our first failure.
we have three 6.7 powered trucks at work.
2011 F-550 crew cab 4X4 mason dump with 64,000 miles on it. no problems at all.
2012 F550 crew cab 4X4 utility body, 9,000 miles with no problems, until today.
2014 F-350 crew cab 4X4 pickup with 42,000 miles on it, no problems at all.
the crew drove the 2012 to the job and shut the truck off. two hours later went to go for coffee and no start.
looking it over, a quart low on oil. no, that will not do it.
low on smurf pee, no, that will not make a no start either.
checked all fuses, and could not find anything wrong.
called dealer, they sent a tow truck rite out.
they called at 12:30, found a sensor bad and replaced it. no idea which one yet, cause they were closing at 1 pm and said they want to do some more investigating before declaring it fixed. .

i have been keeping a close eye on the trucks because of the exhaust pipe bracket breaking. this is the first time any of the three went back to the dealer for anything.
while it is there we told them to go over it real good and to see if there are any TSB's or pending recalls.
the dealer is really cool about warranty repairs unlike some of the others.
maybe a small company buying 3 60 grand plus trucks in 3 years has something to do with it too.

Tom - you may want to suggest your company to carry this in each truck:

These Exhaust temp sensors are like the CPS's of the 7.3 days. A $20 sensor that as soon as it fails, renders the truck useless. All 4 temp sensors are the same part number, use code reader to identify which one failed, replace it (perhaps use gloves if exhaust is hot), clear code and truck is good to go again.
Disappointing as otherwise these engines appear to be reliable.
