Thread: Very bad news on my sevice truck...

Well my Monday couldn't get any worse, Ford finally looked at my 6.7 F450 this morning, the motor is gone. Had a turbo failure, ceramic ball bearing exploded and grenaded the engine! Said a starting point would be around $19,000 to replace, told him I will scrap it and go a different route. I know the rules on bashing so I will hold my tongue, but a sad state of affairs when you can't get 100,000 miles out of a $60,000 truck!

No warranty left?

That is terrible!!!! That's why i had to get away from a Ford. They are NOT dependable.

Apparently not it's a 2011. I have another one just like it, I will be replacing the turbo on it and trying to sell it, it has less than 80k on it.

Man, I hate that for you..But on the brighter side..None of your men got hurt..Machines we can replace...

That sucks

Man that stinks!!

that seems pretty steep for an engine tho??

Know any shade tree mechanics that will do it for a couple cases of beer?

Lol, no sir.. It's fine just made a call to Dodge, he will find me a 5500 6.7 Cummins by this afternoon, good riddance I say. Anyone need about 13,000lbs worth of scrap steel??

I have heard ford turbos had a problem with that. I'm surprised they didn't have a recall on them
