I know right lol. The “BIGGEST” Problem was the mouse that messed up wires and ford couldn’t get a harness quick. That doesn’t sound like a bad truck to me. Ball joints? Shocks?

@ please show me a work truck that actually gets worked hard daily without front end problems. Ford, Chevy, dodge. All wear out if worked hard. Gas or diesel doesn’t matter one bit.
Ok let’s talk about some things from a master ford diesel tech. First off, it’s ridiculous we’ve hit the point we have to talk about resale value of a work truck. No one was ever talking about resale prices on their IDI f350 in 92…. OK THE IMPORTANT PART. I’ve been watching you a long time. And I’ve realized your problem is not ford trucks. Every truck breaks. Your problem is incompetence at the dealer in the shop. Bad techs that don’t diagnose the root of the problem. I’ve spent years cleaning up after other dealers and shops. You need to find a competent technician and your ford trucks will treat you very well, remember, they’re a wearable item, they don’t last forever. It’s always a balance of “is it worth it to repair, or buy a new one”
And then sits in them letting them idle all night long jamming them from drive to reverse with the plow on it and still only changing oil every 7500 miles.
Get out of your own head and think about what you are saying… the reason why no one was worried about resale value of a 90s work truck is because it was affordable and was a fraction of a years salary. Now days the “work truck” is 100k, if you can’t view it as an investment and expect some money back at resale then it’s not worth the price. This time we cannot bail these criminals out. Let the motor companies fall.
I am a die hard ford guy, at work we have all three. If i was to buy a new truck i would buy a 97 f350 and have it restored. Gm, dodge, and ford if they are newer seem to have way more issues than the older ones, well not the dodges. They always had major major issues
And that's the thing. As plow trucks the attachments habe gotten bigger and bigger once larger ans larger lots were beijg plowed. Rather than upgrading to a single axle dump. They'd rather beat the hell out of a truck not designed for the job. Complain. Then pass it off to some unexpectedly young person who needs a truck. Just not with the unforseen problems .
My nephew is a manager for large 3 state pig farm operation, travels/hauls a lot between the farms, he had to upgrade to a larger truck and he ended up buying a new 2021 F350/7.3, about a year and a half later the motor started getting noisy/loss of power at 41,000 miles. it was diagnosed with the cam/lifter failure, there was so much glitter in the oil that it killed the oil pressure and subsequently damaged crank journals, Ford wasn't going to stand behind it because it wasn't serviced at the "dealership" he had all of his vehicles serviced at a well known diesel/big rig shop with receipts. he ended up suing Ford under the lemon law and they had to install a new engine, He traded off a Ram for that Ford and now he is back with a Ram, This was the 3rd Ford that he has owned that has let him down with catastrophic failures
Except international quit producing the 7.3 for Ford in 2002. And the last of the 7.3's went into early 03 f250's. So big negative there by about 20ish years. The 7.3 is well known as the best diesel engine Ford has put into its medium duty trucks. They are well known to go a million miles with proper maintenance. But, it wasn't a 7.3 reguardless since 02 was the last year for them in the f350
Nice, please keep pushing the 100k diesel pickup truck idea for better resale value. Leave the cheap gas ones for us that just need a work truck and are not trying to be “cool”.
Certainly no perfect solution. I have heard the sunroof + snow plow prep voids the factory warranty when new. Could have just been a salesman trying to push what was already on the lot. What’s the reasoning behind not using small dump trucks like 550’s if you are going the diesel route anyway?
@@Dirtmonkeysounds like a you problem. Half a million miles on mine and she still hauls heavy all the time. All original. Quit stretching out your oil changes to 7500 or 10k miles. Change it every 3-5k and roll on.
Plow trucks are notorious for beating itself apart. With the additional weight of the plow on the front end, it's going to be hard on springs and suspension components. A diesel is going to make that worse with the additional weight of the diesel engine. The 68RFE transmission is OK for medium duty use, but not for a plow truck. Wait until the 10 speed transmission start grenading themselves. GM has a recall of all of their 10 speed truck transmissions. Ford and GM collaborated on the design, with minor changes to the Ford units. I wouldn't purchase a new extended cab or 4 door cab pick up truck for plowing due to the additional stress placed on the longer frame.
GM actually had 0 involvement in the design of the 10 speed. It’s as good as a 10 speed can be. Blame the EPA. Constantly requiring certain fuel economy numbers or efforts at least. The 6r140 is bombproof. Throw 4 more gears at it and you run out of room for things in the case.
Good luck, I work for a cable company and we switched to gas ford f450’s for our bucket trucks and almost every 2020 truck we have had to replace the whole engine or just the top half. Mine died at 83k miles. We have thousands. Guess we get a really good deal because we keep buying fords. Total ford vehicles is about 100k. We had problems with diesels also so we are trying gas, not good so far.
The 7.3s had the lifter issues when they came out. Everyone knows that. The main problem is you cable guys sit in the trucks and let them idle while you scribble on your clipboard for hours on end. I 100% agree it’s fords fault they don’t have higher oil pressure at idle, but with that being said, stop idling engines all day long. The 7.3 only has like 6-8 psi of oil pressure at idle. They’re hydraulic lifters and they have to have oil pressure. If not they will collapse and wipe the engine.
