6.7 Rods
 

Saw this on instagram and another forum. Thought I'd share as this is good news to those that didn't know.

Seems like an awful big change in the middle of a production year. I wonder they didn't put them n in job 1 engines.

Says was upgraded for job 2. Funny thing is this engine been out since 2011. Why so long to change rods?

It would be for an upcoming power increase ;)

The attached photo is from a 2017 Super Duty brochure. Based on the information shown I believe all of the 2017 engines have the upgraded rods, not just the job 2 trucks.

Can you post a link to the other forum?

Most of the chatter about this is on the 6.7 Facebook page.

I'd really like to know more about this. I have a Job 1 truck. The style on the right definitely looks like the same 2011-2016 rod. The style on the left looks stronger.

So the question becomes...can anyone definitively say the 2017 trucks did not get this rod until Job 2 started? If that is the case, what changes were made to the rods for the Job 1 2017 engines that the brochure alludes to?

This pic is from misterscotty in the 6.7 motor issues thread. He said his truck is a job 1 build. Looks like the older rod to me.

Working on getting us a definite answer :-X22

This may be another example of believing everything you hear or read.

Thanks Josh.

Could be.... Or it could also be confirmed by a few credible sources including the guy who actually set the powdered metal press up at AAM to produce these upgraded rods for Ford.
