[@bret9741]

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.

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.

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.

[@Ratkill9000]

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.

[@ghettohey2388]

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.

There’s no way to go “back” to a CP3 on these engines, as they never used one to begin with and there’s not enough space to put a CP3. Run good fuel, drain your water separator regularly, use an additive to increase fuel lubricity, and install a bypass kit to contain a catastrophic CP4 failure to the pump itself.

[@jimm2442]

Very well done video. As a retired mechanic myself when it came time for me to purchase a new truck I had to eliminate the 6.7 Ford early on based solely on its use of the Bosch CP4.2 HPFP. I like the design of that engine otherwise. I also do not like that both Ford and RAM inject fuel on the exhaust stroke when a regeneration is commanded. GM has a "9th" injector that injects fuel directly into the exhaust system which prevents cylinder wash down and engine oil fuel dilution. The last reason the Ford 6.7 was off my list was because of upper oil pan leaks that required the cab to be removed to repair with an average cost of $4k. I heard this problem may be eliminated on the latest generation. The real bummer about this engine is it cannot be retrofitted with a CP3, there is not enough room in the valley where it mounts. Both the RAM 6.7 and the 6.6 LML (2011 to 2016) Duramax can be retrofitted. Like you I could never feel comfortable getting in that truck and not constantly worrying about that CP4 and risking $12k for replacing the entire fuel system and having to put a CP4 right back on it. Not in my lifetime. Thanks again you knocked this one out of the park!

[@outbacker292]

Yea kinda surprised he didn’t mention the upper oil pan leak issue that seems to plague some 6.7 PSD owners. It’s a very labor intensive and expensive repair.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

Thank you Jim, and yes the CP4 pump just makes me very uneasy even though ford has had less failures it's still not something I want to get into. And like you mentioned if the pump does fail they give you another CP4 pump. I also agree with you about the fuel doser injector that GM uses. Much better design for regens. all the big Detroit Diesels I work on all use a separate fuel injector to inject fuel into the exhaust.

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.

[@TheGettyAdventures]

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.

[@ni1469]

I was a powerstroke fan until I got tired of the constant issues from multiple 6.7’s. I’m going to Cummins on any newer trucks I get. The exhaust manifold location has caused major warranty issues for ford having holes melt through the block due to heat not being able to escape which is why no one else does that layout, better to loose minimal efficiency than to melt pistons, cylinder walls, and/or turbos. I haven’t had engine melt down personally but my buddy working at the dealer by me quit after getting tired of swapping engines, I have had multiple turbo meltdowns though once causing all the paint to burn off a hood. I have an 06 6.0, a 10 6.4 and have had multiple 7.3s all have been consistently more reliable than the 6.7 that can’t stay out of a shop bay. If the truck isn’t down it has ok power compared to the factory 6.0 but has nothing on the 6.4’s power or fuel mileage both are deleted, the 6.4 is an srw f350 vs the f450 6.7. Fuel mileage isn’t a fair comparison but the power output is

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 KZbin reviewers. They are usually just surface level...

[@mirrorglassgames]

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$

[@mitchmcqueen8425]

2x4 against the pedal and the seat, move the seat to where you want it and boom, high idle. That kit cost me $0 on my old 12V Cummins.

[@anthonytraficante8886]

Cp4 disaster prevention kit. $200 and a few hours to install. Pump goes - you only have the pump to replace. Not the whole system. Not a replacement for a better pump - but it at least removes the risk of a $12k bill.

[@jnk26]

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.

[@derrickwilson4588]

Ok,fill us in on what and where to get The good fuel

[@jnk26]

@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

The Ram has a high idle feature as well. When idling you turn on the cruise control and push set and it high idles. You can also use the up and down for adjusting how high you want the idle. Not sure if GM has a high idle in the newer trucks. I know they have a high idle “to warm the heater up quicker” but think that only works with the heater on.

+1. On a BMW, to put the box in neutral, you need to jack it up, get under the car, remove the lid, and insert the screwdriver into a special place. On a Volvo, to change the gas pump, it is necessary to disassemble the rear suspension. It's just some kind of horror.

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.

[@mattlimberg5763]

I tested these engines in a dynamic for oil and fuel tests. This was the worst engine, ran so hot that the turbo glowed hot enough to see through and also set off the fire sprinklers because of the heat. Those push tubes actually got pretty much welded to the bridges and rockers, making it an extremely difficult engine to tear down.

You mentioned some good points, but if the fuel pump is the only issue, it would be easier to replace the pump with a more desirable unit from the aftermarket.
