congrats to your friends.
I have one GM truck left in my fleet and hoping to part ways with it next year and replace it with another Superduty. I already had to replace the allison in this thing and we have moved it to extreme light duty to try and keep the wheels on it till budget allows replacing it.
Bottom line, the GM's can't hold a candle to the Fords if you work em.

 

Did we ever determine a build date? So does that mean he gets 100,000 mile warranty with the new engine or will they only cover the remainder.

 

His warranty expired 3,000 miles ago so there is no remainder. I believe there is a 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty the new engine. This was a frequently asked question for those who were warranty expiration who had a new engine installed.

 

I think that warranty after warranty is standard for most OEM parts.
Had a 4x4 module replaced in my out of warranty '02 explorer and they would warranty that part specifically for 12 months or 12,000 miles.

 

Great News! I am glad that is not hanging out there over the Holidays.

On the other hand......The other guy on this board with a cracked valve had a build date of 2/11. He had 103,000 when the valve failed. What was your build date? Just wondering what "quite early" means. This engine went into production in early 2010 correct? I would love to know specifically what the problem is that they know about.

 

I want to throw my 2 cents in here. Did anyone ever determine if the actual cause was from the glow plug or just a cracked valve?

I'm just curious because if you look at the indentation marks on the piston and the head , they look small and have a dimpled or roundish shape to them which would constitute the tip of a glow plug breaking off. If you look at the piece of the valve that broke off it looks much bigger and would have left sharper indentations than the marks that are present.

It makes sense to me being a glow plug failing , first noticing a small rattle getting louder then cracking a valve and losing power and the engine failing vs. just a sudden valve breaking and sudden loss of power and failure.

This is right in my neck of the woods and I have heard nothing of any failures up here in the Fraser Vally/GVRD area and I have been asking whenever I have visited the numerous Ford dealers in the area. OSG you need to go back to the Quad forums and hang with Reidler and the other cheby boyz.

 

Called over to the Enterprise rental in Chilliwack (604) 703-1333, they told me they don't have any Super Duty diesel, never did but he can try to find a 6.2 gasser, it may take up to 5 days to have one in his region. LOL

 

smells like a troll, posts like a troll ........
It sounded pretty odd from the start.
thanks for getting to the bottom of that questionable post.

 

Heck this even makes me happy and I don't even have a 6.7!

 

Good to hear for the original poster And guys, just have a little fun but keep it clean...

 

cross forum creep? I can't find you on quads though


Ha, thats awesome. I told my dad, and he lol'd. stoopid people who just want to one up your story.

 

I had the same thing happen. It was November20. Driving 70 down the highway, my truck started making a funny noise, I pulled over and it sounded like it was missing on one cylinder. I headed on home (30Mi) and took it to town the next morning, it died before I got to the dealership. After setting untouched for a couple of weeks, the called and said the glow ploug was burned off, and there may be more damage, might need a new motor. On December 19, they called and said a valve was broke, and the piston was ruined, needed a new motor. I have 32k on the truck, I bought it in may of 2010. I was expecting a new motor, but then they called and said there was some rust in the cylinders, and said this could only be caused by me running through water, and flooding the air box WHAT???? First of all, there's no water within 100 miles, I live in west texas and haven't seen rain in a year!!! I know I didn't run through water, and after reading on here , it looks like it is their problem??? Thanks you guys for having this forum, it helped me a lot. Any input on what I need to do?? They have ordered a motor, buy say I will have to pay $20k.??? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.

 

Make an appt with the servce manager or ford cust service right away about this.

If the truck sat for three weeks...

Also provide your maintance records.

 

Can you tell us what cylinder bank this catastrophic failure happened on?
