- I Review a 2022 Ford F250 Super Duty with the 6.7 PowerStroke Diesel Engine. I go over the 6.7 powerstroke engine specs and horsepower. I go over the benefits of this 6.7 powerstroke Diesel engine, I talk about the issues this 6.7 diesel engine experiences. Lastly I give my opinion as a heavy Diesel Mechanic if this is a good engine or not.
Duramax Review - • Chevy 2500 6.6 Duramax...
Cummins Review - • RAM 2500 Cummins Diese...
I hope everyone is having a good week! This week I dive into the world of ford super duty trucks! I get to drive a 2022 f250 with the diesel 6.7 powerstroke.
this powerstroke replaced the poorly built powestroke 6.0 engine and the powerstroke 6.4 diesel engine. both of which were not that reliable. luckily this newer engine is much more reliable. over the years ford has developed a couple different revisions and upgrades on the 6.7. the newest was in 2020 when they gave this engine a monstrous 475 hp and 1050 torques from factory which is insane. this truck is very fast.
they upgraded the pistons and fueling system mainly to get those extra power numbers in 2020.
5 things I like about the 6.7 powerstroke:
- Understroke engine. this is great for diesel is allows for very easy production of torque down low in the rpms
- reverse flow engine. makes complete sense with a turbo in the center of the v8
- Strengh, this 6.7 powerstroke is very strong. the main bearings have 6 bolts in them. better then the duramax and the cummins. the heads have 6 bolts per cylinder again better then the duramax and the cummins. the block was strenghened. just a very strong engine.
- elevated idle stock
- valvetrain is very reliable.
This engine is not perfect and there are some issues. the biggest issue is that this engine still uses the bosch CP4 fuel pump. this pump is known to fail and when it does it causes massive issues. the second biggest issue has to do the EGR. the egr cooler tends to clog as well as the EGR temp sensors failing.
I would highly recommend that if you are looking for a used powerstroke to stay above the years 2015. there were much more issues with the earlier powerstrokes then the newer ones.
Anyways guys I hope you liked the video! - Авто та транспорт
300,000 trouble free miles from my 2011 6.7 powerstroke. Still running like new.

Have had a Cummins and now a 22 Powerstroke. Absolutely in love with the Ford. It’s fast as hell and tows so nice. I give Ford’s engineers credit for trying something different and going hard after a good engine. It’s not perfect by any means but it has won me over.
What is the reliability of these engines? I can’t afford to repair one once off warranty. Considering this is an engine that evidently costs $25,000 dollars at least (it’s an almost $13,000 dollar upgrade from a v-8 gasoline engine that costs $11,000.
I really don’t care about horse power or torque beyond 400 hp and 800 lbs of torque. Yes it’s nice to have more but give me 1,000,000 mile reliability on the engine with 500,000 mile reliability on the transmission and I’m satisfied and might be able to justify thr $95,000 dollar cost.
But to have a $95,000 lead weight after 200,000 miles is not good at all.
@@bret9741the engine itself is considered a 400,000+ mile engine but the cp4 is where you get your issues
This truck finally flipped me a loyal Chevy guy for 30 years..Had a 18 550 for work and was so impressed I went out and bought a 21 250 6.7 ..Made me a believer
We’ve had our 2019 6.7 three years, if the 7.3 was available in 2019 I probably would have went for it but this truck is a towing beast and never disappoints.
I have a 2014 F-350 Powerstroke that I bought new and aside from a fuel pump issue it has been a phenomenal truck
How much did it cost to fix it?
The common man can't afford a new work truck. Cost as much as house these days
Finance it with high monthly payments! And once you’ve finally paid it off, it breaks, and time to repeat they cycle….but with higher monthly payments because stuff costs more after a few years.
I got one
You buy a house lately

I see you are in Alberta . We pulled our trailer with our 2019 Ford F250 6.7 Powerstroke from south Missouri to Jasper National Park in Alberta summer of 2022. The truck performed flawlessly and had awesome power. You live in a beautiful part of the world. Enjoyed your video.
Always well done videos. He knows what he is talking about and does not delve into areas he is not familiar with. Too many car you tubers have no clue about what they are talking about.
