Is this True
Found this on another site , what do you make of it, I'm calling BS on it?
I work at a ford store DO NOT BUY THAT TRUCK wait my brother works at the ford provong grounds in az and the chinese little techs in there white coats are having big problems witht the turbos melting down BAD ok not pulling but when u get a trailer melty melty still they told him that truck motor is not ready to come out for 2 more years but ford is still doing it!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
Rick
see the fender vents in the pictures thats there attempt to get more cool air to the turbos per the chinese little guys but still no worky!
-----------------------------------
And this came in too:
Rick is right. I have a buddy that works at the proving grounds also on this particular motor and he said that have not been able to get more than 50k miles on one before it blows up. I would be extremly careful when spending that kind of money especially the first year out. But to each his own i guess. The truck looks cool but if it don't run then it ain't worth S%^&.
------------
Damfino, Wadaya think?
It's always the somebody knows a guy, it's never THE guy making the claim. And the fender vent comment,, I don't buy that.

Sounds like a bunch of BS. Ford (International) has been a leader in diesel technology and will once again raise the bar with this 6.4. I'm sure that the particulate filter will generate lots of heat when it regenerates itself but that is post turbo and should be more than safe. I'd still recommend that you wait to purchase for at least a year just to make sure. That is if you can wait that long. If not then Ford and their warranty (I recommend you get 100k BTB) will keep you sleeping at night until we are all sure this is the best diesel ever.....

"the little chinese guys" comments give them little to no credibility with me.. besides the fact that what they wrote is barely English. Ford would not release a truck that can't make 50k miles, in fact no car company would do that these days.

The info posted there has no credibility whatsoever. Im sure it doesnt bother anyone that is really in the know about these things.

If your so inclined to start lies..Go to another place to do it. We don't appreciate people like you. There are NO little chinege guys anywhere working on Ford turbos. ITs just some jerk with nothing better to do than lie. Some people are so misuable they have to bring down evey one around them because they have nothing else to do in life. Take your posts somewhere else.

As I stated I found this on a nother site and called BS on it from the begining. Just seeing if anybody else has herd the same thing. So relax Francis you should reread the whole post before accusing someone of posting it rather then passing on something that was found and wanted others input.

My thoughts are it would take some credible evidence for me to even repeat a given statement. I found nothing even close to being credible in your statement. I will give you credit as to calling it BS from the beginning, but even posting that kind of a statement is not wise on any true Ford owners part....