Ran multiple 16+ 6.7s 250/350s , one has 400k miles (2016 f250 larait ultimate) original trans , never touch the engine bay believe that or not , no it doesn’t leek oil either , tows u55, 259 , kx040 , t770 constantly, maintenance but not over the top , run a fuel additive (edt hot shot ) things great .. along with all the others
@@marm842 absolutely, raises the shift points a bit & raises the working pressure slightly. Puts the coast clutch on n helps take the load. I have an older one that doesn't have tow haul, but I always push the OD lockout button on plowing.
I’m pretty certain it’s the same axles as the f250. I’ve swapped a few out on some wrecked trucks. Idk the exact model of the axle itself but we put a 2022 f350 front axle under a 2021 f250. They’re identical
And none of the "horrible" issues had anything to do with it being a diesel or not. Mouse chewed wiring, and wear parts. Hint (Brakes, frames, suspension, and many other wear parts are the same gas vs diesel.) Most of our "pickup" problems are related to being overloaded constantly vs buying a medium or heavy duty truck like we should have. They're just not as sporty.
I have a 01 ram 2500 5.9 V8 pushing 400,000 still my daily driver and it doesn't take a damn space technician to work on it.. when things break you fix them.. As you can see even new trucks have issues at least I can work on mine parts are cheap insurance is cheap and the amount of information on the Internet 💯 the amount of electrical B's they put in these vehicles is ridiculous all for a bunch of features you hardly use 🤷 all I need is a nice stereo system and 4 wheel drive I'm good to go 👍
I've got a concrete business, I've had ford and chevy trucks, I know i bought four new dodge ram 2500 a year ago no trouble with any of the trucks. Working good and I load more a and haul overweight 80% of the time everything has been great
It is always a great time to invest in yourself. Time is your second worst enemy. Money, things and people will come and go. Some for better and some for worse.
My company we ran fords from about 2002 to 2022. We will never buy another Ford again. We replaced about 15 trucks in 2022 with Ford F450 and we’ve had nothing but problems. They’ve been in the shop more than they’ve been used so we’re actually replacing everything now with Chevy 5500 and 6500, we have a F750 dump truck and that sucker has 11,000 miles on it , it’s had 7 def/dpf egr system replaced on it. And I’m talking full system not just a part here and there, the full system. Now I’m not gonna lie the 2002 to 2018 fords were pretty good trucks , some had problems others didn’t, we have a fleet of 130 trucks
Those emission systems altogether are expensive I once heard someone state it would cost you 25k to replace all of It I honestly find my self wondering we have been building these things for over a century we have been building engines for more then 100 hundred years and your mean to tell me we still can't seem decrease pollutants comming out the exhaust without stuffing a giant filter onto it am I being senile or is this a valid point I would have thought by now we would have ya know had it down after so many attempts
You can find these exact same comments about every manufacturer. If you think the problems you had are only a Ford thing, I have ocean front property in Nebraska to sell yoy.
It’s usually someone that has a friend of a friend with an uncle that says that. Everyone that drives them says otherwise. Rams are junk. Our fords get the pis ran out of them and they will start every single morning and take you across country anytime you need them too. It’s nothing for us to be 31-32k on the scales. They just work. 479k miles on my f250 gasser. 408k on my brothers f250 gasser. Both are 100% original. Neither of them use a lick of oil and they’re bone dry underneath. I can also point you to about 10 different people that I know with f250s that are over 250k miles. We have a 7.3 powerstroke also. “Gods engine” as people say. We have more issues with it than any of them and it won’t pull what my half a million mile gasser will
Diesel for the torque. Got to have it in your line of work I think. I can relate. Have owned all the brands and same experiences you mentioned with the different brands. I also do keep a gas rig for the short and quick trips to run around in but doesn't pull much.
😮I think all the brands are pretty good trucks. Each have their own strengths and weaknesses. What is really more important is how you drive, work, and maintain your trucks.
I have 3 F450's and a F350 all diesels. Every truck inevitably will have there problems but compared to the 1 08 Dodge 3500 that I had about $5,000 over 5 years put into the front end with 100,000 miles on it and the very few and very simple problems (batteries, starter, brakes, simple Maintence stuff nothing major) that I have had with my Fords. Hands down I will always go Ford. only thing I would suggest doing is putting a S&S disaster kit in it to protect the fuel system, because those pumps have been known to give problems. I never have had a problem with this though.
2016 was the last year of the good Ford F-250 F-350 I have a couple of them 6.7 L diesel and the 6.2 L gas both trucks no problems! All my friends that have the aluminum body style have all had problems in issues
If you own a Ram truck you should upgrade the ball joints to the Carli joints that are lifetime warranty and Carli track bar will change your honest opinion on the truck. The transmissions should have the temperature bypass on it if it has the 68rfe.
Can’t wait till you have huge diesel problems. Horrible 10 speed tranny in those diesels. Bad emission parts that constantly go bad. Quality control issues with the engine. I hope the truck is reliable for you but I worked for 3 large companies that had these 6.7s and they are less problematic than others but they definitely had their problems and some huge repairs. I hope it works out for y’all.
