I'm back.

I've been a member for a long time (since I bought my 2006 F350 SRW CC 6.0) but have not been around for a while. Since, I have traded my 2006 6.0 with 100,000 trouble free miles for a 2010 F-350 DRW King Ranch CC 6.4 which I had for 32,000 trouble free miles and now am the proud owner of a 2013 F350 King Ranch CC 6.7. All I can say is WOW what a difference. This new truck is by far the best truck I have ever driven and that includes my old 99 7.3. After I bought my 2006 6.0, I quit reading post on this forum because it scared the hell out of me with all the problems that the 6.0's were having. Thank god I didn't have any of those problems with mine. When I got the 2010 6.4 I was afraid to read any post on it, so I just drove it and enjoyed it until I traded for the 2013 6.7.

I am happy to see that their are not that many horror stories about the 6.7. I think I can again enjoy being a part of this great forum.

Congrats on the new truck. i have had my 11 (build date 7/10) for almost 3 years (sept 10th) almost at 50k its my daily driver only had a radiator issue no big deal. its been great and i hope i get to 10 plus years out of it.

Ill have to show my brother your post about your comment on the 7.3. he has a 99 7.3 and says absolutely nothing good about the 6.7 says its junk and would never drive anything but his 99 even after he has driven mine, oh well.

Welcome Back. I was in the same boat for a bit. Had a 2005 6.0 that was trouble free till I sold it then didn't go with the 6.4 but man am I happy to have the 6.7. 28,000 trouble free miles and love getting in her everyday.

These trucks are no match to our 72 F250 4WD with its 390CID. That truck stood proud everywhere it went and the 4H girls loved it. It rode like hard tail though.
