If you own one of these trucks, what advice would you give to someone who just purchased one?

A stationary regen can work wonders.

Fuel and oil lubrication and filtration. I run amsoil dual filtration oil and oil filters. good lubricating fuel additive especially when towing. Diesel engines need good air in and exhaust out.

The 2012 F250 was the 6.2. It’s been a farm truck since 2015. So it’s working.

I keep seeing videos of mechanics saying these emissions systems, especially DEF, causes unnecessary engine wear, which is why many newer trucks stop working at 100k miles or earlier, when the older trucks last well over 200k some even have over 300k miles.

It’s because the mechanics only see the broken ones 😂

@powerstrokemaintenance which is why they hate em if I had to fix emissions 90 percent of my career I would have a problem, with it as well not to mention it's expensive

Great video. Also if you have to idle your 6.7 I advise getting a high idle switch installed. Best thing to do if you must idle for any length and f time

Thanks for the comment! That’s a great point to add!

Get the right 6.7 and you won’t have to install a switch. 😂

This had been helpful for sure. I already know a bit of this stuff from driving MTVs and the PLS in the Army but sometime in the near future I want to have a diesel to use as a daily as well as for my future job so I am making sure to learn all I can to make it last. I made sure my almost 30 year old Toyota lasted for this long once it passed onto my hands so I want to keep that vibe going lol

Love diesel…not the price. My first diesel was a 99 F250 7.3 red crew cab. Loved that truck. I had it for 13 years. Only had 160K on it when I traded it for a gas truck. I went from smart power to dumb power. Now I have a 2020 F350 6.7L. So far I love it. Tows my dump with ease. Highway travel at 76-78mph I get around 22mpg with 1500lbs in the bed. Now when to spend lots of money on ALL fluid and ALL filter changes? I do normal service every 5K. It’s nearly at 60K. Good information thank you.
@powerstrokemaintenance2 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment! Definitely agree with you on not liking the price. The price to buy and maintain these things is absurd...even if you do most of your own maintenance. What gas truck did you have?

I like number 5. My Power Stroke is a beast on the highway - it really likes running right at 70 mph. It sounds so good. But, also need to take care not to over do it especially whe towing loads up long steep grades.
@powerstrokemaintenance8 ай бұрын
It does seem like these trucks love highway miles. What do you do to reduce strain on the truck when towing up hill?
@sweb46148 ай бұрын
Thanks for the reply! It's just a matter of not gettig too heavy with the pedal. Let the transmision downshift to keep RPM's up and not lug and over heat the engine - or transmission.

Congratulations! Those are awesome trucks. Do you have a DPF percentage readout on your dash? If not I would get a dealer or shop to enable it for you. Outside of that it’s hard to tell but the exhaust note and engine sound does change when the truck goes into regen