Thank you Scott! there are a lot more knowledgeable people out there but I try to be honest and tell you guys what I think!
Great video. I'm in the market for an F350 6.7. I was leaning towards 2015 and later. But now I think I'll look for a 2020+ thanks for taking the time making this video. I learned quite a bit on the new 6.7's.
I'm blessed to drive a 2022 6.7 Powerstroke for work and absolutely love it... Awesome video, great info. Keep 'em coming...
I subscribed after watching this and your Duramax review. Excellent non-biased true mechanical review of the engine. Keep making the good videos!
Thank you sir!
1 of the best educational videos I’ve seen in a long time . I am seriously considering purchasing an F-350 or F-450 , 2023 models. I never owned a diesel engine before & trying learn as much as I can about owning & maintenance. I currently own a 2018 Ram 1500 crew cab Big Horn & plan on keeping it for a long time. But I want to get another truck & looking for an F-350 or F-450 to add as my second. I will be watching your video on the 7.3 Godzilla next , in case I decide to get an F-350 SRW crew cab , gas ⛽️. Thank you 🙏!
Dude, your videos are so informative! good stuff man
Loved watching this. About to buy this same truck/engine and was a great confidence booster going into my soon purchase. First diesel truck so it’s a big step and your video is making it nicer.
About to purchase a 2022 myself. Buying a cp4 bypass kit and a lot of fuel lube lol
Love the videos man definitely my second favourite engine , nice to see Ford trying to repair the week links keep it up Alex !!
Thank you sir! happy to see you getting close to that 1000 Sub mark!
@@TheGettyAdventures thank you very much hopefully there is a ton of growth to come for the both of us
I've had two 7.3 Powerstrokes and hotshotted with an 18 6.7 Scorpion. The 6.7 is one of the best I've ever encountered but if she breaks and is out of warranty, ya screwed. Keep it maintained, use the best oil and filters and work it hard, it'll be fine. Too sensitive though
clearly didnt own a 6.4 haha
Or a 6.0 lmao
Great video learned a lot I just bought a 2020 Ford F-350 with the same motor so I learned a lot about this motor and I offered her about the fuel pump going off.
Great info!! I am about to get mine with the 6.7, do you think Archoil fuel additive would help prevent the CP4?
I live in Québec so i am use to snow and cold like you, could it help with condensation too?
High idle switch in ram is the cruise control. Not sure about the other guys. But also if you remote start it like he said it will do high idle on its own. Pretty cool feature.
Stanadyne now has a replacement for the CP4 in the 6.7s and is very similar to the old CP3 design. Would you consider a 6.7 powerstroke if that fuel pump was in the truck?
I have a 2019 F350 6.7 and love it! I maintain regular maintenance and it has been a beast for me
You have wonderful content!! 🤘🏻 great job 👏🏻 I appreciate it
One thing i disagree with is. the 6.0 was far better than the 6.4. the 6.0 can actually be bullet proof'd and nearly be as good as the 7.3 in terms of reliability, it just costs way more to maintenance. the 6.4, no matter how much money you throw at it, it will grenade.
Spot on
Fair enough! I have heard a few people mention that the 6.0 was the better engine of the two. I have had the pleasure of working on a couple 6.4's and can confirm they are hot Garbage.
I have a deleted, bulletproof 6.0 and I love it. It’s been a reliable monster.
The 6.4 is total garbage.
I just traded in a 06 6.0 for a 2015 6.7. My 06 was a great truck but it was getting a little old and even if I bullet proofed it everything else on the truck was already 17 years old. I only ever had 3 problems with my truck, a bad FICM, 2 bad injectors, and a bad alternator, oh and someone tried to steal it right after I bought it. If I get the same results minus the attempted theft out of my 2015 I'll be a happy guy.
@@SgtAlThat’s funny because I just bought a 2020 6.7 for pretty much the same reasons.
I’m gonna miss the 6.0. The 6.7 is also a powerhouse but the lack of whistle and rattle is rather disappointing. It’s too quiet.
A tuned 6.0 with a quality exhaust system on it just sounds so good.
Cummins 6.7 Ram has high idle. Using the cruise control buttons. On/set runs up to 1000 rpm, then +/- to raise to 1500 or back to 1000rpm.