I'll never buy another, a mechanic told me it was bad, a friend had this happen to his, that engine is no good, brakes don't last and the cup holder is to small or to big. I very seldom hear, I got a good deal, the service dept. is great, the dealership/seller treated me fair and that's the people I do business with.
Lots of hate on the Wonderful and amazing Fords... Like Bowties they have bad ones. You can easily find tons of people with the exact opposite experiences. Chevy has copied and followed behind Ford since the beginning. =) Chevy had ads hating on Ford moving to aluminum... then they went all aluminum... the very next model year. Go Ford!
Just traded my 15 off for a 23. 15 only had 87k miles on it. Almost made money on it. It only cost me 1100$ a year after I figured out the costs and what I got on trade.
Basically when it comes to 6.7 powerstrokes the only realy issues they can have is CP4 pumps, oil pan leaks, and maybe the odd random wiring harness issue. Obviously emissions are a problem with all the trucks. Also, those early 2015 6.7's apparently had some problems with their stock ceramic ball bearing turbos. Other than that, powerstrokes are pretty strong at this point. Its a toss up for me between them and the duramaxes. If I worked for Ford, i would make some changes. Those V6 f150's could of shined if they just gave it the option in basic work trucks. Imagine snow plowing with one of them things. They also made v8 dual overhead cam diesels that would have fit inside an f150. But hot damn, its wierd how they make decisions.
I been looking at a lot of the f250's 2022, a few I looked at look to be sent down from Canada. 2022 with 25k miles and 481 hours of idle time for 65k. I have not test drove the 250 but it going to be that or a Gmc 2500 at4 diesel. the goal is to put them on a diet to run better.
Good information! All the manufacturers have issues, what matters is, who fixes it fast. Thats Dealer specific, find a good Dealer and buy your Truck from them. Ford isn't the most popular truck for nothing, just saying....
The odds of not having major trouble with that truck within 5 years is not good. The sunroof is likely to cost a few thousand and the engine could get lucky but likely be a nightmare out of warranty. Other than that will probably be solid. Hopefully you get lucky but myself and most others I know haven't had good luck with the diesels or sunroof. Also we got diesel and gas fleet at my job not mine just work for the company but gas is far more reliable less down time and easier to fix. Hate to say it but if you bought a diesel for this financial purposes there's about a 98% chance you made the wrong choice. Wish you luck though
2014 Ram coalling. All original front end components are tight. Sorry your goofy wheels and tires are wearing out components on plow duty. Oh, and synergy makes a ram drag link for $350. Better than stock. Easy DIY and not $700 you paid your mechanic to replace with a cheap parts store (mevotech) drag link. You thought a few sets of ball joints was bad, but that doesn't constitute a front end rebuild. Steering box, drag link, tie rod, track bar, u joints, radius arm bushings...you were some parts short of a "full" rebuild. Your future CP4 replacements won't be any cheaper than ball joints, that's for sure. 2018 Ram wasn't a bad truck. You just made bad decisions and expected it never to need work.
I just named my 07 chevy avalanche christine all the shitters been hating on her.... it was black Betty but been getting my balls broke and hearing you need a new truck from all my buddies and few others....well im sorry im not until the wheels fall off because this vehicle has been awesome yes had few wire issues and the normal wear and tear but haven't had a payment in years 250ooo miles original drive train full send fellas ill keep running christine!! Gas n oil n gooooo!!
Any new vehicle is a waste of money nowadays... Too much technology=Planned obsolescence... As a business owner, it somewhat makes sense because you can write them off... Otherwise not worth anywhere near what they charge for them... Factory recalls are far more commonplace with today's junk... And Ford is at the top of the list...
Very nice truck there! Petrol trucks though, seriously? No one I know would buy one as a work vehicle, diesel for torque plus efficiency all the way. A flash sports truck as a stylish asset then sure, get a big petrol V8, but not as a work horse. That's just my line of thinking though.
Ford best years 2015-16 for the obs and 18-19 for the aluminum body trucks. stay away from the 10 speed, they still havent figured out how to make it survive life with a contractor/snow plow guy.
I have that f250 great truck, there is 2 things you should do/not do. You need the s&s disaster prevention system for the high-pressure fuel pump, don’t let the truck idle unless you put a high idle switch on it. I guess one extra step as well. Change the oil every 4 to 5000 miles and you’ll never have a problem with it.
@@randysavage8963 I agree, deleting it would be priority one, but if you’re looking for a good resale value, then deleting it will hurt you, especially nowadays a dealer won’t give you a good trade-in with a deleted truck because they have to put all the emissions back on it
@@SmittyAccess That is very true and valid it’s a sad world we live in tractors are the same way spend all that money . Then turn around and spend another 5-10 to make them reliable as they once were
Stanley, do you have plans to go to the Chicago Auto Show next year? I also know that it is a special order but you can buy a GMC truck with 3 rows of seats in the cab with an 11ft bed
@Dirtmonkey I talked to GMC at the auto show years ago. You can special order either 1,2 or 3 rows in the cab and you can special order the 11ft bed. I think it started around $110+. But think about how quickly you would fall in love with an 11 ft bed.
