Purchased a 2011 King Ranch new in 2011. Was the best truck ever till it hit 100K. I ordered a 2017 a couple months ago.
Took my family to Ocracoke Island a couple weeks ago. The furthest place from civilization one can go and not need a passport ( 3 hour ferry ride to get to a diesel mechanic) . Took truck on beach and died. tried turning it back over and it was banging loudly.
$3,000 of towing later to my dealer hoping I could get some assistance from Ford being a loyal customer. Dealer has done everything I believe they could on my behalf.
After this happening I have googled Ford 6.7 valves and seen this is a known issue for early 6.7's. I am three weeks away from the new truck arriving. I have to say I've never been more dissatisfied with lack of assistance from any company. It will cost 10k min. for a short block, heads, oil pump and gaskets.
Looks like Ford has two winners 6.0L backed by the 6.7.
I take extremely good care of my truck, there is zero possibility this was caused by neglect.