Okay awesome I was not aware of that!
great videos you put out. have you done a video on Ford 6.2? thanks for all the info.
Lots of great info. Much appreciated
How do you feel about the high output 6.7? Maybe a video of that one would be nice. Great video by the way!
Can only get the h.o. on the tremor package. I ordered a 2023 wth that motor a lariat crew 8' box. Dealer called months after the orderv was made and told me due to availability they are only putting that motor in the tremor package. And good luck getting a 2023 tremor in 23.
Appreciate your advice and knowledge. Thank you.
Great collection of information.
With the 2023 adding pro power onboard, is idling these new diesels with the emissions systems ok. A friend destroyed his dpf and mechanic said it was because he idled too much
The power is nice but as a good friend of mine, Chili Palmer, once said, “Speed and Power is nice, but if your important….people will wait”.
Thank u for video it was very helpful and I’m plaining on getting a 2019 f250
@getty adventure is it possible to replace fuel pump in advance on the power stroke & if so which brand/ manufacture do u recommend
Thanks for your input, experience, and expertise.
I am considering buying a 2023 F-350. Have you looked over to new high output model? Other than power and torque do you see any changes and or any foresee any possible reliability issues. Thank you.
I just get 2022 Ford F 250 Power stroke and really like it. I was debating between Ford and Ram . Had couple Rams with Cummings before and really like the engine, but I can not get over the 6 speed transmission, maybe was just the truck I was testing, but honestly never driven truck before with such bad shifting transmission, take forever to downshift during acceleration . Driving Ford with 10 speed transmission was deciding factor to buy one.
Same here went with ford because all our trucks at work are ford and they can take abuse my work truck is a ecoboost 3.5 love it , our f450 trucks pull very well so a 6.7 was a easy decision for me
How you feel about fuel lubricants? Like archoil or hotshots? That seems like the fix for the CP4 time bomb. Great content btw. Thanks
I love my 2018 ram cummins, however my biggest gripe would be the use of the 6 speed transmition. Ford and GM are using the 10 speed. I like your review on these trucks but ya im not a fan of those CP4`S. I would love to see how Ram counters this new powerstroke lol.
My 2008 F450 6.4 was AWESOME!! I loved the 6.9 mpg while towing and the constant stream of blown radiators was so much fun…
😂 they aren't that bad
@@rustyshackleford7265 yes Rusty, the 6.4’s were that bad. There are some diesel mechanics that won’t touch them. I owned 5 super duty diesel trucks since 2001. I am burned to a crisp with Ford. The 7.3’s leaked fluids like a net. My 2008 6.4 was an absolute joke. My 2011 6.7 was better but I still had a steady stream of big repairs. Then Ford started making their diesel trucks out of aluminum, that was the last straw. I don’t shoot plastic guns and I don’t drive tin trucks. I ordered a 2023 F-250 King Ranch a year ago. I keep getting emails from Ford telling me they can’t get this part or that part. When and if it comes in I’m gonna buy it, drive it home, park it in the barn and sell it and clear 15K or 20K in profit. But I won’t keep it.
@@markturner5207lmfao you realize how stupid you sound? Tin is not aluminum and if the body panels are STEEL dont mean it will survive a missle. Do you realize the frames and bumpers are STEEL not ALUMINUM and to my knowledge there is not a single piece of TIN on these trucks?
You dont plan on getting in a wreck and even if you do it doesn’t matter what the paper thin body panels are made out of your truck is ether totalled because of airbags or they just replace panels even if they were STEEL they still break when wrecked people dont bend the panels back and do body work like they used to
@@markturner5207you can’t just buy a new truck and sell it for a profit lol. Good luck with that plan
@@philliphols sorry to bust your bubble Phillip, but that’s exactly what I did with my 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser, bought it for 79k then in 2022 sold it for 94k. Btw, the ford finally did arrive, sticker price on it was 99k and it was a slapped together pos. I passed on it because I love my AT4 so much. The salesman had that pos ford sold before I left his office. So all is well.