@@oneninerniner3427 but just think how great an 11 ft bed would be and how much you could haul with an 11ft bed. And if you pimped it out so it was an 11ft dump bed that would be awesome
all the new diesel trucks are plagued with problems. the dodges the front ends are garbage. the gm,s everything falls apart.the fords mostly motor issues wich can be bulletproof options. ur best bet is still the ford tbh.
Grate hat Stanley I have one to would like to see more of the teachable stuff & the listen whale you work type education Keep on winning winning winning
Lol. I buy the 6.0 diesels that all of you have long given up on and condemned as unreliable turds. It is a platform that is cheap and still able to be worked on with the right diagnosis tools. The engine is way more reliable than believed. It was the tuning and beating on that led to catastrophic failure
The new trucks are a total waste of money no matter how you break it down as far as resale.They are in constant need of repair costing more downtime and money.Its a no win situation as they are built like crap when new.
Screwed up….buy a 1tn don’t pay the excessive tabs….sub 10k rating in Mn you pay based on value. Above 10k you pay like 160$. Thank you Jesse Ventura….lol
Stop buying new $70K High Tax, luxury trucks with spyware for work. It’s dumb. Buy an older truck, bone stock, replace all older parts and call it a day.
1:59 ummm no way was that a 98k MSRP truck brand new in 2022... First off it is a 250 (big mistake) and second it is only a lariat!... Ask me how I know that this truck was no more than 87k MSRP 😂
Youre far better off dindijg a 7.3 powerstorke. Completely redoing the entire truck. Spending the little money to get it up to the 400-400hp range. Youll still have 50k in your pocket. And itll laat a million miles.
This was an issue in chevy and dodge diesels as well. They all ran the Bosch cp4 pump at one point. Replace the pump with an s&s diesel dcr pump an never worry about it again. Get a cummins an have the heater grid bolt melt off an cost you 35k for a new engine. Everything will have a problem eventually
@jacobbarrett17 The heater grid bolt is not as common as you think. It's also a very easy fix that doesnt cost much and doesn't take long to do. Ram used the CP4 for 2 years on the earlier 5th gens. Powerstrokes have much more issues then just the injection pump. Ram has transmissions issues if you don't bypass the thermostat and change you oil. A 4th gen Ram with a G56 is the best truck ever built and will out last any other truck with good maintenance.
Same color as mine but I have a 2017 250 6.7 love it I’ve plowed and salted every year with it just hit 100k last week the one thing I would keep a eye on it’s the trans cooler lines they rust to shut so fast just upgraded to the braided lines & the rear camera always gets messed up other than that I love mine
Vehicles are a liability not an asset. You use them up declare depreciation on you taxes, auction them off and start the process over for replacement. They are for business, personal vehicles is an entirely different category. Use a hoopdy to go back and forth to the job.
@@Dirtmonkeyexactly people think it’s insane to spend 100k on pickup, if you talking about a daily personal driver then yes that’s insane, for businesses not so much it usually pays for itself 2-3 times over the amount paid over 4 or 5 years. same thing with the excavator and CTL. It all pays for itself and then some, if it’s not your doing something wrong.
Nice rig. Mt company has fleet of 7 of the 6.7 diesel f350. They have been ok. They are on the road every day hauling loaded up 16ft trailers all over the US. We recently had to have three of them get the upper oil pan gaskets replaced around 130k, Almost 7k each!!! Ouch Dealer says the 6.7s all need them done at some point.
We bought a truck we can’t let anyone use it and we’re gonna resell it. It’s not about how much you can sell the truck for it’s about how much it’s gonna break down and how much money you can make with it. It’s useless if it’s not making money.
Not a chance would I buy a 6.7 Ford too many guys left with a 30,000 dollar repair bill when the engine shits the bed no thanks. You have to delete the truck to make a 6.7 reliable and get rid of the CP4 fuel pump. The emissions crap costs you huge money in repair bills when it fails I know guys that end up with a big bill. I'm a Ford guy I will not buy anything else but Ford pickups, they are only gas powered. We don't buy F-250s here on the West Coast of BC Canada, an F-250 has no "Legal" payload a F-350 SRW crew cab has an easy 1000lbs more payload the rear springs are heavier. I hope you have decent luck with the truck I think it may last because Tim will be the primary driver. It sounds like your work trucks really suffer from employee abuse.
Ford tech here… Engine is a great engine Run Archoil fuel additive to save the high pressure fuel system. Adds lubricity to the fuel. Be mindful of fuel quality when filling. The 10 speed is questionable. Can’t do much about that Trucks are good trucks Make sure the fuse panel cover is on tight under the hood. Common issues with water intrusion
WE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS!!!! what kind of problems did we have tim? - "Basic wear components". Stan - "what a nightmare"

GM actually had 0 involvement in the design of the 10 speed. It’s as good as a 10 speed can be. Blame the EPA. Constantly requiring certain fuel economy numbers or efforts at least. The 6r140 is bombproof. Throw 4 more gears at it and you run out of room for things in the case.
Please cut this children music out of the videos 😅
Leave the music out, period.
Love the hat 👍
Good luck, I work for a cable company and we switched to gas ford f450’s for our bucket trucks and almost every 2020 truck we have had to replace the whole engine or just the top half. Mine died at 83k miles. We have thousands. Guess we get a really good deal because we keep buying fords. Total ford vehicles is about 100k. We had problems with diesels also so we are trying gas, not good so far.
