Great combo, IMO, I ordered a 2019 thinking it was the last year for the 6 speed, love the Transmission. Only advantage to the 10 speed is more flexibility in the axle ratio, IMO.
I have a ‘17 F250 with the 6.2L and it’s been great. I hear a lot of people say it’s gutless, etc. We primarily use it to tow our 11k pound gooseneck horse trailer and we’ve never had an issue.
The company o work for has hundreds of Ford pickups. Many many many F250’s with 6.2 go well over 200k miles no issues. Our people beat the trucks up (hey, they are work trucks) and they keep running strong. One guy I know bought his old F250 with the 6.2 when it came off lease. As of week of April 1 2021 he told me he now has 277,000 miles on that truck. He told me “Me and my wife use that truck for all running around town. We use it every single day. It has never failed me”. This guy doesn’t abuse his truck and he always changes oil a little ahead of Ford schedule. He does moderate towing with it. He also said he would feel comfortable jumping in for a cross country trip tomorrow. Pretty good testament to the 6.2 I think. I post this to all for what it’s worth.
You weren’t impressed with those beautiful splayed valve, ohc heads? This basic 6.2 architecture has more untapped potential than ALL of the modern pushrods. Give this engine the Godzilla’s 4.22 bore diameter (Godzilla and Boss share the same bore spacing), up the valve and port sizes to match, up the compression and this Boss would have been one BAD bitch.
@@alb12345672 Yeah, it physically looks like a Modular but has 4.53 inch bore spacing. And Boss heads looking nothing like 4.2 2V heads. The 6.2 heads are pure opposed-valve awesomeness.
@@alb12345672 Right. Boss is an amazing performance architecture it just needed a little more development and an aluminum block. Thinking back I wish Ford would have gone all in on the Boss instead of the Coyote for 2011. Just think about: 11:1 5.8 or 6.2L 2V for the GT/F150, 12:1 6.2 4V w/ TiVCT for Boss/Mach, supercharged 6.2 4V w/ TiVCT for the GT500. 12:1 7.0L 4V w/ TiVCT for the GT350 12:1 6.2L 2V or 4V with GDI for 2018 Mustang/F150
I have had my 6.2 F350 since new in 2014 and love it. I haven't had a single issue with the engine or transmission, and i tow quite a bit. In the summer im hauling round bales which is about 21,000 GCW and in the fall i pull our grain trailer which i have had just over 34,000 GCW, and it pulls everything no problem at all.
I have a 2015 6.2 gas, bought brand new. I own a civil construction company. I’ve used this truck to tow a 6 ton excavator, 6 ton skid steer, pulling out stuck dump trucks etc. on a daily basis! Not just once here and there. 120k miles and only replaced a the battery, doesn’t burn a drop of oil. Still runs like when it was new, only downside is that it’s a total fuel hog. Good solid truck though. No problem towing 16k just wants to be wound up high RPM.
You are not wrong, there. There is a guy that occasionally posts on the Ford Truck Enthusiasts forum that runs hotshot with a 6.2 powered flatbed dually... ran his 6.2l for 418,000 miles before having a cam lose a lobe. He put in a remanufactured engine, and the last time that he posted, he had 760k miles on the truck with the original rear end gear and transmission, and the reman engine is working great.
Just pulled the trigger on a 19 F250 Super Duty 4x4 love the look and power, but what really made up my mind was the tried and proven engine and transmission, unlike all these newer engines, we know nothing about yet... thought about the 7.3, almost bought the Hemi, almost bought the 6.6L GMC but I found a great deal on one of these and saved myself 10k-15k+ and a whole lot of headaches. If I found another one with relitivly low miles for a great price Id buy another! Thanks for your vids recommending the 6.2 Super Duty .... Tons of power and reliability love this truck!
I have a 2011 6.2 gasser. I was told by a Ford tech that these motors were built for high rpm. The stroke is shorter so it can handle high rpm and not to be afraid of punching it up a hill. I get mine up to 5500 rpm's and it really flies.
Where I work, almost the entire fleet is F250's with the 6.2. They just recently replaced the last old F250 in the fleet (which was the one I was using) for a brand new F250. Very reliable and powerful engine. To tell you the truth, I don't see the need in the 7.3. This engine has more than enough guts to do above and beyond its capabilities. One thing I do like (and probably most people don't know this) is that the 6.2 is like a modern day SOHC "cammer" from the past. It has a Hemi-like layout which is great for flow. It's hard to believe this engine doesn't have much aftermarket support and, it's a shame because it's been proving itself worthy of it too.
This is typical Ford to be honest. They’ll produce the best engine architecture of the day but never really develop it then let it rot on the vine. The 6.2 really is a modern day cammer. It’s has the same bore spacing as Godzilla - a wider bore spacing than both LS and new Hemi - and splayed valve layout like a Hemi but getting rid of those pushrods allows for a perfect intake port. They treated this 6.2 just like the Cleveland (which was also architecturally superior to SBC and SBM of the day) when they SHOULD have introduced a larger bore/larger valve version 6.2 with an aluminum block and stuck it in GT500 and Raptor back in 2015.
@@iceman45ification1 There was one back around 2011. It made 850 HP at 6.2 liters. More than Brian Wolfe’s 790 HP aluminum rod, 12:1 Godzilla build. There was also Don Bowles’ 777, that thing was a monster.
Thank you Shaun from another Shaun. Just sealed thinking. Bought a 6.4 power stroke...yah, made a mistake. Already going to get rid of and back to gas. Was on fence about the 7.3. good points made. Thnx
Solid review man. I did things a little backwards in that I bought an Airstream 23-footer then decided on my truck. Based on a bunch of old timers opinions and experiences and how little I take the trailer out maybe three four times a year I decided on 2012 Ford f250 6.2 l gas engine with extra seats in the back. So far it has a hundred and seven thousand miles on it and not a peep. I know three guys with diesels and all of them have broke down one way or another. One poor guy both of his diesels crapped out and he was looking at $8,000 to fix both of them. He traded them in and bought a new 2019 diesel which left me scratching my head. It rides kind of rough as I came from a Lexus RX 350. Lol, but I have no complaints as I've put 3,000 lb of gravel in the back of the truck and rides really smooth then. My wife on the other hand can't stand the truck loll, but understands. I love the ride height, the power and the convenience of having an extra seats in the back for my dogs and daughter and her friends every once in awhile. An all-around solid truck.
I agree 100% that the 6.2 has been a phenomenally reliable engine. The 7.3 will just continue that - less complexity - less to go wrong - time will tell but i'd be willing to bet it will turn out to be a legendary engine.
