Most hours on 6.2 thread
Who has the most hours on their 6.2?
As of today 55,447 miles, 5,604hrs, and 3,746 idle hours.
Truck idles all day/everyday for 10+hrs, I work for .gov and there is a entire fleet of them, there have been zero issues to date since their release in '11. Some of them are getting tired, lots of spark knock from high engine compartment temps with A/C on full blast while baking in the sun. Only one truck in the entire fleet with a issue and that is a leaking left exhaust manifold. Oil changes are rare and done at local Ford dealer, I have been impressed with the 6.2/Torqueshift since it's release.

I'm so curious as to what do you do that would need this extensive idling?

Yeah, seems like he had over 11,000 hours on his when he had the cam issue at 418k. That's still something like a 38mph lifetime average. That's pretty darn good.

Yep, 418,000 miles(or within a 1,000 of). Wore a lobe off the cam. Instead of fixing it, he put a brand new warranty motor in because of the miles he drives. I think he is a hot shot driver in south Texas maybe? Someone can find his thread and post the link. I cant because Im on the app.