Just sold my gen2 2015 6.7 with 210,000 and loved every min of it. had very little issuse with it besides def pump and 4wd. Until I peaked under the truck after a small oil leak to realize that I had motor oil leaking out of every single orifice all the way around the motor, fixed a few of the simple leaks… like vacuum pump that were caused by Ford torque specs, then got it traded in before it died. Never had problems with power and loved it…!! Just got the new 2022 chevy Duramax high country package. Seeing a serous loss of mpg under a load like 22/17 on highway down to 11/8 under a load, thought it was crazy to see such a drop, but that’s my only complaint so far.. love the new truck and enjoying it but miss the thought of having a Ford.
Nice video. Can you talk about the transmission next time.
The 10 speed. Yes I could talk about that
Ram has a high idle switch that goes back to the early 3rd gens. However ford has the option to activate active regens at idle. I believe you have to tell the dealer to unlock it
I have a 2021 F250. Does the "high idle" automatically start. ? First time I have heard of this feature. Secondly, when did they make it dual exhaust. ? I have the dual exhaust tip, but it is attached to a single exhaust.
Awesome, awesome video. Is that wind howling in the conclusion? Will have to wait and see on the shorter pistons. I'm gonna cross diesel and gas engines so don't beat me up too much. GMs vortec engines had piston slap issues when they used short pistons. They were aluminum so prob needed extra space for expansion which is a likely cause of slap. Luckily S&S fueled has a DCR fuel pump replacement kit for these engines now. Seems there is now a way to eliminate the primary concern for these engines
Great video!
Does anyone know if the CP4 issue was fixed in the 2023 redesign? I was considering a Ford, but pretty leery now.
Have a 2017 f250 146,000 running strong no issues yet first diesel truck. Been doing all the maintenance myself. 5,000 oil changes with fuel filters, clean Map sensor with trans filter at 30,000 miles.
Perfect sir! keeping up with the maintenance is the best thing you can do!
My 19 has 24K miles…not very many at all but I change the oil every 5K and fuel filter and air filters and drain the water every oil change
Not once has the mechanic told me that I had too much water. Bet this truck can go well over 200K-300K if its taken care of
Mine is.
is your truck deleted? I really want one but costly repairs have me undecided. Thank you
@@MrNitrojoquiPSD is one of the cheapest to um change things out on. Add a s&s disaster relief kit for the cp4 fuel pump and you are golden. Change fuel filters every oil change and do every oil change every 5,000 miles.
The scary part about the PSD is the cp4 failing and grenadine the entire fuel system. That's 12k when it goes bad. The kit is 300ish and is a huge piece of mind, absolutely huge. Pump fails? The extra inline Filters caught every piece of shrapnel from the pump.
Thank you so much for the information
Can the CP3 pump be retrofitted on the 6.7?
I have a 2016 F250 with the 6.7 currently with 189,000 miles. Love the truck. Great power and good fuel economy. I had the factory radiator start leaking around 160,000. I also know of another 2015 truck that had the same radiator issue around 150,000. The leak is common where the plastic is moulded to the aluminum. Only other issue has been a DEF tanker heater going out.
I’ve been through 2 DEF heaters on my 2011. Did the second one myself on a Saturday
Thank you. I appreciate the videos.
The cp4 is extremely delicate. Any fuel contaminants can trash it. Changing fuel filters every oil change can help avoid this. Most people neglect the filter
a little more costly but it will save you in the long run!
I change the fuel filters ever 20K miles and have over 200k miles in my 2012 6.7L
Never have had any fuel problems.
What are your thoughts on installing a "Disaster Prevention Kit" such as the one from SPE Motorsport? If the CP4 fails it would at least prevent contaminants from getting to the fuel rail or back to the tank.
Just a solid video. I have a 2022 F350 6.7 Powerstroke and agree the CP4 is a concern -so I am flipping the yellow water drain on the 1st of every month along with changing fuel filters every oil change to try and protect the pump. I do love the truck’s power. Thanks again for posting this video. Good stuff.
what’s the yellow water drain 😅
I use an additive as well
Yellow water drain?
@@kevinmcquitery4543it’s just the drain valve on the bottom of the filter housing. It’s yellow for visibility.
I liked the video. Being a diesel, what are your thoughts on that s&s disaster kit? s&s claims their kit will save your fuel system.