Tony Moon I’m planning on buying an f250 with a 6.2 engine in it but doesn’t have the dual batteries or is it the f350 the only one with the dual batteries
I have a 2012 F-250 Heavyduty Crew Cab with the 6.2L 6 speed and i LOVE it, except for the gas Mileage. Im averaging 14 - 15mpg not pulling anything. If i put my 20ftx8.5ftx7.5ft cargo trailer that i converted into an apartment on wheels, i only get 9.5-10mpg. But there is no problem pulling it... can barely tell im even pulling it. The 6.2L is a great engine... 110,000 never an issue at all.
The 6.2 and the 4.30 rear end is SOLID. Great platform and at these weights, fuel economy is out the window. Save a few grand and if you dont NEED the 7.3 or Powerstroke, itll serve you well for a long time.
Good video. I agree the 6.2L is a good engine. I am planning to move away from the 6.7 Diesel for the 6.2 Gasser. Love the Diesel and it has been a solid performer for me on the 2016 f-250 SD. That said, the Diesel is more truck than I need most days. The 6.2 fits the bill and will save money. Just one man's opinion.
I did the same. I've had a duramax, cummins and 6.0 powerstroke. My 2017 F250 6.2L has been the most reliable. Bought brand new off the lot Nov 2017. 95k miles now. Total downtime, 5 days.
@@maxennis6368 what was your down time for? I have 55,650 on mine ford just told me yesterday that the trans, gears dont need an oil change till it hits 100,000.
I have '19 with 6.2 and 4.30 combo. It will get up and go but its also a thirsty combo even unloaded. I only get around 15mpg on the highway. Hoping it gets better as it breaks in. Although I did a test with a 16 foot enclosed tandem axle trailer loaded with 2800lb car and ran 100 mile loop comparing my f250 against my '07 f150 (3v 3.73 ratio). Both were topped off at the same pump to make things as apples to apples. There was less than 50 cents difference in fuel between the two at the end of the test. However, the f250 handled the trailer as if there was nothing back there. It was amazing how little sway there was around big rigs and side wind gusts. I've had many years towing with my f150 and its no slouch towing but it definitely has more motion transfer from the trailer to truck even with a properly balanced 5000 lbs trailer which is well under its 9400lb tow capacity.
I bought a used 2013 F-150 FX-4 6.2L about a year ago and I love it, it's fast and powerful so far 108,000 miles, only issue I've had so far was the water pump going out, and since runs even better than I got it, I haven't come close to it's towing limit, but it feels unimpeded towing a side by side and an ATV at the same time if that says anything, the Boss 6.2L is a good engine, wish I could put it in my Ranger
I own a 2019 f250 6.2 gasser and i was wondering if you ever experience a delayed start, does it take a little longer than normal to turn over on a hot summer day?
@@raulesparza5888 Yes. I am told that it is a valve or plunger that slowly leaks down and makes the fuel system have to build pressure again to be able to start. If you take it to the dealer, have them put a fuel pressure gauge on it while it is running and then shut the truck off. Whatever the pressure is when you shut it off, it should be the same in the morning if they let it sit all night. If it's not, have them replace it. It is supposed to be a common problem. I hope you are still under warranty.
I agree with you on the proven 6.2 & 6 speed combo. I just picked up a 2021 F250 and was stuck deciding between the 7.3 w/ the 10 speed or the 6.2 w/ the 6 speed. Went with the latter. If the 7.3 and 10 speed end up being proven to be as reliable, that will be my next purchase when the time comes.
I’ve got a 2019 with a 10 speed and it will shift rough if you don’t run it at 2,500 rpm’s. Or in eco mode. Just order my 2022 F250 with the 6.2 6 speed trans and I’m soooo excited
Great video man, perfect amount of information with a easy to listen to delivery. I’m a contractor and looking to go to full-size F-250 and I’m leaning hard towards the 6.2 L, because of the low cost of ownership reliability and affordability. I just Subscribe! Keep on roiling 👍
You can't go wrong with the 6.2. You being a contractor, you are needing a truck that will fire every time you turn the key. The 6.2 is the one that will do it.
Enjoyed the video. Went with a supercab shortbed F350, 4wd, 6.2L xl with camper & plow pkg. Needed a truck in July 2021, and it was on the lot. So far, it’s done quite well, the 10 sp really makes a difference. Mileage is abut the same as the 7.3, 15 mpg on highway. I probably would have gone with the 7.3 if it was on the lot, ordering new I was told would be a long lead time. As it turns out, 2 price increases since I bought mine, October 21 & Feb 15, 2022. Guess it worked out.Either way, happy with the truck.
I’ve had mine for 10 years with a plow and all it’s been is a moneymaking truck, only replaced brakes and a muffler, I paid for it in just one winter plowing, it’s been a beast of a truck….
Thinking the 7.3 does not have better internals but your right cheaper to build so more profit because trucks cost more every year. You made this vid 4 years ago so good for you, you had the foresight to see how the 7.3 was going to shake out. Finding lifter problems maybe from a low bid vendor supplier. Seems trucks made in 2020 with the 6.2 and the 10R140 are going to have the combo that people want used. Great vid.
@@joetijerinaiii7641 yea... Drive train without last a body. Keep up on rust prevention... Don't know what area you're in, but corrosion will probably be the death of the truck...
The 7.3 is a fleet HD engine , it’s already proven itself in preproduction fleet testing . It just needs the test of time like you said . There’s no way to test the thermal cycling and effects of age other than time.They went back to a cam in block OHV design for long term durability . I agree the 6.2/6 speed is a bargain powertrain and proven itself . If your towing heavy and don’t want a diesel the 7.3 /10 speed makes the most sense , otherwise the 6.2 is awesome . The 7.3 has a lot more torque a lot sooner than the 6.2 . It won’t have to shift on hills nearly as much . It will likely deliver better fuel economy towing and possibly empty as well. I’d like to see how a 3500 dual wheel with a 6.2 runs since it’s the only 6.2 to get a 10 speed auto.
What I like is the 2020 F350's with the 6.2 come with the new 10 speed trans and the pricing is great too. You can also get a free payload capacity down grade for free if you think the 350 is too stiff. I don't, but just saying.
Have you seen the videos showing issues with the 7.3? Your videos are really making me consider buying the 6.2 gas F250. I'm waiting to see the specs on the new 2022 tundra.
