Thinking of buying 2011-2016.
I need a little help. I am thinking of buying a 6.7 truck. Curious what to look for, what to stay away from, what to pay extra for etc. this will be a truck I hang onto for a long time. My current truck is a 95 7.3 with almost 300k on the odo. I hope to have the same level of reliability and longevity. I am a west coast logger so the truck will be pulling a lot, off road a lot, loaded down, oil spilled in the back, tools pounding in the back, 100 gal fuel tank etc.

I would stay away from the early build 2011's. There is a date range of build dates with possible weak exhaust valves causing the engine to fail. No warranty relief on these either. Other than those, the 6.7 has been solid! The new diesel engines are much PICKIER on purity of fuel, including the 6.7. They do not like any water in them at all.
