Yes, there are many different aspects of the engine this year. There are many youtube videos out there that explain the differences. Rerouting the plumbing for more streamlined airflow, which eliminated some gnarly bends, allows more efficient delivery. Also, an upgraded turbo as well as a new factory tune can easily meet the power increases that are seen this year. It will be interesting to see how much they can turn it up before having to dive into the 6.7 to get increases, since GM just overhauled their Duramax. They claim to have the Duramax tuned way down to allow for incremental increases to keep up with competition moving forward. Pretty smart if you ask me. Turn the boost up, enhance the timing, and you're back in the game. Ford will eventually have to do this to keep up, but no telling when they'll pull that trigger. You can bet that engineers most likely already have an entirely new motor in the works at Ford.

Does Ford do scheduled upgrades for motor or chassis at regular intervals? Some manufacturers will change up the body every 2 years regularly.

 

So what is involved in replacing the oil pump (assuming that is the fix)?

Cab off?

Engine lift?

 

Nicely said epic he does have it coming the video should removed soon as well

 

As far as cab removal not required they went right through the front removing radiators and all the fun things as he put it. Apparently it was more of a pain draining the radiator and removing it than anything else to get to the front cover but, a cab removal could be possible depending on the dealership. Also an interesting point he told me the truck that they tested for Tuesday's delivery that failed tested almost 6 second delay to pressure yet did not throw a code within the truck? Even though the seal looked as though it was being pinched on the outside cover he believes it could just be a glitch in software or sensor he's just guessing we'll know on Tuesday or at least have a better idea of what Ford suspect is the problem take care

 

The video is from brown
i took the seat out of my 2017 truck I through away for u it's just a calibration issue

 

Just had an answer this one you understand that the oil pump is a gear system in the front cover right? a few other things I'd like to add since we are getting mechanical you understand the cold soak test is also because the oil is at its highest pressure when it first starts this could be a simple problem with in that front cover the little relief valve spring opening when it shouldn't so once again just trying to help not cause problems.

 

So it is a problem or not?

 

No it is not a problem just something that has to be checked by your dealer if you just recently purchased the 17 odds are your truck isn't even affected. And at this time the trucks that are affected no one and I mean no one knows what Ford thinks is the issue we will know more in time

 

Holy crap, guys!

Thread cleaned again, 22 posts just disappeared. Keep it on-topic...the demeanor of the guy in the video doesn't matter, nor does the continual back-and-forth. Enough already.

 

Best thread ever.

 

Imagine if Nick were still here...LOL...

 

The original video was made private. Here's a mirror (OP can edit the first post with the new link if desired):

 

My last thread
I am sorry Tom
OLd saint is gone xmas is over

 

I'm not sure if your name is Nick too but I wasn't referring to you. It's kind of an inside thing for those of us who've been in the 6.7 section for a while. Nick was... well... let's just leave that alone...LOL. Anyways, I wasn't giving you a hard time if that's what you thought!

 

Interesting. The pressure must be on. I had a feeling that might happen.