If I were to trade my 17 6.2 in today.. it would be another 6.2! Just get the 4.30 gears. I’m scheduled in just a few days to get my gears swapped. I put 35” tires on it and I feel it’s to much strain on the transmission. I pull a 12k lb camper.
I will say the 6.2 in my 2015 has been great since day 1 when I bought it. I started having misfires around 60k miles. Now I think I have a broken valve spring at 75k miles. I do not like the 6 speed, though most city driving I just turn off 6th gear. I was honestly thinking about a 7.3 godzilla to replace my 6.0 powerstroke and my 6.2
My '17, F-250, 6.2, 6 spd. trans pulls our 13K lb. 5th wheel all over the place. My brother had the same truck ('17, 6.2, 6 spd.) with a utility bed and had no issues with it. He sold that in 2022 and ordered a 2023 Platinum with the 7.3, 10 spd. and he hates how it shifts. The power is there but the shifting of that 10 speed is quirky. I think I'll stick with my '17, Super Duty.
I agree.. I bought my 2011 f250 4x4 6.2 with 125k mile about 3yrs ago..now has 201560 miles no problems awsome engine and transmission... would buy another any day
I have a 6.2 with 4:30 axles. F350, 2019, 6-spd auto. Pulls 16k lb trailer without issue. Gas mileage is horrible - 11 to 12 mixed unloaded, 7.5 mpg while towing.
Dan.Inspires, you will have to go with an F350 to get the 6.2 paired to the 10R140. The F250 and the F350 SRW are pretty much the same truck with the exception of the overload leaf on the f350 SRW, so I would go ahead and go with the 350.
@@jeffpiatek2461 FYI - I have two 2019 Super Duty trucks for sale. Truck 1 - 2019 F350 Lariat Ultimate / Lariat Sport - 6.2L V8 Magnetic color with 1787 miles located in Missouri. Truck 2 - 2019 F250 Lariat Ultimate - 6.2L V8 Stone Gray color with 464 miles located in Massachusetts...still on the dealer lot. Both trucks are loaded Lariat's with Twin Panel Moon Roof; Roof Clearance / Cab Lights; Upfitter (Auxillary) Switches: Rear Seat Heater, FX4: etc. The F250 has LED Headlights. Let me know if you are interested are if know someone that might be.
So I own 4 work trucks all F350 dual wheel with utility body’s all 2019. Two powerstrokes, two 6.2 liter gas. Both powerstrokes have needed turbos witching 50k miles which were covered under warranty and have been plagued with nonstop dpf issues. I would say that one goes to the dealer for a dpf problem every 2 months it’s ridiculous and I blame the poor quality DEF since Covid. I will be getting rid of both power strokes this year. The 2 gas trucks besides having to fill them up every 200 miles have been completely care free besides changing the oil. I’ve had to do nothing to these 2 trucks in 4 years they just run and make me money and that’s what I like. All the trucks have around 100k miles so far. I will be buying 2 new gas f350s and trading in the 2 diesels
Hey man good video. I agree people sleep on the 6.2. I have a 2017 that I’m having a big issue with. Have you had any issues with the intake runners? Mine are clacking bad. Can’t find much information on it. Everyone I talk to knows nothing. Ford says the part is backorderd with no delivery date avb. Really annoying problem. I love the truck aside from that. My 2013 6.2 has 230k no issues at all runs great no oil burning or ticking
I agree with pretty much everything said here, I hope to see the 7.3 become a future legend but the 6.2 is a fantastic engine...now what do I call a fantastic engine? One that gets the job done over and over for a stupid length of time 😁 I have my old 83 with a 300 i6 she didn't even blow a headgasket until 437000 miles at that point I went through it stuffed her back in the truck and still hop along the fields and is my fuel transfer vehicle so it gets some road work, next up my 03 f150 with the 4.62v , I got lucky in the since mine don't spit plugs through the hood, she currently has just a bit over 400000 miles and is my daily and has been for nearly 2 decades all original with surprisingly very little issues, basically alternator 4 times and intake gaskets once and timing set once..soon to be twice but honastly il probably just rebuild or replace the whole thing at this point in milage...so with all that being "the curve" I think the 6.2 is a great farm addition for the times being what they are ,I'm looking into a chassis cab model reg cab with obviously a flat bed...oh and forgot to mention the "family"car... A LeSabre with the invincible 3800 300000 miles on the engine with just intake gaskets, alternator,waterpump and a multitude of ignition modules...now the rest of the car has been ah soso,on 2nd transmission ,2nd fuel pump and a few things but none the less I maintenance and drive shit till there is nothing left so I'm opting for the 6.2 f350 chAssis cab
Good information, Good Presentation. I have an F-250, 6.8 V-10. A different beast all together. Had it 19 years…no issues great truck. Ford still produces it for busses and Motorhomes ?…go figure Thanks
Idk why the 3 valves get all the hate, my 2004 has been nothing but perfect with all the hard miles towing all these years, never had any issue, just Maintenance
Minus the common warped exhaust manifold I have had no problems with my 3v 5.4 in my 07. Can't say the same for the rest of the truck but I still love it. Mobil 1 5w-20 whole life.
I'm running the old 3v 5.4 triton in an f350 and I will say for snow plowing its not a bad truck but it is a gutless wimpy as engine!! I have a silverado reg cab short bed 1500 that I plow with as well and that truck has the 5.3 vortec and has way more power. It gets better traction as well. The f350 getting on the highway sucks the acceleration is horrible. I would have gone to a powerstroke but 2003 to 2007 psd have way to many problems and so do the 08-10 6.4 psd. I will say the 6.4 diesel is a powerhouse though! Next truck is definitely a diesel 6.7 plowing snow is so much more comfortable in a diesel I think because of the power off idle!
I just bought an 11 F150 Platinum with 186K/ Have to remind myself every day it is an old truck because it runs so nice. The Ford place I got a state inspection said it may be on road longer than some of the new stuff the sell. Guess it is just broken in :lol:.
I've got a 2011 6.2l crew cab and flatbed with the 3.55. Has almost 170k and sounds like a sewing machine. I'm seeing a lot of 6.2l with 300k+ so I think this truck will last my life time as I only put a couple thousand on it a year just when I need a serious truck to do some work.
Just got the 2019 F-350 6.2L, been tryiing to brake it in but not beat on it and Im around 12-14 MPG at 8,000 miles. Yet to do a long highway run because of corona but I got a 1200 mile trip to Louisiana for work come June, will let you know how that goes! My friends with the ecoboost kinda laugh i upgraded but they think their F-150 can max tow, very unsafe as I bought a 41' travel trailer for work that weighs 9,000 lbs dry. F-350 is way safer! and my F-150 sat on the ground.