The 7.3s had the lifter issues when they came out. Everyone knows that. The main problem is you cable guys sit in the trucks and let them idle while you scribble on your clipboard for hours on end. I 100% agree it’s fords fault they don’t have higher oil pressure at idle, but with that being said, stop idling engines all day long. The 7.3 only has like 6-8 psi of oil pressure at idle. They’re hydraulic lifters and they have to have oil pressure. If not they will collapse and wipe the engine.
@ we don’t have a clipboard, we watch RUclips.
I can't imagine gas engines would be a good option for bucket trucks. Do it with any modern gas engibe snd you'll probably suffer the same issues.
Ran multiple 16+ 6.7s 250/350s , one has 400k miles (2016 f250 larait ultimate) original trans , never touch the engine bay believe that or not , no it doesn’t leek oil either , tows u55, 259 , kx040 , t770 constantly, maintenance but not over the top , run a fuel additive (edt hot shot ) things great .. along with all the others
Stan should go f350 they have solid dayna front rear axles .better for plowing. With plow package
Thats on truck number 2
@Dirtmonkey oh yep both mine are 350 7.3 02. An 16 6.2 gas they have been great .400000miles on 02 7.3 f350 an 122000 on 16 f350 6.2 gas
@Dirtmonkey when plowing put trans in towing mode.saves on trans dont kick over drive in on trans that way.
@@marm842 absolutely, raises the shift points a bit & raises the working pressure slightly. Puts the coast clutch on n helps take the load. I have an older one that doesn't have tow haul, but I always push the OD lockout button on plowing.
I’m pretty certain it’s the same axles as the f250. I’ve swapped a few out on some wrecked trucks. Idk the exact model of the axle itself but we put a 2022 f350 front axle under a 2021 f250. They’re identical
And none of the "horrible" issues had anything to do with it being a diesel or not. Mouse chewed wiring, and wear parts. Hint (Brakes, frames, suspension, and many other wear parts are the same gas vs diesel.) Most of our "pickup" problems are related to being overloaded constantly vs buying a medium or heavy duty truck like we should have. They're just not as sporty.
i have a 2004 Dodge Ram, 200K, no major issues at all, still runs like new.
I have the same exact truck with 192 on it and it's great, I love this truck.
NICE! love hearing good stories like that
07 dodge ram over 260000 miles, plus still running good no major issues but rust and alot of rust
2005 5.9L no DEF. 120k
I have a 01 ram 2500 5.9 V8 pushing 400,000 still my daily driver and it doesn't take a damn space technician to work on it.. when things break you fix them.. As you can see even new trucks have issues at least I can work on mine parts are cheap insurance is cheap and the amount of information on the Internet 💯 the amount of electrical B's they put in these vehicles is ridiculous all for a bunch of features you hardly use 🤷 all I need is a nice stereo system and 4 wheel drive I'm good to go 👍
I've got a concrete business, I've had ford and chevy trucks, I know i bought four new dodge ram 2500 a year ago no trouble with any of the trucks. Working good and I load more a and haul overweight 80% of the time everything has been great
It is always a great time to invest in yourself. Time is your second worst enemy. Money, things and people will come and go. Some for better and some for worse.
My company we ran fords from about 2002 to 2022. We will never buy another Ford again. We replaced about 15 trucks in 2022 with Ford F450 and we’ve had nothing but problems. They’ve been in the shop more than they’ve been used so we’re actually replacing everything now with Chevy 5500 and 6500, we have a F750 dump truck and that sucker has 11,000 miles on it , it’s had 7 def/dpf egr system replaced on it. And I’m talking full system not just a part here and there, the full system. Now I’m not gonna lie the 2002 to 2018 fords were pretty good trucks , some had problems others didn’t, we have a fleet of 130 trucks
Those emission systems altogether are expensive I once heard someone state it would cost you 25k to replace all of It I honestly find my self wondering we have been building these things for over a century we have been building engines for more then 100 hundred years and your mean to tell me we still can't seem decrease pollutants comming out the exhaust without stuffing a giant filter onto it am I being senile or is this a valid point I would have thought by now we would have ya know had it down after so many attempts
You can find these exact same comments about every manufacturer. If you think the problems you had are only a Ford thing, I have ocean front property in Nebraska to sell yoy.
A good friend of mine own a diesel repair shop. He said Ford's diesels are the worst trucks to work on and are not reliable.
It’s usually someone that has a friend of a friend with an uncle that says that. Everyone that drives them says otherwise. Rams are junk. Our fords get the pis ran out of them and they will start every single morning and take you across country anytime you need them too. It’s nothing for us to be 31-32k on the scales. They just work. 479k miles on my f250 gasser. 408k on my brothers f250 gasser. Both are 100% original. Neither of them use a lick of oil and they’re bone dry underneath. I can also point you to about 10 different people that I know with f250s that are over 250k miles. We have a 7.3 powerstroke also. “Gods engine” as people say. We have more issues with it than any of them and it won’t pull what my half a million mile gasser will
I drive one… looking forward to hitting 1million miles on my 7.3
LOL, the old "I have a buddy that said… ". STFU dude, just say you like GM, or Ram, or whatever and move on. Why lie?
