Very few catastrophic failures have been reported and most of those are in F-450 range and above where use is strictly commercial.
I know this because after my 60K mile 2011 engine failed immediately after a dealer oil change (the truck never made it off the rack, I blame human error), I researched the failure history pretty thoroughly. This was in early 2016 and Ford put a new engine in the truck.
You will always have people spouting BS; it's the Internet of Things.
Ford made a commitment to the Scorpion engine program after the 6.4 Navistar disaster and it is paying off.

No truth to this! I spoke to a KY plant employee today and he said they were working 24/7. Bad news was they are behind by approximately 15000 trucks. Biggest slowdown is seat suppliers having trouble keeping up.

Anybody know anything about this? It is posted over at The Diesel Stop.
Production halted on 2017 diesels?
Has anyone else heard about this?
Dealership said there is a problem with 2017 PSD and the factory is not building any new trucks with a diesel until it is sorted out? Apparently it has to do with a faulty oil pump?
My dealer was dropping a new engine into a 2017 this week. The owner took it home and 150km later the engine seized.
Now they are rebuilding the engine in my dad's 2011 PSD, it had catastrophic engine failure. They are now putting a 2017 block in it.

Chicken Little was in the woods,
A seed fell on his tail.
He met Henny Penny and said,
"The sky is falling.
I saw it with my eyes.
I heard it with my ears.
Some of it fell on my tail."
He met Turkey Lurkey, Ducky Lucky,
and Goosey Loosey.
They ran to tell the king.
They met Foxy Loxy.
They ran into his den,
And they did not come out again.

If a person is gullible enough to believe internet BS vs actually looking at the huge number of trucks that are on the road, that never post on the 'net, and are absolutely trouble free; well...................................

Let's hope it is indeed all Internet BS and the 6.7 proves to be the engine we all hope it is in the long run because that is what we spend the $$$ for...

What issues have you had with your 6.7PSD? I have put 107K on mine and so far have had no engine issues.

You have a good point and I'd agree 100%, "IF" I hadn't been one of the 1st people to have had a 6.0 grenade itself due an injector issue "BEFORE" Injector issues became all the rage... I own a 7.5 gasser, and 6.0 and a 6.7 diesels. There is no comparison between the 3, and I plan to get another 6.7 soon to avoid the 6.0's service/reliability issues... I'm just a bit hesitant now that there are rumors about issues with the 6.7, true or false... Would you not be given the circumstances...? I want it to be not true just as much as anyone...

I had issues with my 2015 KR, DRW 6.7 PSD, ( not the engine, but the fuel system) which I believe were mostly started by electronic issues, but to throw the baby out with the bath water is rather ridiculous. When I was having the issues, I seriously considered other brands, but having been around a bunch of Cummins products (not in pickups) and having been burned bad with GM with their product, I couldn't bring myself to switch, and traded the '15 for a '16 that was equipped the same as the '15.
And the '16 has been flawless so far! But......to each their own!