Todd Willoughby that’s not the greatest but what we get for going gas. I got 7/8 MPH pulling a 12,000 pound travel trailer from MInnesota to Louisiana. Seemed like it needed to hit the full RPM around 4800 when that kicks in to get up the hills tho. Been nice ride but holy with the tire pressure do you feel every bump
I'm looking at a 2015 f250 with a 6.2 with 264k mile. your thoughts. if they are highway miles, should I be worried about having to replace the engine or trany with that many miles? Thanks
Because there will always be a draw of power from your battery, I hooked mine hot wire to the alternator on my trucks my alternator had a bolt on top that only turns hot only when the truck is running last December I noticed over time when I started the truck it was getting a little sluggish, I hope this makes sense
Yep, agree. I would have ordered a 2020 if I had known they would carry the engine over. I ordered 2019 6.2/4.30 in July 2019 because I figured they would do away with it. I'm still up; it was about $2000 more to build and price a 2020 as it was the 2019 that i ordered.
Charles Castle My F-350 2020 Lariat 4x4 has has the 10 speed with the 3.73 gears, with all those gears I’ve found it works good under load, and Hiway gas mileage really shines, 90 percent of my driving is without load so for me anyway the 3.73 is better
Then 10 speed in The HD line are not the same as a 150 its way stronger to handle the torque of the 6.7 PS i read its rated at 1400 ft lbs. ...the 150 10 speed 590 ft lbs. Good news if you want to supercharge your 6.2..lol...
The 10R140 is a part of that partnership between GM and Ford, but it only shares some ideas, rather than design, with the light duty 10 speed. The 10R140 and the Allison 10L1000 are pretty much the same transmission. The only differences between the 10R140 that you get with the Powerstroke and the 10R140 that you get with the gas engines is the gas engines lose a couple of clutch plates from a couple of the packs, and lose 1 pinion gear from 2 of the planetary gear sets.
All the videos I see get about 15-16 mpg. My 2011 with the 6 speed gets 14.5 back and forth to work and 8-10 towing a car trailer. 10 speed is 0.5-1 mpg better
Depends on rear axle ratio. My 2020 F350 has the 4.30 gears, and in a mix of city/highway driving, with 700 miles on the OD, I am getting around 13.3 mpg. That number will increase, I am sure, in a few thousand miles, once everything gets loosened up.
Good truck Fords 10 speed transmission good luck gas is better 5 more miles per gallon but trouble whith the transmission windshield recalls wiper arms also slipping into drive on some of the 2022and 2024
Where are the camshaft position sensors located on an f250 gas engine 2015 brand please help there are a lot of misleading information on TH-cam about where the camshaft position sensors are thank you so much for your time
Can anyone compare this engine with a 5.7L V8 (3UR-FE) in my Toyota Tundra? It seems they get fairly similar performance, but I know little about truck engines. Which would be more reliable over hundreds of thousands of miles? I know they're both gas hogs, which is unfortunate, but understandable. I see the 6.2L Boss has dual spark plugs. I'd imagine that increases maintenance costs over the Tundra. Also, how easy is it to maintain the F350 Super Duty over a Tundra with a 5.7L V8? I know I'm more focused on the engine itself. But, what about the overall vehicles? Thank you.
just bought this truck with the 6.2, ive never had a big V8 like that but I notice a ticking noise in the valves. I wouldnt consider it a lifter, i was just wondering if anyone else has this? Is that just the way the motor is?
I'll keep my 2v v10 just a few bolt ons and a tune and it makes the same or more power than the 6.2 with far less money in maintenance....also it's paid off. Don't have to worry about twice the amount of spark plugs or even the possibility of a cam phaser shitting the bed or a valve spring going bad and taking out the whole engine.

I’m thinking about ordering one this coming year, was considering the 7.3 but I’m thinking the 6.2 would serve me better..
I'm a Mopar guy I have to say I was somewhat impressed when I torn a 6.2 apart
6 bolt main caps, cross drilled,
Looks like a 1000 HP block to me
You weren’t impressed with those beautiful splayed valve, ohc heads?
This basic 6.2 architecture has more untapped potential than ALL of the modern pushrods.
Give this engine the Godzilla’s 4.22 bore diameter (Godzilla and Boss share the same bore spacing), up the valve and port sizes to match, up the compression and this Boss would have been one BAD bitch.
@@BC08 It is an overbuilt crown vic engine. Pretty much a large 4.6L 2V with a reliable VVT.
@@alb12345672 Yeah, it physically looks like a Modular but has 4.53 inch bore spacing.
And Boss heads looking nothing like 4.2 2V heads.
The 6.2 heads are pure opposed-valve awesomeness.
@@BC08 Agreed, the heads/valve train are very different in design. But the modular spirit is there.
@@alb12345672 Right. Boss is an amazing performance architecture it just needed a little more development and an aluminum block.
Thinking back I wish Ford would have gone all in on the Boss instead of the Coyote for 2011.
Just think about: 11:1 5.8 or 6.2L 2V for the GT/F150, 12:1 6.2 4V w/ TiVCT for Boss/Mach, supercharged 6.2 4V w/ TiVCT for the GT500.
12:1 7.0L 4V w/ TiVCT for the GT350
12:1 6.2L 2V or 4V with GDI for 2018 Mustang/F150
I have had my 6.2 F350 since new in 2014 and love it. I haven't had a single issue with the engine or transmission, and i tow quite a bit. In the summer im hauling round bales which is about 21,000 GCW and in the fall i pull our grain trailer which i have had just over 34,000 GCW, and it pulls everything no problem at all.
Still don't have problems? Lol
I have a 2015 6.2 gas, bought brand new. I own a civil construction company. I’ve used this truck to tow a 6 ton excavator, 6 ton skid steer, pulling out stuck dump trucks etc. on a daily basis! Not just once here and there. 120k miles and only replaced a the battery, doesn’t burn a drop of oil. Still runs like when it was new, only downside is that it’s a total fuel hog. Good solid truck though. No problem towing 16k just wants to be wound up high RPM.
You're really putting it to work!
6.2l has been one of the most reliable modern Ford Engine.
Happy to hear that... I just bought a 2017 f350
You are not wrong, there. There is a guy that occasionally posts on the Ford Truck Enthusiasts forum that runs hotshot with a 6.2 powered flatbed dually... ran his 6.2l for 418,000 miles before having a cam lose a lobe. He put in a remanufactured engine, and the last time that he posted, he had 760k miles on the truck with the original rear end gear and transmission, and the reman engine is working great.
