2016. 6.7 Bed plate leaking
Hey. Brand new truck 2016. Built n priced my first new vehicle ever so i'm pretty stoked n proud to get my truck finaly. Did my first service early at 5000klm last night and was horrified to find a layer of oil over bed plate. My last truck 2004 6.0l had the same issue which I just lived with it as not worth pulling the motor i thought, but i feel quite a lot different about this truck.
Im shocked ford havnt got this figured out yet it being 2nd generation of the 6.7 also and i have heard the 6.4's can have the same issue. I went through the whole egr delete n arp blah blah blah with the last truck n still had to live with a bed plate leak.
I said last time "Never buying a ford again" but after researching various sources of info i had confidence in 6.7, but thinking about it now if ford decided to use a composite oil pan on first gen 6.7 why would they fix a design issue with a bed plate gasket that has been a there for their last two motors?.
I was gonna keep this truck for 6-7 years, not now i'm thinking 3 years n sell it with low klm n get a good price for it. 100% never buying a ford again.

Agreed let them fix it and if I remember correctly the repair is guaranteed for as long as you own the truck..