I am wondering the same thing. It would be an easy cure!!
What do you think about the transmission they have it paired with? Seems like the Allison is best, and we know the 63RFE with ram has limitations. Great videos by the way. You provide a lot more substance and useful information than the other UA-cam reviewers. They are usually just surface level...
I think it depends on how well you keep your truck maintained. If you do the regualr maintenance at the scheduled intervals or sooner then the truck should last you a long time. I personally do my scheduled maintence like oil/filter changes every 3000, trans oil/filter at 5000 miles if new for the first time and have the fluid purged then every 10,000. Change the transfer case at this time as well. Differential fluids at 5000 if new for the first time.
Cummins uses 2 main cap bolts because it’s an inline 6 engine. Crank naturally flexes less on a inline engine, needing less support.
Still driving my 2002 7.3 been loading up on dividend stocks and gold and silver.
Me too best truck I have ever owned.
I have a 21 powerstroke with 170k 0 problems whatsoever. I have towed over 28,000lbs for 150k. I think there is not as many problems as everyone says. We also need to remember how many more ford's there is on the road than the other 2.
Nice video!
My 05 Dodge 3500 5.9 and I bought this truck new and after the first year I put a intank Fleece dual gear motor pumps and one pump runs off factory harness the second pump has its own harness so the good thing is if one goes out the other will get you home and I have a lift pump pressure gauge on dash to watch my pumps and I put the Two filter kit with first filter is a big Baldwin 5 micron water separator with drain and the second filter is a cat filter is a 2 mircron filter and the third filter is in the stock location is a Balwin 5 mircron with water separator with drain and a light on dash to tell you that there is water in that filter and buy my fuel from Quick Trip fuel stop and they sell a ton of fuel and being a retired car hauler for GM I don’t buy fuel from a stop if a tanker is unloading their fuel because when they dump fuel in their tanks it stirs up anything that might be in their tanks and may not mean anything but that’s what I have always done .
It's not the pump it's the fuel we use here in America
How do you activate the high idle?
Yes! Liked and Subscribed.
Thank you sir!
Good video, I started looking at the 6.7 a bit ago and was very impressed as I dug deeper into it. Personally Im a Cummins guy but Ford did good with this engine.
I believe FORD has taken a lot of credit for it...but I read that the engine was designed by an Austrian Company called AVL...U Can look it up...but anyway, doesn't matter,..it has proven to b a good platform... although a complete clusterfuck...🤣🤣👍👍
@@elroyelblander6277 I will have to check that out! Thanks for the info.
Do Amercan Ford diesels run a vaporizer in the DEF exhaust system? I saw it on a European video about DEF issues and never heard of it in the states. I'm not a mechanic but I do a lot of at home repairs. It looked like changing the vaporizer was doable and he said it wasn't too expensive of a part.
So here’s a stupid question. I don’t know anything about diesels but how much would it be to replace the CP4 fuel pump and upgrade with a better aftermarket option. Or is that even possible? Sounds like this may be the best diesel engine if the fuel pump wasn’t an issue?
Stanadyne is $2000, only fits up to 2019 or 20 (not sure). 21+ units are supposed to be coming soon.
Does installation of a oil catch can fix the clogged EGR?
One thing I would think of is the heat dispersing into the surrounding areas, as bmw has found, at around 1000 miles the gaskets, plastic and rubber pipeline craps out, its actually harder to get rid of the heat
I'll give props to Ford engineers with the fuel filter setup on them. Infinitely easier to do those fuel filters than on a Cummins. Ford put the fuel filter on top of the engine and the other one off to the side by the frame rail. Ram put the rear filter above the rear driveshaft and the other one is buried and you need a couple extensions and possibly a swivel joint to get that out...unless the last one didn't oil up the o-ring, then good luck getting that thing out.
we change our fuel filters on our rams in 5 minutes !
Ya, sure ya do….
@@mojo4376easier to do shit faster when you bought the $5,000 special tool that lets you do it 3 seconds faster lmao
I’ve noticed that we’re not seeing very many egr cooler issues since 2015. The earlier 6.7s had a lot of clogged egr coolers, But that problem seems to have been solved. We do very few egr coolers now. As for the fuel pumps, we’ve traced most failures to bad fuel and lack of maintenance. But when they do fail, they fail catastrophically.