My dad bought a 2015 f250 with 30k. It blew up with 80k. He looking at a 2020. Why????
@@85funnyguy I mean there is always that line one that has a major problem. For the most part though the 6.2 is one of the best modern ford engines.
That's not saying much, unfortunately.
Because of this channel, I've discovered the 6.2 L V8 gas engine... saving my money to go get me one asap.
Just pulled the trigger on a 19 F250 Super Duty 4x4 love the look and power, but what really made up my mind was the tried and proven engine and transmission, unlike all these newer engines, we know nothing about yet... thought about the 7.3, almost bought the Hemi, almost bought the 6.6L GMC but I found a great deal on one of these and saved myself 10k-15k+ and a whole lot of headaches. If I found another one with relitivly low miles for a great price Id buy another! Thanks for your vids recommending the 6.2 Super Duty .... Tons of power and reliability love this truck!
Just traded in my 2023 Kia telluride for a 19 F 250 super 6.2 with 20k miles on it, Best decision l ever made.
6.2 is the power Ford pickups have always needed. The 5.4's were gutless. 6.2 is a beast
I have a 2011 6.2 gasser. I was told by a Ford tech that these motors were built for high rpm. The stroke is shorter so it can handle high rpm and not to be afraid of punching it up a hill. I get mine up to 5500 rpm's and it really flies.
Rpm doesn't hurt em!
That's one noisy engine though at 5500 RPMs.
Where I work, almost the entire fleet is F250's with the 6.2. They just recently replaced the last old F250 in the fleet (which was the one I was using) for a brand new F250. Very reliable and powerful engine. To tell you the truth, I don't see the need in the 7.3. This engine has more than enough guts to do above and beyond its capabilities. One thing I do like (and probably most people don't know this) is that the 6.2 is like a modern day SOHC "cammer" from the past. It has a Hemi-like layout which is great for flow. It's hard to believe this engine doesn't have much aftermarket support and, it's a shame because it's been proving itself worthy of it too.
This is typical Ford to be honest.
They’ll produce the best engine architecture of the day but never really develop it then let it rot on the vine.
The 6.2 really is a modern day cammer.
It’s has the same bore spacing as Godzilla - a wider bore spacing than both LS and new Hemi - and splayed valve layout like a Hemi but getting rid of those pushrods allows for a perfect intake port.
They treated this 6.2 just like the Cleveland (which was also architecturally superior to SBC and SBM of the day) when they SHOULD have introduced a larger bore/larger valve version 6.2 with an aluminum block and stuck it in GT500 and Raptor back in 2015.
@@BC08 it's a shame there isn't much aftermarket support for this engine. I'd love to see an all out build on one of these.
@@iceman45ification1 There was one back around 2011. It made 850 HP at 6.2 liters. More than Brian Wolfe’s 790 HP aluminum rod, 12:1 Godzilla build.
There was also Don Bowles’ 777, that thing was a monster.
@@BC08 Holy crap!! 😳
Thank you Shaun from another Shaun. Just sealed thinking. Bought a 6.4 power stroke...yah, made a mistake. Already going to get rid of and back to gas. Was on fence about the 7.3. good points made. Thnx
Solid review man. I did things a little backwards in that I bought an Airstream 23-footer then decided on my truck. Based on a bunch of old timers opinions and experiences and how little I take the trailer out maybe three four times a year I decided on 2012 Ford f250 6.2 l gas engine with extra seats in the back.
So far it has a hundred and seven thousand miles on it and not a peep.
I know three guys with diesels and all of them have broke down one way or another. One poor guy both of his diesels crapped out and he was looking at $8,000 to fix both of them. He traded them in and bought a new 2019 diesel which left me scratching my head.
It rides kind of rough as I came from a Lexus RX 350. Lol, but I have no complaints as I've put 3,000 lb of gravel in the back of the truck and rides really smooth then. My wife on the other hand can't stand the truck loll, but understands.
I love the ride height, the power and the convenience of having an extra seats in the back for my dogs and daughter and her friends every once in awhile. An all-around solid truck.
I agree 100% that the 6.2 has been a phenomenally reliable engine. The 7.3 will just continue that - less complexity - less to go wrong - time will tell but i'd be willing to bet it will turn out to be a legendary engine.
7.3 is too little, too late. Coming in right as the ICE is being phased out and it doesn’t tread any new ground .
I have a 2019 f250 with a 6.2. 43000 miles. With a service bed. Very little highway miles. Solid truck.
Tony Moon I’m planning on buying an f250 with a 6.2 engine in it but doesn’t have the dual batteries or is it the f350 the only one with the dual batteries
my F250 6.2 is a 2012 with 215k miles and still running strong.
I have a 2012 F-250 Heavyduty Crew Cab with the 6.2L 6 speed and i LOVE it, except for the gas Mileage. Im averaging 14 - 15mpg not pulling anything. If i put my 20ftx8.5ftx7.5ft cargo trailer that i converted into an apartment on wheels, i only get 9.5-10mpg. But there is no problem pulling it... can barely tell im even pulling it. The 6.2L is a great engine... 110,000 never an issue at all.
The 6.2 and the 4.30 rear end is SOLID. Great platform and at these weights, fuel economy is out the window. Save a few grand and if you dont NEED the 7.3 or Powerstroke, itll serve you well for a long time.
What kind of gas mileage does the 6.2 get? how does the axle ratio affect the mileage? Thanks
Good video. I agree the 6.2L is a good engine. I am planning to move away from the 6.7 Diesel for the 6.2 Gasser. Love the Diesel and it has been a solid performer for me on the 2016 f-250 SD. That said, the Diesel is more truck than I need most days. The 6.2 fits the bill and will save money. Just one man's opinion.
I did the same. I've had a duramax, cummins and 6.0 powerstroke.
My 2017 F250 6.2L has been the most reliable. Bought brand new off the lot Nov 2017. 95k miles now. Total downtime, 5 days.
@@maxennis6368 what was your down time for? I have 55,650 on mine ford just told me yesterday that the trans, gears dont need an oil change till it hits 100,000.
The fact that I can see the valve covers (on 6.2 and 7.3) is awesome. I'm older school in a way of I appreciate being able to change the spark-plugs
Amen on that!! It's not that much worse then looking down the sides of the old 360 in my 73 f250. Can see the ground on both
Also the 6.2L Boss V8 can also be a great swap for an old school muscle car or hot rod or even an Old school F100.
