Co-worker with 6.4 Ford Power Stroke problems.

Did they buy it from the dealership that has been servicing it? If so maybe the dealership will step up and give them a good deal on trade for another truck.

That's what I suggested but it sounds like they would take a loss. You'd think the dealership would step up and make it right.

If they bought a truck with 70,000 miles on it from a dealership and could only drive it for two weeks in four months and now the dealership won't work with them, they should see a lawyer. How many miles did they drive it in those two weeks?

 

[dodge man]

Most of the miles would be back from the dealership which is about an hour drive for them. I'm guessing they just put a few hundred miles on it.

The problem with a lawyer is where does the money come from? Do you spend a few thousand bucks on a lawyer and not come out ahead?

I told her to write down all the times it's been in the shop, send a letter to the owner and demand a trade dollar for dollar. I'd also think the warranty company would want to get out from under that truck.

I do agree with some strong letters first which is why I referenced if the dealership will not work with them. They can ask the lawyer to take a percentage of the deal or include their costs in the settlement request. The dealership likely would settle out of court.

Nice to see you and DP getting along ? You are two great contributors .

Sounds like the previous owner mistakenly put gas in it then dumped it asap to some poor sucker.

The 6.4 has been a good motor all in all. Most issues are related to DPF.

You have just about lost all credibility with this statement. The 6.4 Ford is nothing more than a steaming pile of junk that rates up there with GM's 350 diesel. There's a reason why they only made the engine for two years.

What kind of piece of junk would ford have to put out before you would admit that its a pos?

Ford didn't make the 6.4 Navistar did. Ford stopped using it due to emissions requirements. The 6.4 was not going to meet them. Ford was upset ( to say the least) with all the problems from the 6.0. And decided to make their own engine that is why it was only used for three years 2008-2010.

So has the new Ford engine (6.7?) Proven to be reliable?

Aren't there stats that show how (un)reliable the 6.4 is to take the opinions, and insults, out of this discussion?

Exactly. The emission stuff is the issue.
