But the egr is considerably smaller on the 6.7 vs. 6.4? I've lost count on how many threads I've read on turbos failing between all the forums I participate in. Since the turbo has been revised, there seems to be less reports of turbo failures though.
I've also seen many other 6.7 owners pull into a parking lot and shut their truck down instantly, maybe people forget their driving a turbo diesel due to how quiet they are, and forget the importance to let the turbo cool down??

Bingo!!! Tuned or stock, it doesn't matter, Always let your Turbo Diesel Engine cool down. Folks are more concerned with how long to let your engine warm up before driving her and forget how important it is to let her cool down. I do not know ANY folks with Turbo issues, tuned or not, simply because they treat there Turbo's right. So if you want to tune your 6.7L go for it, just use common sense when it comes to these Turbo's.

I'd rep you if I could. Just because the engine is turning 1500-2500 rpm's doesn't mean your spool was. That turbo get's HOT.

I'm going to agree with others. The only mass turbo failure I have heard of is on the Cab & Chassis trucks. I looked at the threads you provided and even in that case your looking at a max of 10 people per how many truck buyers that don't have problems? We need to realize that people who post on here represent less then 1% of F250/F350/F450/F550 owners.
But with that being said:
They have changed a lot from the end of 2010 to the new 2014s and are changing the turbo completely to a GT37 from a GT32. I posted about this change a couple of days ago, and only had one reply so I assume nobody had any interest in it.
Also, As per your question of why stock trucks are failing more then tuned trucks, I have one answer for you. Emissions. With the EGR becoming larger and larger as motors evolve, they are plaguing our rigs. Case and point why I am all for deleting your truck. When you take out the EGR your not putting used exhaust back through your turbo, back through your combustion chamber. This can't be good for the LONGEVITY of the motors, hence why I assume all the turbo failures on stock trucks your talking about. Also with the Particulate filter, so I have to have something on my truck that prevents the motor from breathing properly, use MORE fuel and now have to buy a substance that at the cheapest is $5-6 per gallon. EPA is an evil monster that just keeps pushing on more tax, more restriction. Speaking of tax, this is off topic, but did you guys know over half of the cost of a bottle of liquor is Tax???
Anyways, sorry about the rant, just pretty frustrated over all these bullcrap laws that are starting to come about. What happened to a free America? Pretty soon, people are gonna stop putting United States of America on the maps and put PRA(People's Republic of America).