I have '19 with 6.2 and 4.30 combo. It will get up and go but its also a thirsty combo even unloaded. I only get around 15mpg on the highway. Hoping it gets better as it breaks in. Although I did a test with a 16 foot enclosed tandem axle trailer loaded with 2800lb car and ran 100 mile loop comparing my f250 against my '07 f150 (3v 3.73 ratio). Both were topped off at the same pump to make things as apples to apples. There was less than 50 cents difference in fuel between the two at the end of the test. However, the f250 handled the trailer as if there was nothing back there. It was amazing how little sway there was around big rigs and side wind gusts. I've had many years towing with my f150 and its no slouch towing but it definitely has more motion transfer from the trailer to truck even with a properly balanced 5000 lbs trailer which is well under its 9400lb tow capacity.
3.73 with the 6.2 isn't much better mpg
spyder000069 I have a 2015 F350 4x4 CC 8 foot bed I can get 15 if I’m careful and I have 3.73 rearend. I love the power moves out for a 7000 lb truck
I bought a used 2013 F-150 FX-4 6.2L about a year ago and I love it, it's fast and powerful so far 108,000 miles, only issue I've had so far was the water pump going out, and since runs even better than I got it, I haven't come close to it's towing limit, but it feels unimpeded towing a side by side and an ATV at the same time if that says anything, the Boss 6.2L is a good engine, wish I could put it in my Ranger
nice truck, loving the dual battery setup
I bought a 6.2 2019 F250 new last November for these very reasons...proven engine and proven transmission. I opted for the 3.73 gears however.
I own a 2019 f250 6.2 gasser and i was wondering if you ever experience a delayed start, does it take a little longer than normal to turn over on a hot summer day?
@@raulesparza5888 Yes. I am told that it is a valve or plunger that slowly leaks down and makes the fuel system have to build pressure again to be able to start. If you take it to the dealer, have them put a fuel pressure gauge on it while it is running and then shut the truck off. Whatever the pressure is when you shut it off, it should be the same in the morning if they let it sit all night. If it's not, have them replace it. It is supposed to be a common problem. I hope you are still under warranty.
I agree with you on the proven 6.2 & 6 speed combo. I just picked up a 2021 F250 and was stuck deciding between the 7.3 w/ the 10 speed or the 6.2 w/ the 6 speed. Went with the latter. If the 7.3 and 10 speed end up being proven to be as reliable, that will be my next purchase when the time comes.
I’ve got a 2019 with a 10 speed and it will shift rough if you don’t run it at 2,500 rpm’s. Or in eco mode. Just order my 2022 F250 with the 6.2 6 speed trans and I’m soooo excited
Great video man, perfect amount of information with a easy to listen to delivery.
I’m a contractor and looking to go to full-size F-250 and I’m leaning hard towards the 6.2 L, because of the low cost of ownership reliability and affordability.
I just Subscribe! Keep on roiling 👍
You can't go wrong with the 6.2. You being a contractor, you are needing a truck that will fire every time you turn the key. The 6.2 is the one that will do it.
I agree.
Enjoyed the video. Went with a supercab shortbed F350, 4wd, 6.2L xl with camper & plow pkg. Needed a truck in July 2021, and it was on the lot. So far, it’s done quite well, the 10 sp really makes a difference. Mileage is abut the same as the 7.3, 15 mpg on highway. I probably would have gone with the 7.3 if it was on the lot, ordering new I was told would be a long lead time. As it turns out, 2 price increases since I bought mine, October 21 & Feb 15, 2022. Guess it worked out.Either way, happy with the truck.
I’ve had mine for 10 years with a plow and all it’s been is a moneymaking truck, only replaced brakes and a muffler, I paid for it in just one winter plowing, it’s been a beast of a truck….
Thinking the 7.3 does not have better internals but your right cheaper to build so more profit because trucks cost more every year. You made this vid 4 years ago so good for you, you had the foresight to see how the 7.3 was going to shake out. Finding lifter problems maybe from a low bid vendor supplier. Seems trucks made in 2020 with the 6.2 and the 10R140 are going to have the combo that people want used. Great vid.
Just bought a F350 2011 Xl with 58,000 miles it’s a dually my first super duty with the 6.2 I love my truck

@@joetijerinaiii7641 but you'll get a lot of life out of it for sure. If you take care of it , it should go 300,000 plus...
The 7.3 is a fleet HD engine , it’s already proven itself in preproduction fleet testing . It just needs the test of time like you said . There’s no way to test the thermal cycling and effects of age other than time.They went back to a cam in block OHV design for long term durability . I agree the 6.2/6 speed is a bargain powertrain and proven itself . If your towing heavy and don’t want a diesel the 7.3 /10 speed makes the most sense , otherwise the 6.2 is awesome . The 7.3 has a lot more torque a lot sooner than the 6.2 . It won’t have to shift on hills nearly as much . It will likely deliver better fuel economy towing and possibly empty as well. I’d like to see how a 3500 dual wheel with a 6.2 runs since it’s the only 6.2 to get a 10 speed auto.
3500 6.2 10speed would be great.... Enough power to get the job done... I hear they are working on a smaller version of the 7.3 to replace the 6.2...
All 350s come with the 10 speed.
Ohya that’s why this motor was in the first gen raptor, she ain’t no joke
What I like is the 2020 F350's with the 6.2 come with the new 10 speed trans and the pricing is great too.
You can also get a free payload capacity down grade for free if you think the 350 is too stiff.
I don't, but just saying.
That is what I custom ordered for my 2020. F350 STX CCSB, 4x4, 6.2 and the 4.30 rear gear. It is perfect!
I could be wrong but I think the payload downgrade is just on paper to keep registration costs down.
7.3 was the only reason I bought a super duty. I hate fords but you can’t argue with the most powerful gas motor offered in an HD.
How is it so far? What gear ratio did u get?
It’s ok, power is equal to my tundra. My wife drives it for the horse farm. It’s a crew cab f350 stx 4x4 with 3.73’s.
Have you seen the videos showing issues with the 7.3? Your videos are really making me consider buying the 6.2 gas F250. I'm waiting to see the specs on the new 2022 tundra.
I seen them. Looks relatively minor. I will say the 6.2 is a great engine, If you get one try to find 4.30 gears.
The 7.3 only comes with that shitty ten speed transmission, go with the 6.2 or even the 6.7 as long as it’s got a 6 speed transmission.
