2015 cab and chassis reliability?

Was looking at getting a 2015 cab and chassis with the 6.7 and putting a hay bed on it. I was just wondering if this truck and earlier versions have been a reliable truck. Thanks for any help.

The 6.7s in the 11-12 C&C had a few issues. Dropping valves and junk turbos were the two biggest issues. I believe the turbos are still junk but the valve issue had been sorted out.

The turbos are all new for 2015

You know this how?
Just because you've had troubles with your 2012 and jumped ship to Ram, I'm not sure that qualifies you as a judge for all current generation 6.7 trucks...

There are differences in the C&C.. Plenty of useful threads in the 6.7 Diesel forum here...

Hey Bigfoot alot of people are saying since the hp and torque on the cab and chassis are the same ford didn't make any changes on 2015s. I can't find any literature saying they made changes on 15s but then again I can't find much writing on cab and chassis anyways, was just wondering where you read this. Thanks for all the help. I'm new to forums and am amazed at all the info that's available on this one.

I believe I read it on the Diesel Stop or maybe Powerstroke Army that the C&C did get the same upgrades but a lower tune to add to the life of the driveline since the C&C trucks are expected to be carrying bigger loads constantly... I will see if I can find that reference again tonight when I get to the computer.
