I accidently put urea in my gas tank earlier this year and drove about 20 miles until my truck went into limp mode
I called the dealership and they said you just made a $14,000 mistake
after a month in the shop and only $100 out of my pocket to fix my 2014 F-250 is running like a champ with a complete new fuel system

I got a 2012 with 87k miles. I'm on my third engine. Transmissions having problems, shift solenoids are going to crap, jumping when it down shifts. Already had them replaced, and new ones lasted about a month. Having all kinds of sensor problems. It goes in the shop just about once a month. Last week the water in fuel sensor went out. I've had bad luck with it, but its free, so its not out of my pocket. The company has lots of fords, and has spent a lot of money on repairs, 6.4s and 6.7s. I know there were three of them broke down last weak. I knows its cost them enough to stop buying fords, cause all the new one are dodges.

That's not true, and if it is he might be the biggest idiot on the road I don't doubt it. With a bypass/bypass, the 6.7 will deliver near 600 hp.

Guys, my TDL has a zero as the first digit. I have been a Texas driver for a good while, and I know my and my vehicle's limitations. If I decide I need to run high speed, I will make an informed decision and if it's a go, I'm gone. I don't know, but how fast does a big dumb ambulance truck (with a high center of gravity) run in an emergency? I swear, if it was me and the driver's foot wasn't on the floor I'd wonder why he was trying to kill me. How about a DPS black and white cruiser? I know they will run.
When Henry built the first Fords, folks thought that going that speed would kill them. It just didn't work out that way. Going 100+ mph also ain't gonna kill ya.
It's not the speed that kills ya, it's the sudden stop. Drive carefully guys, I'm out there looking to pass you.

That's not true, and if it is he might be the biggest idiot on the road Idiot maybe knowing you can do it and doing it are two different things. I've never owned a truck with highly tuned suspension or 10k in engine mods so no idea how it would handle. Nor do I take trucks to the track. Nor do I build race specific trucks. But he does Truck pushing 700 hp at the RW.. True. I get scared at 90mph

Guys with boats don't scare me, that's maybe 3k lbs it's the fifth wheel guys breaking a hundred that scare me

I just don't see a pickup holding that curve at 125, especially with a boat behind it. Add in the fact that there's almost always semis in the right lane going 40 and little cars dodging in and out and it's a recipe for disaster. I'm sure a souped up diesel could hit 125 with a boat on the back, I'd just rather not think about it happening on a public highway!

I see I started something, WOW 125mph in basically a work/utility truck. That's just not smart. I read one that said he is on his 3rd engine, that's fishy. I research these trucks frequently and that's the first I've heard of total engine failure. The most common issues are the EGR cooler in the ambulance chassis which is caused from extended periods of idling, unless you let your 6.7 idle for extended hours or put DPF fluid in your fuel you should have any major engine problems. The common issues are exhaust temp sensors shutting the engine down when they are faulty, it has nothing to do with the engine issues. The safest thing to do is invest in a EGR delete and a DPF delete and leave the programmer in stock mode, this will reduce the heat in the engine and keep you from putting DPF fluid in your fuel tank.

I've been debating a 2015 6.7 cummins vs 6.7 powerstroke the last month. I've read, researched and picked the brains of many. The ford absolutely runs the best in terms of acceleration /power. The main thing I keep coming across is ford refusing to warranty HPFP that get bad fuel, rust, etc. There are countless stories and even spoke with my local service department. He said it wouldn't be warranty. 10-12k to fix. He stated water seperator should be drained monthly and filter changes every 15k. I just don't know if I can take the chance. I can get family d plan pricing, so it's by far the best deal over ram cummins and duramax. I'm just afraid I'd be one of the unlucky ones. I know getting fuel from active truck stops is best and I would probably run pm22 or opti lube XPD fuel additive to help boost cetane and demulsify. Anyone with a 2015 have any HPFP issues?

Just got a 15 psd it's a lot peppier then my 11 psd was. No one will warranty bad fuel damage. No one. Buddy with a 13 dodge had same issue. With that said most turn it into insurance, whom in turn goes after gas station and 99% of the time wins and you get your deductible back. Any HPFP with water will go boom. Nature of it being HP. Never had an issue with my 11 and it had over a 100k

Never had an issue with my 11 and it had over a 100k Are you running additive? Yeah it can happen to any, BUT I've researched this enough to know for every 1 cummins/duramax there's 5 ford 6.7 this happens with. Now, maybe others just don't report? It does seem more common on the 2011-12 6.7 models. Also I've have friends that were not even aware of this, so obviously no issues. I guess I'm just paranoid to buy a 50k truck and in back of my mind know this is a possibility. I have spoken with my insurance company and they were uninformed of any situation like this. They didn't seem really interested to give me assurance of help incase it did happen to me.

I do run additive. Mainly seafoam but only every third tank or so.
I just drain the water filter every oil change... Takes 3 mins.

Yeah, I will definitely drain water. What strange is the 6.7 powerstroke and duramax use the CP 4.2 pump. The cummins 6.7 uses the CP 3 pump.You would think the duramax would have as many failures running the same pump, yet hardly any get mentioned. My local dealerships have replaced 2 pumps on duramax and 6 on powerstroke due to water in fuel. 0 replacements for cummins 6.7

I'm more about the customer service. Over the past 6 weeks I've visited 6 different dealerships and spoke with service department. When I bring up the pump question, EVERYONE of them have avoided the question completely, worked around it, or changed subject completely. So for me a potential first time powerstroke owner, it leaves me feeling uneasy. I want to own one of these, I guess it comes down to how big of gamble I want to take.

As long as you don't put def in the desiel tank and change your filters regularly you will be fine This, my Son is currently in Fords School to become a Diesel Tech and his main instructor has always said to change the (both) fuel filters every other oil change and you should never have any issues..and drain the babcock every oil change.. I have a 2012 with 138K and a 2015 with 17k and have never had a issue..I change the oil every 7k with only Motorcraft 10w-30 semi synthetic and both fuel filters every 14k..simple maintenance and you should never have a issue...and I try to avoid the little mom and pop gas stations and use the QT diesel that has a high turnover exchange..Good Luck Sir