Ford dodge gm good luck with any diesel stuff happens
No it's about how much that vehicle can make you during its life span as well.
Recall king!!
Diesel for the torque. Got to have it in your line of work I think. I can relate. Have owned all the brands and same experiences you mentioned with the different brands. I also do keep a gas rig for the short and quick trips to run around in but doesn't pull much.
Right on
😮I think all the brands are pretty good trucks. Each have their own strengths and weaknesses. What is really more important is how you drive, work, and maintain your trucks.
I have 3 F450's and a F350 all diesels. Every truck inevitably will have there problems but compared to the 1 08 Dodge 3500 that I had about $5,000 over 5 years put into the front end with 100,000 miles on it and the very few and very simple problems (batteries, starter, brakes, simple Maintence stuff nothing major) that I have had with my Fords. Hands down I will always go Ford. only thing I would suggest doing is putting a S&S disaster kit in it to protect the fuel system, because those pumps have been known to give problems. I never have had a problem with this though.
Well iam done watching ur channel 🤣👌🏻
I was a ford guy 60s and70s when you could do all the work yourself. Not eney more. Bought 250 descll nothing but problems will never buy another.
2016 was the last year of the good Ford F-250 F-350 I have a couple of them 6.7 L diesel and the 6.2 L gas both trucks no problems! All my friends that have the aluminum body style have all had problems in issues
Dude wears a MAGA hat…… you know what that means…… he’s sane, masculine, knows what sex he is, informed, patriotic, and probably very resourceful. 😎
That Ca Caw is now burned into my mind forever.
If you own a Ram truck you should upgrade the ball joints to the Carli joints that are lifetime warranty and Carli track bar will change your honest opinion on the truck. The transmissions should have the temperature bypass on it if it has the 68rfe.
We have a 2019 ford f150 xl and it has 135,000 miles on it and it’s a good truck we haul 3.5 tons behind it all the time.
Can’t wait till you have huge diesel problems. Horrible 10 speed tranny in those diesels. Bad emission parts that constantly go bad. Quality control issues with the engine.
I hope the truck is reliable for you but I worked for 3 large companies that had these 6.7s and they are less problematic than others but they definitely had their problems and some huge repairs. I hope it works out for y’all.
Recall was on drag link.
Congratulations brother god bless!!!
I'll never buy another, a mechanic told me it was bad, a friend had this happen to his, that engine is no good, brakes don't last and the cup holder is to small or to big. I very seldom hear, I got a good deal, the service dept. is great, the dealership/seller treated me fair and that's the people I do business with.
Lots of hate on the Wonderful and amazing Fords... Like Bowties they have bad ones. You can easily find tons of people with the exact opposite experiences. Chevy has copied and followed behind Ford since the beginning. =) Chevy had ads hating on Ford moving to aluminum... then they went all aluminum... the very next model year. Go Ford!
Just traded my 15 off for a 23. 15 only had 87k miles on it. Almost made money on it. It only cost me 1100$ a year after I figured out the costs and what I got on trade.
Basically when it comes to 6.7 powerstrokes the only realy issues they can have is CP4 pumps, oil pan leaks, and maybe the odd random wiring harness issue.
Obviously emissions are a problem with all the trucks.
Also, those early 2015 6.7's apparently had some problems with their stock ceramic ball bearing turbos.
Other than that, powerstrokes are pretty strong at this point.
Its a toss up for me between them and the duramaxes.
If I worked for Ford, i would make some changes.
Those V6 f150's could of shined if they just gave it the option in basic work trucks. Imagine snow plowing with one of them things.
They also made v8 dual overhead cam diesels that would have fit inside an f150. But hot damn, its wierd how they make decisions.
I been looking at a lot of the f250's 2022, a few I looked at look to be sent down from Canada. 2022 with 25k miles and 481 hours of idle time for 65k. I have not test drove the 250 but it going to be that or a Gmc 2500 at4 diesel. the goal is to put them on a diet to run better.
A friend of mine has a Camry with 340k miles on it and it’s been bulletproof. Maybe the problem is all trucks in general. Maybe try a Camry or Corolla
Good information! All the manufacturers have issues, what matters is, who fixes it fast.
Thats Dealer specific, find a good Dealer and buy your Truck from them.
Ford isn't the most popular truck for nothing, just saying....
😅 0:16 rofl I just watched a video of you doing the cannonball run. The change of look and lifestyle
The odds of not having major trouble with that truck within 5 years is not good. The sunroof is likely to cost a few thousand and the engine could get lucky but likely be a nightmare out of warranty. Other than that will probably be solid. Hopefully you get lucky but myself and most others I know haven't had good luck with the diesels or sunroof. Also we got diesel and gas fleet at my job not mine just work for the company but gas is far more reliable less down time and easier to fix. Hate to say it but if you bought a diesel for this financial purposes there's about a 98% chance you made the wrong choice. Wish you luck though
Problem with you guys is, you are trying use small trucks for heavy duty use. Upgrade to class 4 trucks or higher, like f450 or chevy 4500.
My dream of vision is the cap you’re wearing on your head. Mega Good to hear your voice again, Stanley
I would never ever spend my money on a Ford or Dodge/Ram, whatever they call themselves these days.
