Hoping to find good info here, and be able to share some good info as well. Just ordered a 22 King Ranch F450, fully loaded. Currently own an F350, 2011 model, SD diesel, dually. Been a good truck for 11 years, then it crapped out on us pulling our fifth wheel home after camping. Not sure what happened, just lost power, sparks shooting out the tail pipe, then quit and wouldn't start. Had it delivered via flatbed to the dealership in Orange County, CA where I live. Really like everything about the 22 F450. That's all for now.

Welcome to FTE. The new ride sounds like it should handle just about any camper out there.. Enjoy.

Don't forget to join your California state chapter too.

Sorry your truck broke. I'm curious what the issue was.

Congrats on the new truck!

The DPF unit burned out completely. Just literally destroyed itself. Have to purchase a new one. Seems wrong to me. Only 55,000 miles, but 11 years old. Still... shouldn't burn up like that.
