we both know im not talking about the failures related to owners but properly maintained engines at 0% fault of the owner as is with most of the cases of 6.oh no failures.
you can defend the engine all you want but you can't change facts.anyone can find countless upon countless of those engine failures all across the net which were even meticulously well maintained via their ford dealers.
“Ultimately, Ford sued its engine supplier, Navistar, for $493 million for what it termed ‘exceptionally high repair rates and warranty costs due to quality problems attributable to Navistar,’ including ‘design flaws,’” the class action lawsuit continues.
The defective Ford engine class action lawsuit says Ford documents show that (1) Ford knew about issues regarding the 6.0L Engine even before the engine’s launch; (2) the same core concerns persisted throughout Ford’s production and sale of the 6.0L Engine; (3) Ford never had a “definitive repair action” for these issues; (4) most, if not all of these concerns had a “common cause;” and (5) Ford ultimately adopted a band-aid approach to reduce its “warranty spend,” without addressing the “common causes” of these problems.
The Ford defective 6.0L diesel engine class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all California entities and residents who currently own or lease (or previously owned or leased) a vehicle with a Ford 6.0L diesel engine. It is seeking numerous damages, including:
- Out-of-pocket damages for engine repair/service;
- Deductibles paid when repairs were covered by warranty;
- Towing charges incurred from having incapacitated vehicles towed in for repair;
- Lost profits from the inability to use vehicles when the engine failed, the vehicle being stored at a Ford dealership awaiting repair, or the vehicle being insufficiently reliable to be put into service;
- Cost to overhaul or replace the defective 6.0L Engines;
- Diminution in value of the vehicles due to the defect;
- Decreased trade-in or selling value; and more.
you can pretend the above isn't true.you can pretend it didn't happen and blame all or most of the owners you want, but the fact is going to remain.it was the worst diesel engine to have ever been placed in the f-series pickup.......by a landslide.
i have and always will warn the idi community who haven't researched the engine who ask about it.there's no way id want anyone to walk into and end up with such high repair bills and go deep into debt.regardless with a few testimonials like yours.the risk to reward simply isn't there.6.oh no trucks are valueless for very,very good reason.
. I have heard of people having good and bad luck with them. My dad blew a 03 up just after 20k. He ended up leaving it at the restaurant where it died and walked to work that day 
. But then I know a guy that fixed the oil pump, egr cooler, and turbo and it has been the most reliable truck he has ever owned. I would not be scared to own one. A debate is a debate. Nobody will ever win the argument.....they will just end up making themselves looking like an idiot after it's all said and done. 
Gonna be fancy looking! I am doing other things while the engine is out ya know? I miss the smile on my face everytime the turbo would spool and that black haze was rolling ever so smooth out of the tail pipe..... What is really fun is when you accelerate and the turbo boost hasn't caught up yet so there is A LOT of smoke outta the rear end till the boost catches up, puts a 
on my face, unless there is a Prius behind me, then its more like this 
I know, thats mean... I can't help it though
