Now days you don't pull the engine you pull the cab

I'd be sick if that was my truck

MMM.... Thats not good.... We had a customer put DEF fluid in a tractor fuel tank and it ruined the entire fuel system. Thankfully it didnt get into the engine.
Injection pump came apart and sent metal everywhere

My friends 2500 did the same thing. Good thing it was still under warranty. They must have gotten a bad batch of pumps

Erin, ford started that trend a few years ago. You have to pull the cab just to replace the injectors on the newer ones. Didn't know the GM was bad as the ford.Quote:

All the manufacturers goal is to eliminate the shade tree mechanic

Hate to see that. I'm always doubtful once they start tinkering around, the vehicle will ever run right. Hopefully, that won't be the case.
That's a first for me. I hope they get it all straightened out and back on the road for you.
Been there done that.....and mines not common rail.

Go to the junkyard and find a cool body to drop on it. El Camino maybe?
I had to replace the entire fuel rail system on my duramax also. If I understood correctly GM had some aluminum injector parts that do not hold up. Mine blew apart with only 2000 miles left on the 100,000 mile warranty, so I was lucky. GM knows the parts are defective because the replacement parts are steel, not aluminum. Should be a recall on all of the affected models, but I doubt it will ever happen because it cost 8-9K to fix. My mechanic had done 5 others when I came in, he hasn't had any problems with any he has fixed. I have put 45,000 miles on mine since then and haven't had any problems.
I hate to say it but I'm considering trading for the F word. I mean the F--- word

I have two F450 6.7's service trucks, one has no issues the other nickel and dimes me a bit on smaller stuff (I think it's the driver, lol). Only thing I'm worried about is both are 2011's and have the ceramic ball bearing turbos, which newer ones don't. Just a matter of time, hope I'm wrong...
My next service truck will be a Dodge, say what you will, but a Cummins diesel is hard to beat!!
I drive a 2016 f450 6.7. That engine is a hoss. Like you said about the early turbos I've also read the early models have glow plugs that shatter, not good.Quote:

Got the first goat I've ever had in my life because of issues with both a couple of years ago. It's had a rough life daily here and hasn't been to the shop yet. Cummings. 132,000 mi so far. Has surprised me to tell it straight.
When I was still working we ran those B series cummins in our straight trucks and small single axle delivery tractors. Best small diesel out there. Nothing rougher than stop and go delivery all day every day with every type of non driver you can find. Only problem we ever had on the newer ones in 2010 and 2011 was the EGR valves and they got that straightend out pretty quick. Easy 500,000 mile engine if taken care of. My brother in-law has one with over 200,000 never been to shop. His 7 fords live in the shop.
Come to the dark side:)Quote:
