Would Like Your Opinion

I bought a 7.3 Power Stroke in 1999 and it's time for a new one. Sure would like your opinion's on the 6.7L. I plan on ordering a new F-350 SRW Crew Cab 4X4 in a day or so and just wondering what your thought's are on the 6.7L. Thanks.

Bought mine in very late August and over 10,600 miles and only had a arm rest rattle..

Ford hit a homerun with this truck.

20500 miles as of today. This has been a great truck. You will be joining a rapidly growing group of very happy owners. Very few problems with 150000 trucks rolling the highways.

WillieP, I was in the same situation as you are. I have a 2000 F250, 7.3. Still runs great
(194000 miles) But i had the "wants" for a 2011 F350 srw cc long bed. Brought it home the other day. Has 125 miles now. Took it today to line x for the bed spray. Looks great.
Found one at Baytown ford but it was sold. I had to go to west I-10 to get one.
I love the heck out of it. I've spent hours sitting in the cab with the manuals just trying to figure it out. Love it so far ! Good luck

its Kick Butt Awsome.

Going from from a 1999 215hp Dodge Diesel that rattled down the highway, to this super quiet 400hp awsome truck is like night and day.

I found myself several times on the freeway on ramps pressing the accellerator like the old dodge and looking down and see my self going past 70 in a hurry.

700 miles now, Im getting better and keeping it at bay.

10,600 or more happy miles with a May build here.
A few shifting glitches here and there and Ford responded to those issues quickly. At this point I just drive, add diesel and maintain it.

Really the biggest issue is the odometer keeps counting up for some reason!

10,500 miles with a May build here. My first diesel and I've been blown away by the difference from my previous v10 Ford gassers. Now that I burn diesel, I'll never be able to tolerate a gasser again. Not one problem with my truck (except for the dinky tank issue which is now resolved). Every mile is a treat.

Got mine in May. Traded in a good running 2004 6.0. As nice as the 2004 was, this
truck is light years ahead. Power is unbelievable. Mileage is better too. 16 - 18 around
town. 18-21 0n the highway. 12.5 pulling a 11,000 lb travel trailer. 10,000 miles and no
problems. You will be happy with the 2011.