Arent there after market fuel pumps to replace the jump fuel pumps with
Love my 2020. The only concern for me was the transmission recall, but I knew it was a gamble for the first year 10 speed.
So your 10spd is still doing good? I have Godzilla with it. Been fine for me
I run about 2 miles to work. I also pull a 12,000 lb 5th wheel camper several times a year.
I have heard you need to run the DEF trucks for at least 30 minutes at a time to not have issues. Is this true and if so is there anything that can help like running a high quality DEF fluid and fuel octane booster to get a cleaner burn?
Octane !!! that’s a gas thing not diesel … your aware these are direct injection engines so pre ignition is impossible … octane rating for diesel is of zero use or concern
Every few weeks I drive about 2 hours to another town to do some shopping, visit a cigar lounge, and drive home. Every other few weeks I take the wife to another tiny town across Nevada Stateline to throw some coins into the slots. That is 45 minutes away. So I run my Ford 6.7 enough to allow the engine to warm up and burn off the carbon soot.
2015 + Cummins have a high Idle option, by just hitting a couple bottoms on the steering wheel.. Nice to have
Can you run regular diesel with the p4 pump?
My question to you is the CP4.2 ford switched to in 2020 is supposed to be vastly better than the CP4. Is this the case or no??
There isn't a CP4 on a Powerstroke. All 6.7L Powerstrokes have a CP4.2
Knowing that there’s several 6.7s in the million+ mile club is enough for me.
You can get any diesel truck in the million mile club if you’re willing to throw enough money at it…
You didn’t address something very important to us Mountain West users…
How effective is the engine braking?
My 2009 Cumins dually has a very effective engine brake. Love it!
I couldn’t tolerate anything less effective with our steep grades/descents pulling loaded up trailers.
Overall great review of the current Powerstroke
Cape Breton?
So do the new 6.7 HO motors still use the Bosch CP4 fuel pump?
Yes
Can i put the older pump on the new powerstroke
Semi trucks you drive quite a few thousand miles before you doing oil change so yes, changing your fuel filters at every oil change or PM makes sense. But I’m pick up trucks not really I have a 6.6 L L5P diesel engine from General Motors.and I do mine every other oil change, and I use a good quality fuel filter, I like to use wicks fuel filters. Wicks fuel filters, filter, down to 2 µm with OEM filters filter down to 3 or 4 µm.
you aren't wrong, no need to change your fuel filters if you are doing oil every 5,000 miles but for the Cummins at least they recommend an oil change every 15,000 miles or 6 months so it makes sense there. I didn't look up the Powerstroke interval or Duramax but I of figured it would be similar so changing your fuel filters twice a year is probably where you would want to be.
can u convert the cp4 to a cp3 pump on these 6.7s?
The dcr from S&S corrects the cp4 problem for $2k. Worth it!
The more research I do, I am finding the CP4 issue is not as people make it seem. There were some issues with them but there are literally 100's of thousands of 6.7 's that have no Fuel pump issues! I think the video's make people sensitive to it. I'm not saying don't take precautions to make sure the filters are changed and use good diesel fuel, but I think this issue is overrated after speaking with multiple local diesel mechanics.
Ford had some issues with the early editions. And even they were often attributed to people not changing their fuel filters on time .
Owned many Powerstrokes over the years. This one is only $50,000 more than I'd pay. What a deal!
Sorry. Wrong video I was intending to reply to.
I've heard one can "fix" the issue of the CP4 pump by getting an aftermarket lift pump? Do you know if that's true and if so, how much ball park, is that?
If you live in colder environments, its going to cause issues.
@@lyricalprophet100 i live in Utah
You have to have hi volume pump and at least 2 2 micron fuel filters with a very good water separator so good luck with that mess !
Can I just replace the fuel pump super early? A year or two?
I have a 2019 f350. Upper pan gasket leaks oil. It was fixed once under warranty but it’s leaking again. Coolant leak I fixed myself. Now a manifold leak. It’s an ok truck but the leaks annoy me. 127k miles on the clock
As a professional diesel guy, what is the engine temp that you think a guy should wait for it reach (to warm up) before heading down the hwy ?
