Hi,
Here are some pictures of a 6.7L diesel engine that came in the shop last week. I dont know what the cause of the damage. I think its fuel management but it might be glow plug braking off. I have talk to other techs in my area and they said it might be the single turbo over boosting on the chassis model. The non chassis have the dual turbo set up and not have seen a problem yet. Ill keep you guys posted. here a video on it. sorry that i'm bashing on the engine. It's funny how ford said this engine is bullet proof.

Well, this could actually be the mysterious exhaust valve problem that has popped up on the chassis cab trucks. A piece of the valve may have taken out the glow plug. I don't know who the mechanics were, but I love their "It's happening across the nation" comment. I am not sure that they are the experts on Ford's warranty problems. That truck may have had tons of miles on it already, as it wasn't in a Ford service bay and wasn't being serviced under warranty. Things happen, the 6.7 isn't perfect, but these guys sound rather ignorant.

I'll know more later this week. Its me talking in that video. check out my you tube channel. I have more videos on 6.0l,6.4l repairs. Its true, 6.7 isn't perfect but alot better than the 6.0L and 6.4L when they came out.The best thing on the 6.7L is NO REGEN!!!!!

No regen huh? And you have the balls to call the 6.7 junk? You know nothing about them obviously. You don't own one, and you see one failier and you call it a POS. Your a troll and nothing more as far as I am concerned.

Joediesel,
You made a serious error HAHA! You came on a Ford forum and posted a negative video, angry posts are going to occur. I am really interested in knowing the root cause of this on the chassis cab trucks. This is the second one I've heard of on the forums. Both were the same though, valves were missing and a cylinder was destroyed. What cylinder was it? Just provide details, you won't get far here if the videos and details are muddled with slurs of a demeaning nature. But I am interested in finding out what happened.

It is my understanding that the 6.7 has a single turbo.

 

[MGlickLBZ]

GM has similar issues when they went from the old LB7/LLY glow plugs to the new fast heat ones in the '06 LLY LBZ motors. My LBZ had four of them break off and go through the engine. Got a new motor at 2,400 miles.

There is no issue with the 6.7 Ford and glow plugs breaking...extremely isolated occurrences...a couple...but no recurring issue...same thing with valve train failure...yes there are a few but when you are talking about 300,000 2011 Ford 6.7 trucks being built...sometimes things break...6.7 Ford engine warranty claims are less than 1 in a thousand...

Ricatic, good post, I hope your information about the claims being less than 1 in a thousand are true, do you have a link? I have some people I would like to show that to.

Well, maybe the general population's waranty claims are less than 1/10th of a percent, but I've been following a topic over at the TDR forum where one company has had FIVE of their six F550's blow up exactly like that, except the thinking is it's exh. valve seats failing. Needless to say their new trucks will be Navistar/IH.

What's sad is it takes 2-3 weeks for FMC to get a replacement engine to the dealer. First replacement engine only lasted a week because the dealer tried to re-use the turbo and it blew again. It's just the 300 HP version of the 6.7, used in F450/550 cab & chassis trucks. This one company's trucks typically run loaded around 17,000-19,000#. So far the one truck that hasn't blown up has over 12,000 miles. One of the failures happened before 5000 miles and most around 7000-8000 mi.

A neighbor is a dealer tech and he has seen the 450/550 C&C low HP motor do this. There are a bunch of 2011 450/550 on the road here due to gas well industry and other commercial users. The electric and gas utilities use Ford way more than GM or Dodge.

Yep, that's where and what these trucks are doing in that thread on that forum. Overall warranty engine repairs may only be less than 1/10th of one percent, but if you have most of your new trucks gernade in the first couple months of use I doubt your real happy about the whole situation.

That number comes from a post on FTE by Paul Bruckne. He is one of the Ford 6.7 design engineers. He posted this info the last time this kind of stuff surfaced. Here is a link. His comment is in post # 7

Is there a story hidden in some valve train failures - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Honestly he sounds like the washboy that came over to look at the engine! No regen? He is not a Ford mechanic.
