6.0 E350 are Garbage

2005 E-350 Dually DIEsel, looking to sell 2 of the biggest pieces of crap produced by Ford ever. Will trade for GM or Dodge Diesels. Ford no longer cares about customers or quality on there vehicles. Super Duty no longer carries any weight. I cant rely on my trucks anymore, Almost $20,000.00 in repairs this year on 2 trucks with less than 60,000 miles on each. Not dependable at all, so if thats what your looking for, buy them... If your looking for dependable, go look at GM or Dodge, I will never look at another Ford product again... You dont own a Ford, A Ford owns you!!!

Ok, let me start by saying, Im not here trying to start a beef, so 2004 f250 is completely wrong... My wording is misleading, I didnt spend a "SO CALLED" $20,0000 this year, Repairs have totaled that amount over the 6 years with the amout this year alone being $10,000...I have had 2 other Ford 7.3 diesels with no problems other than minor oil leaks or water pumps and were sold with over 180,000 miles on both.. Both 6.0 trucks have been to different dealers and I have no beef with the dealers. Also Bud, as far as maintenance goes, the vans are maintained regularly, How do you perfom maintenance on a Brake Booster pump, 2 of them just went within a week of each other, how do I do maintenance on PCM, or fuel management system, or 3 ac compressors in one truck and 2 on the other, also Both radiators changed right after warranty ended. Turbo on 1 went at 34000 under warranty, on the other truck at 50000. Ball Joints at 40,000 miles on both trucks, I know how to take care of my vehicles, I have a 97 dodge van with 189,000 still on the road making me money, $800 in repairs over 14 years, now thats a truck, I just junked the other 97 Dodge because the floor rotted out after 14 years of pool chems on it.. So im sure all you guys take your EGR vaves out for routine cleaning. And the EGR cooler that was flushed 3 times within 60,000 miles that was over $2000 to replace, how do you do more maintenance than that. Before anyone says anything, These trucks are driven by the owners, not employees beating on the trucks... Sorry for being up front, but I hope you guys have better luck, but dont blame me for Ford making the worst diesel ever made, if it wasnt the worst they would still have it today, but they dont, do they? Quality is Job NONE lately

Do you understand anything about emissions regulations? Do some research and you will know why they are not made anymore (instead of drawing and posting erroneous conclusions).

I would say no one is blaming you for anything - let alone for Ford making the worst diesel ever .......... thats just plain silly. Lots of happy owners from what I can tell! Yes, there are unhappy ones too - like any make/model/etc.

Sorry you had issues, now ............... time to move on.

I don't have a 6.0, you see in my sig what I have. But I don't know what, I put in bold, have to do with being a diesel or gas engine. I love my 7.3 but I wouldn't put down an engine because of ball joints, rad, ac compressor, brake booster going out. JMO

Heck I would be interested in them! Are you in Az. But the floors being rotted out from pool chemicals has me worried that they may not be as well maintained a he is letting on?.....just saying, perhaps a new Nissan cargo van is just right for him...lol
