I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2011 F350 Lariat with only 66k miles. The truck is in mint condition inside and out except for some surface rust in spots on the undercarriage. The driver's seat doesn't even have ass prints in it yet. That said, I have some concerns now after watching this video. I'm always suspicious of first year body style changes and this video confirmed my suspicions.
I just had my 06 F350 6.0L to 3 different shops that couldn't figure out a stalling issue on hwy, finally a shop in Kamloops found out it was the under dash internal fuel pump fuse relay that was intermittent, he by passed with new relay and wires to fuel pump and now she's finally running again! This should be an automatic upgrade for every 6.0L owner!
I bought a 2014 f250 lariat 6.7 turbo diesel with 31,500 for $40,500. I’ve kept up with the oil changes,CCV,brakes,tires,shocks,fuel filters,air filter just general maintenance and love my truck. I am very aware of the cp4 fuel pump problem and have looked into preventative measures in case it decides to implodes….
Do a S&S disaster prevention kit ....I have the same truck and with only 86k miles my CP4 took a crap ... costing me 14,650 $ cash out of pocket ....no contamination was found by dealership in fuel ....400 dollars could have saved me a small fortune
These transmissions have been known to have some solenoid shifts, can you revert it back to stock and see if the harsh shifts continue? Usually, it'll take 100 miles or so before they smooth out after a re-flash.
Senior master tech here… the CP4 problem (in my experience) is blown out of proportion. Use fuel additive and change your fuel filters every other oil change, and you will not see problems.
If ceramic ball bearing turbo fails. What’s the upgrade then back to steel ball bearings Do diesel turbos see much higher temps than gas applications like sports cars, and tuners?
Exactly, the replacements are steel ball-bearing turbos which are farm more reliable! Diesel exhaust gas temps are usually lower but the airflow is slower at lower rpms so the heat dissipation is slower. This issue might have been more build quality rather than a specific issue with them being ceramic.
i actually found a 2012 ford f350 crew cab long bed dually with 146.7k miles on it, it looks solid ngl, the dealership guy showed me a video of the engine running and i hear no ticking or clacking sounds. Are the '12s engines a solid choice? i hear they usually have turbocharger issues, including egr dfm etc issues, and i wanna try and delete them, would it be a good idea to get them?? if someone can help me out id appreciate it :)
The bottom ends on the 12's are solid, it was only really the 11's that had the bottom end issues. The turbos are still the weak point but replacements aren't too expensive if you want to replace it down the line!
CP4's are hit and miss, we've replaced them on 21's with under 50k and we've got customers who have trucks over half a million and they're running fine. The usual culprit on a CP4 is bad gas, water in fuel, bad maintenance etc. And on the 11's they're the early style pumps so they're more susceptible to issues. 74k is decent miles though, you'd likely be good if you kept up on filter changes, good fuel and a fuel system saver of some kind.
What happens if your truck already had its cp4 replaced under warranty do they give you a better one mine was done on my truck around 75k before I owned it 2013 model
If you have the upgraded CP4 you are more protected from the failures, but it can still happen, so if you want to be extra safe we'd just go with the Exenergy system saver for peace of mind.
Should i even consider a 380k mile 2014 truck, tomorrow i will be looking at an f250 being sold that its said to have 380k but truck looks well cared for on photos price is very cheap
That is quite a few miles so it's hard to say, we've seen these trucks with good maintenance last over 500 but you're going to see things like wheel bearings, bushings and general suspension components needing to be replaced even if the engine and transmission is solid. If the truck is well maintained when you go look at it, then it could be a good unit for you but just be sure to check it out thoroughly.
16's are great trucks. Same issues with the CP4 pumps and vacuum pump leaks, but their turbo's, transmissions, drivetrains and bodies are all solid! Make sure it's been well cared for and you should be good!
Dont forget egr and ccv pumping soot and oil into intake, caking it up with crud.

Ford has to face Gods judgment for making that 6.4 and 6.0 diesels.
International made the 7.3, 6.0 and 6.4. Ford had little design input on them, and it’s not really their fault.

I’m looking at a 2012 with 187k and seems to have harsh downshifts. Could it be possible that it’s a tune issue or solenoid issue?

2012 f250 turbo replaced a year ago, sounds like a loud siren when engine is cold. Quits when it warms up.
Sounds like exhaust manifold leak. When it warms up the gasket closes
At what mileage does this all begin to occur? I have a 2011 6.7 with 76k on her
I’m a Cummins guy I have a 04, 07, 12, & 16’ year model trucks I’m considering a 14 6.7 I just worry about the cp4 issue

@@dirtydieselcustom3 weeks later, thank you so much!!
Went to look at a 2011 f350 with 74k miles on it. When do the pumps fail if they do? Don’t wanna buy a ticking time bomb

Could we get a buyers guide for the 6.4 powerstroke? I know they have potential
No
Im looking into the 2016 6.7 platinum f250. Are those not as reliable as the 2011-14 year models?
16's are great trucks. Same issues with the CP4 pumps and vacuum pump leaks, but their turbo's, transmissions, drivetrains and bodies are all solid! Make sure it's been well cared for and you should be good!
I just need reliable heavy duty pickup truck so I can haul my food trailer
12-14 Powerstrokes are solid trucks
@@dirtydieselcustom so stay away from 2015-2016