The diesel today are plagued with to many problems reliability is in the toliet
2014 Ram coalling. All original front end components are tight. Sorry your goofy wheels and tires are wearing out components on plow duty. Oh, and synergy makes a ram drag link for $350. Better than stock. Easy DIY and not $700 you paid your mechanic to replace with a cheap parts store (mevotech) drag link.
You thought a few sets of ball joints was bad, but that doesn't constitute a front end rebuild. Steering box, drag link, tie rod, track bar, u joints, radius arm bushings...you were some parts short of a "full" rebuild. Your future CP4 replacements won't be any cheaper than ball joints, that's for sure.
2018 Ram wasn't a bad truck. You just made bad decisions and expected it never to need work.
I just named my 07 chevy avalanche christine all the shitters been hating on her.... it was black Betty but been getting my balls broke and hearing you need a new truck from all my buddies and few others....well im sorry im not until the wheels fall off because this vehicle has been awesome yes had few wire issues and the normal wear and tear but haven't had a payment in years 250ooo miles original drive train full send fellas ill keep running christine!! Gas n oil n gooooo!!
Seems like all the manufacturers have problems with the newer trucks diesel or gas
Just buy a fleet of old 7.3s and 12 valves beef them up and never have major problems
Any new vehicle is a waste of money nowadays...
Too much technology=Planned obsolescence...
As a business owner, it somewhat makes sense because you can write them off... Otherwise not worth anywhere near what they charge for them...
Factory recalls are far more commonplace with today's junk...
And Ford is at the top of the list...
Fuel filters,fuel filters,fuel filters these engines will destroy themselves if you don’t keep them maintained
Sometimes they just destroy themselves because they don’t like you.
Very nice truck there! Petrol trucks though, seriously? No one I know would buy one as a work vehicle, diesel for torque plus efficiency all the way. A flash sports truck as a stylish asset then sure, get a big petrol V8, but not as a work horse. That's just my line of thinking though.
Buy old used with cash and rebuild, can replace everything 10x over for half what a new truck is.
You know what FORD stands for,?
Fix Or Repair Daily.😮😮😂😂😂
Very original 🙄🙄🙄
Ford best years 2015-16 for the obs and 18-19 for the aluminum body trucks. stay away from the 10 speed, they still havent figured out how to make it survive life with a contractor/snow plow guy.
ford only had 56 recalls in 2024 ..smh
I have that f250 great truck, there is 2 things you should do/not do. You need the s&s disaster prevention system for the high-pressure fuel pump, don’t let the truck idle unless you put a high idle switch on it. I guess one extra step as well. Change the oil every 4 to 5000 miles and you’ll never have a problem with it.
Deleting it is priority #1
@@randysavage8963 I agree, deleting it would be priority one, but if you’re looking for a good resale value, then deleting it will hurt you, especially nowadays a dealer won’t give you a good trade-in with a deleted truck because they have to put all the emissions back on it
@@SmittyAccess That is very true and valid it’s a sad world we live in tractors are the same way spend all that money . Then turn around and spend another 5-10 to make them reliable as they once were
Stanley, do you have plans to go to the Chicago Auto Show next year? I also know that it is a special order but you can buy a GMC truck with 3 rows of seats in the cab with an 11ft bed
I never heard of that truck and no plans on the chicago auto show
@Dirtmonkey I talked to GMC at the auto show years ago. You can special order either 1,2 or 3 rows in the cab and you can special order the 11ft bed. I think it started around $110+. But think about how quickly you would fall in love with an 11 ft bed.
Holy wheelbase!!! It Would take 40 acres just to turn around.
@@oneninerniner3427 but just think how great an 11 ft bed would be and how much you could haul with an 11ft bed. And if you pimped it out so it was an 11ft dump bed that would be awesome
your going to have problems out of that motor.
Man I hope yor wrong but it wouldn't be the first time Ford gave me issues
all the new diesel trucks are plagued with problems. the dodges the front ends are garbage. the gm,s everything falls apart.the fords mostly motor issues wich can be bulletproof options. ur best bet is still the ford tbh.
Grate hat Stanley I have one to would like to see more of the teachable stuff & the listen whale you work type education Keep on winning winning winning
5:42 crew cab come on Stan
Lol. I buy the 6.0 diesels that all of you have long given up on and condemned as unreliable turds. It is a platform that is cheap and still able to be worked on with the right diagnosis tools. The engine is way more reliable than believed. It was the tuning and beating on that led to catastrophic failure
The new trucks are a total waste of money no matter how you break it down as far as resale.They are in constant need of repair costing more downtime and money.Its a no win situation as they are built like crap when new.
Diesel is the problem.
Please Stan buy new, I buy new with service package from the Factory, after 3/4 years or 60000 miles trade it in (your losses are minimum)
Screwed up….buy a 1tn don’t pay the excessive tabs….sub 10k rating in Mn you pay based on value. Above 10k you pay like 160$. Thank you Jesse Ventura….lol
Unless you are subject to dot regs obviously
Ok I’m confused is this ur partner? Cus you keep saying we? It sounds like Tim bought the truck but u keep saying we.
