacture date is 6/12
I used to know the exact date when I owned a 2011 6.7. They changed the heads in March or April of 2011. So your June 2012 pickup has the newer heads and glow plugs. Only common issue a 2012 will have is the turbo bearing going out cause they’re still the ceramic.
What common problems do you see with the 2017-2018?
If going to Cummins buy a few transmission and head gaskets.
@@TheSavanto Just get a truck with an Asin, and stay away from the redline and you're good.
Hi bill how’s it going?How’s spot doing ?
Why not dealerproof mod?
Fords biggest mistake with the 6.7L is making non-interchangeable heads.
I still don't know why Ford and GM insist on building high revving/high horsepower V8's versus a Low-revving/high torque Straight six and using an aluminum head. Aluminum heads are cheaper to cast and machine, but are more prone to cracking and dissimilar metal corrosion(more frequent coolant changes). Damn the engineers.
to meet CAFE standards.
The Cummins uses an aluminum head as well and has since the 96 I think.
With you there bro. Inline 6. Balanced engine.
I,am from Holland (Europe) but here every car has a aluminium cylinder head for the past 20 years. No problems whith it
The Road Warrior in theory, it’s packaging.
Why did Ford stop the 6.0 if they refined it
"We're not dealing with Military Aircrafts here".
Painfully honest!
Can you put a old cat 6 or cummins in a ford.
Hello again, Bill. I tried multiple times to contact you via phone or your email. No luck..... Can I schedule an appointment? I got a 2005 Ford Excursion with 6.0 powerstroke. Original 70,000 miles.

Wow that’s awesome customer service for ya right there. Way to be professional Bill 👎🏼
Fight Factory I’m pretty sure he stopped doing 6.0 dealerproof. He had a sale on remaining 6.0 heads around Christmas.

2 thumbs up, and i very much agree with you. "ANY" new make and model car or truck is un-tested. they make it and you buy and test it. they get feed back from customers and do recalls or changes to make it better. same goes to almost every new product.
When more 7.3 videos???
Historically Ford has rushed Diesel engines into production since 2003. It’s upsetting it took them 10 years for them to make a decent engine. I think leadership was the problem.
Why didn't they just pick an engine like the 7.3 or 6.0 and just keep making improvements to them and bringing them up to emissions standards. Creating new engines every couple years doesn't seem to work for them.
Hummin Cummins all the other engines were designed by other companies. The 6.7 is a Ford engine and I think they are trying to make the engine themselves now so they can dial in there own product. I think one they get the bugs out of this engine they will have one of the best engines. Did you know the exhaust and intake runners in the heads are reversed? The exhaust comes out of the top of the head keeping all the heat rising.
Outsourcing the motor was cheap and problem free. Until the 6.0 now they're starting from scratch. Not sure why they keep changing
Emissions and power
They’ve had the 6.7 for almost 8 years now
Engines produce a certain amount of smog within the cylinder, and the more smog in the cylinder, the greater the need for more smog filtering equipment in the exhaust system. At some point better smog filtration isn't enough for the next EPA and CARB smog test, so the manufacturers have to develop another engine that makes less smog within the cylinder. In addition, some of that extra smog gadgetry kills horsepower. To get an idea about an engine having less horsepower due to smog equipment, just analyze the performance of Corvettes from 1972 to 1980. Some cars had to be cancelled due to engines that couldn't be made smog legal, one example is the Mazda RX7 Twin Turbo. It was only sold in the USA from 1993 to 1995, but was sold in other countries until 2001 or 2002. A Mazda RX7 would never be complete without a rotary engine, and those are very difficult to make smog legal, so that is why it was cancelled in the USA.
There are, however, many instances where engines can have incremental improvements and stay in use for a very long time. The GMC 6.2 diesel was introduced in the early 1980s and over it's production, it was increased to 6.5 liters, given a turbocharger, given a computerized injection pump, and the last one was used in 2002 in the GMC Savanna van. The Cummins 5.9 also underwent several changes, and although the 6.7 Cummins has a different engine block from the 5.9, it still shares a large number of components. Volkswagen introduced a 1.9L diesel during the late 1980s and it was a non-computerized engine with prechambers. In the late 1990s, they went from a prechamber design to a direct injection design, and the mechanical distributor pump was modified to work with a computer. The block from the 1.9 non-turbo mechanical injection engine changed very little when they made a direct injection engine from it. In 2004, VW was forced to change the design because a computerized distributor pump couldn't meet smog requirements, and so they had to create the Pump Duse engine.