@@joeshmoe8952 I think you are right.Sounds like the 10 spd is fishing for gears under load
If I were to trade my 17 6.2 in today.. it would be another 6.2! Just get the 4.30 gears. I’m scheduled in just a few days to get my gears swapped. I put 35” tires on it and I feel it’s to much strain on the transmission. I pull a 12k lb camper.
I will say the 6.2 in my 2015 has been great since day 1 when I bought it. I started having misfires around 60k miles. Now I think I have a broken valve spring at 75k miles. I do not like the 6 speed, though most city driving I just turn off 6th gear. I was honestly thinking about a 7.3 godzilla to replace my 6.0 powerstroke and my 6.2
My '17, F-250, 6.2, 6 spd. trans pulls our 13K lb. 5th wheel all over the place. My brother had the same truck ('17, 6.2, 6 spd.) with a utility bed and had no issues with it. He sold that in 2022 and ordered a 2023 Platinum with the 7.3, 10 spd. and he hates how it shifts. The power is there but the shifting of that 10 speed is quirky. I think I'll stick with my '17, Super Duty.
I agree.. I bought my 2011 f250 4x4 6.2 with 125k mile about 3yrs ago..now has 201560 miles no problems awsome engine and transmission... would buy another any day

@@leardi58 no
I’ve heard that you can, do you think the 10 speed would help the gas consumption, miles per gallon? If so, how much?
Dan.Inspires, you will have to go with an F350 to get the 6.2 paired to the 10R140. The F250 and the F350 SRW are pretty much the same truck with the exception of the overload leaf on the f350 SRW, so I would go ahead and go with the 350.
10 speed are garbage transmissions, just look at all the youtube videos people made showing all those lemon issues with that transmission.

So I own 4 work trucks all F350 dual wheel with utility body’s all 2019. Two powerstrokes, two 6.2 liter gas. Both powerstrokes have needed turbos witching 50k miles which were covered under warranty and have been plagued with nonstop dpf issues. I would say that one goes to the dealer for a dpf problem every 2 months it’s ridiculous and I blame the poor quality DEF since Covid. I will be getting rid of both power strokes this year. The 2 gas trucks besides having to fill them up every 200 miles have been completely care free besides changing the oil. I’ve had to do nothing to these 2 trucks in 4 years they just run and make me money and that’s what I like. All the trucks have around 100k miles so far. I will be buying 2 new gas f350s and trading in the 2 diesels
Hey man good video. I agree people sleep on the 6.2. I have a 2017 that I’m having a big issue with. Have you had any issues with the intake runners? Mine are clacking bad. Can’t find much information on it. Everyone I talk to knows nothing. Ford says the part is backorderd with no delivery date avb. Really annoying problem. I love the truck aside from that. My 2013 6.2 has 230k no issues at all runs great no oil burning or ticking
I agree with pretty much everything said here, I hope to see the 7.3 become a future legend but the 6.2 is a fantastic engine...now what do I call a fantastic engine? One that gets the job done over and over for a stupid length of time 😁 I have my old 83 with a 300 i6 she didn't even blow a headgasket until 437000 miles at that point I went through it stuffed her back in the truck and still hop along the fields and is my fuel transfer vehicle so it gets some road work, next up my 03 f150 with the 4.62v , I got lucky in the since mine don't spit plugs through the hood, she currently has just a bit over 400000 miles and is my daily and has been for nearly 2 decades all original with surprisingly very little issues, basically alternator 4 times and intake gaskets once and timing set once..soon to be twice but honastly il probably just rebuild or replace the whole thing at this point in milage...so with all that being "the curve" I think the 6.2 is a great farm addition for the times being what they are ,I'm looking into a chassis cab model reg cab with obviously a flat bed...oh and forgot to mention the "family"car... A LeSabre with the invincible 3800 300000 miles on the engine with just intake gaskets, alternator,waterpump and a multitude of ignition modules...now the rest of the car has been ah soso,on 2nd transmission ,2nd fuel pump and a few things but none the less I maintenance and drive shit till there is nothing left so I'm opting for the 6.2 f350 chAssis cab

I have a silverado reg cab short bed 1500 that I plow with as well and that truck has the 5.3 vortec and has way more power. It gets better traction as well. The f350 getting on the highway sucks the acceleration is horrible. I would have gone to a powerstroke but 2003 to 2007 psd have way to many problems and so do the 08-10 6.4 psd. I will say the 6.4 diesel is a powerhouse though! Next truck is definitely a diesel 6.7 plowing snow is so much more comfortable in a diesel I think because of the power off idle!

Just got the 2019 F-350 6.2L, been tryiing to brake it in but not beat on it and Im around 12-14 MPG at 8,000 miles. Yet to do a long highway run because of corona but I got a 1200 mile trip to Louisiana for work come June, will let you know how that goes! My friends with the ecoboost kinda laugh i upgraded but they think their F-150 can max tow, very unsafe as I bought a 41' travel trailer for work that weighs 9,000 lbs dry. F-350 is way safer! and my F-150 sat on the ground.
12 empty?
I have a 2019 6.2 (Lariat,FX4, CCSB) also. Im getting 12-15mpg as well unloaded. I get around 9-10mpg towing a 7K lb travel trailer.
loving me some outdoors yeah 12-15 not pulling depending upon how you drive
Todd Willoughby that’s not the greatest but what we get for going gas. I got 7/8 MPH pulling a 12,000 pound travel trailer from MInnesota to Louisiana. Seemed like it needed to hit the full RPM around 4800 when that kicks in to get up the hills tho. Been nice ride but holy with the tire pressure do you feel every bump
I'm looking at a 2015 f250 with a 6.2 with 264k mile. your thoughts. if they are highway miles, should I be worried about having to replace the engine or trany with that many miles? Thanks
btw, it is just rear wheel drive.
Can a 6.2 be put in a 2011 E250 van
may we as what was your walk out price for that truck?
53000 after a plan and WITH a $8000 plow. I think 3000 cash down.
Where did you connect the positive lead for your plow battery or alternator.?
Battery.
Because there will always be a draw of power from your battery, I hooked mine hot wire to the alternator on my trucks my alternator had a bolt on top that only turns hot only when the truck is running last December I noticed over time when I started the truck it was getting a little sluggish, I hope this makes sense
@@tlstanbro3193 if it works, I have 2 batteries tho.
I'm looking at getting a 2015 f250 6.2L . . . 54,000 miles on it. Srw xl any help would be awesome, recommendations. . . .. ????
Great truck and drivetrain
I got a 2017 f 350 just replaced fuel pump but still crank no start
Is this the same engine found in the Ford E350 that are found in some smaller motorhomes?