Stop buying new $70K High Tax, luxury trucks with spyware for work. It’s dumb. Buy an older truck, bone stock, replace all older parts and call it a day.
My Ford nightmare was in '73 and '74. My fathers nemesis was his 1971 half ton and it was so bad the whole family had nightmares.
That Ford you got now is the worst, to many electronics ,I have a welding business and got rid of my 6.7 for a older 7.3 and a 12 v
when a ford owner says "i blew my trans" he ain't talking about a transmission.
😂😂
😂👍👊
Wrong way paying 80000
1:59 ummm no way was that a 98k MSRP truck brand new in 2022... First off it is a 250 (big mistake) and second it is only a lariat!... Ask me how I know that this truck was no more than 87k MSRP 😂
The 2015 problem wasn't ford's fault
They didn't hire the effing mouse to chew the wires
Besides the mice it was good?
Youre far better off dindijg a 7.3 powerstorke. Completely redoing the entire truck. Spending the little money to get it up to the 400-400hp range. Youll still have 50k in your pocket. And itll laat a million miles.
What until your grenade a Bosch injection pump and have to spend the $12,000 for a new fuel system… #fordtough
thats a bitter pill to swallow
This was an issue in chevy and dodge diesels as well. They all ran the Bosch cp4 pump at one point. Replace the pump with an s&s diesel dcr pump an never worry about it again. Get a cummins an have the heater grid bolt melt off an cost you 35k for a new engine. Everything will have a problem eventually
@jacobbarrett17 The heater grid bolt is not as common as you think. It's also a very easy fix that doesnt cost much and doesn't take long to do. Ram used the CP4 for 2 years on the earlier 5th gens. Powerstrokes have much more issues then just the injection pump. Ram has transmissions issues if you don't bypass the thermostat and change you oil. A 4th gen Ram with a G56 is the best truck ever built and will out last any other truck with good maintenance.
Clickbait... unless that mouse worked for Ford
From nickel and time, to hundred and thousand you to death. Diesels are useless with the emissions stuff doesn’t matter the brand.
That's not a fancy truck it's a peasant truck LOL look at at a platinum and you will see a fancy truck LOL it's a nice truck though.
Same color as mine but I have a 2017 250 6.7 love it I’ve plowed and salted every year with it just hit 100k last week the one thing I would keep a eye on it’s the trans cooler lines they rust to shut so fast just upgraded to the braided lines & the rear camera always gets messed up other than that I love mine

Vehicles are a liability not an asset. You use them up declare depreciation on you taxes, auction them off and start the process over for replacement. They are for business, personal vehicles is an entirely different category. Use a hoopdy to go back and forth to the job.
buy them right and they won't cost you so much and be such a hard thing to swallow
@@Dirtmonkeyexactly people think it’s insane to spend 100k on pickup, if you talking about a daily personal driver then yes that’s insane, for businesses not so much it usually pays for itself 2-3 times over the amount paid over 4 or 5 years. same thing with the excavator and CTL. It all pays for itself and then some, if it’s not your doing something wrong.
Beautiful hat!
Seems to be hit or miss with the fords..... keep up the great work
Nice rig. Mt company has fleet of 7 of the 6.7 diesel f350. They have been ok. They are on the road every day hauling loaded up 16ft trailers all over the US. We recently had to have three of them get the upper oil pan gaskets replaced around 130k, Almost 7k each!!! Ouch Dealer says the 6.7s all need them done at some point.
dang- thats not a good track record for those
@@Dirtmonkeyyea but if you make enough profit with them its worth it for some folks.
That's why I don't even go to the Ford lots when I'm looking for another new truck.
@@Dirtmonkey6.7s only have that issue because of ccv, and 2020 is updated design
i wont buy anything but honda and toyota made
here to help
So who owns the trucks for the company. Does each person have their own and contract to you?
We bought a truck we can’t let anyone use it and we’re gonna resell it. It’s not about how much you can sell the truck for it’s about how much it’s gonna break down and how much money you can make with it. It’s useless if it’s not making money.
Not a chance would I buy a 6.7 Ford too many guys left with a 30,000 dollar repair bill when the engine shits the bed no thanks. You have to delete the truck to make a 6.7 reliable and get rid of the CP4 fuel pump. The emissions crap costs you huge money in repair bills when it fails I know guys that end up with a big bill. I'm a Ford guy I will not buy anything else but Ford pickups, they are only gas powered. We don't buy F-250s here on the West Coast of BC Canada, an F-250 has no "Legal" payload a F-350 SRW crew cab has an easy 1000lbs more payload the rear springs are heavier. I hope you have decent luck with the truck I think it may last because Tim will be the primary driver. It sounds like your work trucks really suffer from employee abuse.
Durmax was also using the CP4.
Big snow storm coming are you plowing tonight here in pa snow on thursday
Getting ready but hopefully it misses us. We aren't totally ready yet
@Dirtmonkey thanks for replying have a good nite
Ford tech here…
Engine is a great engine
Run Archoil fuel additive to save the high pressure fuel system. Adds lubricity to the fuel. Be mindful of fuel quality when filling.
The 10 speed is questionable. Can’t do much about that
Trucks are good trucks
Make sure the fuse panel cover is on tight under the hood. Common issues with water intrusion
Thank you!