I could bring many gasoline engines into this discussion, but it wouldn't as relevant since this channel focuses on diesels.
Bill you should change the name of your channel to “Come brag about your Cummins” cause that’s all these comment sections are for
the best part is when they have a fix but have a shit ton of outdated parts that they still run through the pipeline before they start to move the updated part. they have to deplete the parts supply. same thing Cummins did with their 8.9 isl-g. they knew they had aluminum piston failures but still ran the aluminum till all the stock was depleted then they switched to the steel piston.
WOW THAT'S MESSED UP
2011 was the only year we saw valve issues in the dealership shop, in my experience anyways.
"There are people out there who can break an anvil."
The old phrase I heard was: "He can break a piece of railroad iron with a rubber mallet".
And 35K isn't much. I've seen people pull 35K with the OLD idi 7.3s and their ZF-5s...lol but when they try it with the E4OD parts fly.
I somewhat disagree, look at the Ramber V-8's, they didn't have the time to thoroughly test the new engine so they used forged cranks and rods, they were over built. Some of it is cost engineering, they need to make the specification but also need to make that spec at the lowest possible cost. Some of it's quality vs production, meaning on the pilot line they're okay but when they ramp up to full production they fall out of control or the ability to make or assemble parts that meet the specification. Yes there is the feedback loop that you talked about where the more units in the field equates to more knowledge about the product vs customer expectations.
Common issue with 2011s, doesn't happen on the later ones
Why buy a 6.7 ford diesel and pay almost $3 a gallon for diesel fuel and get 19 mpg and pay big bucks too fix or repair it?
Jeffrey Kumjian because you look cool...lol
Pull a heavy trailer around awhile in a diesel then do it with a gas motor and you will answer your own question
Turned into coco puff at the end of video lol
FredFlintstone21 yeah, a little cuckoo to say the least.
Bills a good guy lol ive never met a businessman that isnt a little eccentric myself included.
Everytime I watch this video I Come Away with a smile knowing that yes I did buy a ram but I rather deal with transmission issues down the road then with diesel engine issues up front it's amazing how people that watch these videos continue to keep on buying Powerstroke products knowing everything that bill says and that you're going to have issues before 200,000 miles that are going to require you to spend thousands I have a 96 Ford F250 with 283000 miles on it a 5.8 351 Windsor leaks oil burns oil 2 quarts a week easily 3000 Miles every two weeks put on it and runs 10 hours a day driving and idle time not one valve cover or oil pan off the truck still even has the original transmission amazing how 20 + years later the quality has improved but major issues still persist with the power stroke before 200,000 miles my 7.3 had six hundred and twenty-three thousand miles and 3 Transmissions but the motor still ran great why can't Ford build a quality product like that smh
That would look nice in my obs!!🤣
From what I’ve seen doing research, the glow plug tip breaks off and then bounces around in the cylinder destroying the valves.
Stellar Turnip not always,I've torn them down and you could actually see the stem on the valve had melted while hauling heavy loads.in my opinion Ford needs an outside engine manafacturer like cat/Cummins/Detroit to step in and help them figure out these dumb mistakes that are catastrophic to the consumer
SCUBA SAM damn right!!!!!!
@@mitchvus Cat screwed up the on road market, Cummins is taken already. Would be really cool to see a small detroit, but john deere makes engines for alot of applications, except on rd...
LMAO . Love your vids man. But Mine is a 12 . Shit. !!
Why is it that that piston and cylinder head is always destroyed in the same spot every 6.7 engine u have.
Is is the cracked intake port as well which leaks a lil bit of coolant when it warms up and you will never know till it burns up the head and piston
You are fucking hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Him talking to the motor like it's a chick lol
John Sigler more like a pimp hustle
Fuck yeah shes is so pretty!!