So thats a very debated topic. Personally I don't think a diesel engine should he idled for very long. Fire the truck up for a minute or two and let it run and then get it on the road. Now I wouldnt put any major pressure on the engine until the oil is up to temp. If you are towing right out of the driveway. I would let the truck warm up longer.
I try not to idle my Duramax any more than necessary. The best way to warm a newer generation diesel is let it idle a minute or 2 then drive it gently until it reaches operating temp.
@@TheGettyAdventures thanks for the input, I typically warm up my 18 ram 6.7 for 5-15 minutes depending on a number of situation, oil temp I usually wait till it’s 50 c before moving
not supposed to warm up these motors, they warm up faster driving. Idling just causes emissions problems down the road. Minute or 2 at most to bring up oil and then drive it moderately until its up to full temperature.
You said you were a professional, why you asking the guy with a youtube channel?
I have 2 LML trucks 2016 with 230k miles no issues and bone stock and a 2012 LML with 394k miles completely deleted I have the complete fuel system replaced at 260k(bad fuel?) neither have lift pumps, anything aftermarket on stock base never tuned. Cost me 4k to do the fuel system replacement damn cheaper that buying another truck
At 7:58 did you say 2024 or 2020, Ford?
Will the 7.3 Godzilla tow a landscape trailer or do I need the 6.7L Powerstroke to tow a landscape trailer? Is it better than the 6.6L V8 and 6.4 Hemi?
What's are you towing on the trailer?

@@CodyTheBmxMan my F250 with the 7.3 can tow 13k from the hitch so some lawnmowers and stuff should be fine
Great video. I just switched my 2015 dually Ram for a 2022 f450 and other than the weaker exhaust brake the ford wins hands down including fuel economy which surprised me
Did you have to get commercial insurance? What are your rates out of curiosity?
Contract with navistar was about to or already ended at that point
GMs issue with CP4 was the lack of lift pump. I've had 2 CP4 powerstrokes and not one issue. The exact reason I never had issues was quality fuel. I only bought fuel from where I delivered it. I know where the fuel came from, the station it went into. I just never had fuel issues with my 2014 Volvo 730 either. Again I knew where the fuel came from.
Ok,fill us in on what and where to get The good fuel
@derrickwilson4588 well I have an in as I am a fuel hauler. And I would never buy fuel at a off brand station. It's not always the same terminal as the "top-tier" stations(Shell, Petro-Canada, Esso). Even the top tier independent stations can have the lower grade fuels(it's just the additive package) and some of brand can have top tier fuel(some Circle K). Always buy fuel at a location that sells lots of fuel(but isnt a shithole). Truck stops are usually higher priced but they sell the quantity and are less likely to have contaminated fuel(mixed fuel in the trailer) as the trucks only load 50,000l of diesel. It only takes 7% of the fuel to be gasoline to cause issues in the fuel system of any diesel. So if a driver didn't walk out a hose(procedure for switching tanks/fuel at a station) a 20ft hose has more than 30l sitting in it while laid out from truck to tite-fill(elbow to the in-ground tank) lots of small stations get their deliveries of all three(reg, diesel, premium) in one load. Procedure for most companies is to off load DIESEL FIRST. Beacise of the higher cost of contamination, and the tighter tolerances, gasoline engine will happily run a 18% diesel mix(depending on the engine). The main killer to the cp4 is water in fuel. Too many people fail to drain the water on a regular basis. It doesn't take much to hurt the pump. Water emulsfies in the fuel when it's moved, it will settle out after sitting. You can't load jet fuel into a tanker that last carried diesel fuel because of the risk of emulsifcation. Each compartment of jet fuel has to sit for a set time and then be tested for density/temperature and water content, before being sealed and shipped. Water in Jet fuel will bring down a plane. When its -40 to -60 at 39000ft, that will plug a fuel line for sure
You should also tell people that you should probably replace the CP4 pump with a cp3 conversion kit. It's costly, but nowhere near as costly as repairing that fuel system. on a 2014 6.7, i found one for 750$