Idk
Yes but they are usually tuned differently.
There is 30 feet of burnt rubber on my street from my 2020 6.2l I didnt even try to leave it there😮
Im reading many good things about this 6.2 but not much about the crappy intakes. If only I knew before I baught one.
One problem the 6.2 has is blowing spark plugs. Mine is a 12 F350 with 188k miles. And lots of idle hours.
How likely are you gonna needing to change spark plugs?
100 percent chance they will need to be changed at some point
Same mpg's more power old school push rod design is why people go for the 7.3 godzilla.
Yep, agree. I would have ordered a 2020 if I had known they would carry the engine over. I ordered 2019 6.2/4.30 in July 2019 because I figured they would do away with it. I'm still up; it was about $2000 more to build and price a 2020 as it was the 2019 that i ordered.
400k on my 6.2 and still strong pull 10k plus’s with it everyday for work
Get the 350 6.2 and 10 speed are standard..comes with 3.73 gears.
Charles Castle My F-350 2020 Lariat 4x4 has has the 10 speed with the 3.73 gears, with all those gears I’ve found it works good under load, and Hiway gas mileage really shines, 90 percent of my driving is without load so for me anyway the 3.73 is better
My 2020 6.2 ticks all the time. Some say it is normal, I hate it. Thoughts?
It shouldn't be ticking too loud. Maybe a little on startup. Anything more than that might be a different issue. Could be a roller issue. 🤔
@@DS-TRUCKS 15000 miles, I'll take it in to Ford. Been doing it since day one 🤷🏻
Intake manifold? th-cam.com/users/shortszKgOu_iPnN4?si=9FR0CMdfB7XKagnJ
I believe the 10 speed in the 7.3 is a completely different transmission than the GM/Ford partnered transmission in the F-150s.
It's got some better components inside of it for sure
It is a Torqueshift trans and has nothing in common with the half ton 10 speed, two completely different trans
Then 10 speed in The HD line are not the same as a 150 its way stronger to handle the torque of the 6.7 PS i read its rated at 1400 ft lbs. ...the 150 10 speed 590 ft lbs.
Good news if you want to supercharge your 6.2..lol...
The 10R140 is a part of that partnership between GM and Ford, but it only shares some ideas, rather than design, with the light duty 10 speed. The 10R140 and the Allison 10L1000 are pretty much the same transmission. The only differences between the 10R140 that you get with the Powerstroke and the 10R140 that you get with the gas engines is the gas engines lose a couple of clutch plates from a couple of the packs, and lose 1 pinion gear from 2 of the planetary gear sets.
Does the 6.2l not have a transmission fluid dipstick?
It does have a dipstick, but it's underneath and you have to call under to check it. It's very short dipstick.
@@DS-TRUCKS mine has one right by the oil dipstick did they get rid of it on the newer ones
How do I run a dual battery in my 2019 f350 6.2 you did that yourself or is it a kit?
It was factory. But I'm sure you can find the parts. All oem
I want to say the 6.7 battery box bolts in
@@TheBeeMan1994 I believe the coolant reservoir is in a different location with dual batteries.
Connect positive to positive and negative to negative. Voltage stays the same but amperage increases.
What is the f350 with the 6.2 10 speed getting for MPG"s? Does any one know?
I have the F250 with the 6.2 and I get about 11.5 mpg unloaded. The F350 should be very similar as the only real difference is an extra leaf spring.
All the videos I see get about 15-16 mpg. My 2011 with the 6 speed gets 14.5 back and forth to work and 8-10 towing a car trailer. 10 speed is 0.5-1 mpg better
@@keshmo12 Good info thanks!
Depends on rear axle ratio. My 2020 F350 has the 4.30 gears, and in a mix of city/highway driving, with 700 miles on the OD, I am getting around 13.3 mpg. That number will increase, I am sure, in a few thousand miles, once everything gets loosened up.
@@racerboi77j what engine?
Good truck Fords 10 speed transmission good luck gas is better 5 more miles per gallon but trouble whith the transmission windshield recalls wiper arms also slipping into drive on some of the 2022and 2024
Where are the camshaft position sensors located on an f250 gas engine 2015 brand please help there are a lot of misleading information on TH-cam about where the camshaft position sensors are thank you so much for your time
Idk
its the ford raptor engine. de-tuned.
I really don't understand why there isn't even boltons for this truck.
Can anyone compare this engine with a 5.7L V8 (3UR-FE) in my Toyota Tundra?
It seems they get fairly similar performance, but I know little about truck engines.
Which would be more reliable over hundreds of thousands of miles?
I know they're both gas hogs, which is unfortunate, but understandable.
I see the 6.2L Boss has dual spark plugs. I'd imagine that increases maintenance costs over the Tundra.
Also, how easy is it to maintain the F350 Super Duty over a Tundra with a 5.7L V8? I know I'm more focused on the engine itself. But, what about the overall vehicles?
Thank you.
Is anyone having problems getting parts for these motors? I do know it is hard to find replacement motors for these in my area.
Did you add the second battery
Ordered from the factory this way.
Do you have the death wobble?
No u?
No, i was going to look at a used 2019 f250. After seeing all these cases of the death wobble, i am second guessing about looking at the truck.
@@JTADVENTURE2 it's pretty rare.
How many miles do you have on yours?
13000. All working and plowing snow.
I have one of these in my 150 :p
just bought this truck with the 6.2, ive never had a big V8 like that but I notice a ticking noise in the valves. I wouldnt consider it a lifter, i was just wondering if anyone else has this? Is that just the way the motor is?
Could be a lifter. Have the oil and filter analyzed. See if there's any metal in there.
They are noisier engines for sure.

How do I know if I have 4.30 gears ? I have 2016 f250 6.2
You'll be around 2,500 RPM at 80 mph.
I'll keep my 2v v10 just a few bolt ons and a tune and it makes the same or more power than the 6.2 with far less money in maintenance....also it's paid off. Don't have to worry about twice the amount of spark plugs or even the possibility of a cam phaser shitting the bed or a valve spring going bad and taking out the whole engine.
Well now aint'chu just a speshall bach a cooky dO?
@@rockheadesq.8720 no idea what you are trying to say there.
I think the 7.3L will be as good as the GM vortec motors million mile ones
A man of faith 🙏
No it's a ford will have one poor designed part deep inside that fails all the time.
Imagine if Ford makes a pushrod 5.4 in 2021 or 2022 for their 250s & 350s
