Don’t Buy This Truck…They Messed Up

[@kwaggs19]

I’ve been a Cummins guy since day 1, but after seeing very low mile 22 model engine failures I purchased a 20 6.7 Powerstroke. For the first time ever, I genuinely think the Ford is a more reliable platform aside from the CP4. I weighed failing CP4 vs failing engine and 10k 68rfe rebuild. Sad day to see. Whenever Ram can get a lifter and trans setup worth having, I’ll switch back. I have a feeling I’ll be waiting some time.

[@Jim_Lawrence]

If you hadn't heard, look up the DCR pump conversion from S&S for that Power Stroke. Sounds like a fix for the CP4, which should remove your only gripe.

[@kwaggs19]

@@Jim_Lawrenceas soon as warranty is up it’s getting weight reduction and a DCR. I plan on taking it to 200k reliably. We’ll see how the 10R holds up

[@Jim_Lawrence]

Sounds like a good plan. My only caution is the weight reduction tuning sounds like it may be sub par. I have no experience with that though.

[@williammorgan5987]

Well I’m still a Cummins guy especially after our powerstrokes break constantly. We have a fleet of f550s and they always die, never from cp4. And if you need an engine they will let it sit on order for a year while they sell brand new ones on the lot all day long. It’s great

[@Jim_Lawrence]

@@williammorgan5987 I'm curious what is failing on the Fords? I personally have seen engine replacements because of incorrect diagnosis, but also warranted from catastrophic failures. I'd like to learn what you're seeing. And if you have an opinion on why, like idle time, conditions... What years? Any company is going to prioritize new sales over parts. They aren't going to stop production, and pay the line workers to sit around while they fulfill orders. Financial suicide if they did that. The transmission industry has been hoarding parts for their builds, and not selling parts that are hard to get also. That's my take anyways...

I don't know, maybe the new trucks are worse. But my 04 is 700 plus and my 05 is closer to 850 or so, and they are both reliable. I also don't beat the ever living shit out of my trucks, but I do let them breathe from time to time.

[@4wdiesels]

I love your podcast but this dude is a fearmonger. He talks about the block flexing and causing main cap fretting but fails to mention the factory block stiffener girdle. He lightly brushes on lifter failures but doesn't back it up with a failure rate. The software recall he mentions simply increased the idle time on a cold engine before the automatic warm up could begin. Pre recall, you could start a stone cold truck either remotely or regularly and it would immediately idle up and close the vgt to warm up the engine. That obviously isn't great for a cold engine so they changed the flash to allow the engine over a minute to idle below 800rpm to let oil pressure stabilize before the computer would elevate the idle and close the vgt to enable quicker warm up. Obviously raising the idle speed on a super cold winter day on a cold truck before oil pressure stabilizes could damage a rod bearing. This gentleman sounds like the kind of dude who would love to lighten my wallet chasing "cures in search of problems". When lifters fail, Wagler has a good solution so does Hamilton. Scissor gear isnt a known failure. Lifter failures are happening but by no means widespread. My experience? LAFD mechanic maintaining a HUGE fleet of pickups and chassis cabs, over 100 5th gens, plus my own '19 which is tuned. I'm running it hard and like anything, you have to be responsible because anything man makes, man can break! The problems we do have are mostly emissions equipment.

[@edwardman1742]

“Cures in search of problems”? This is exactly the opposite of the approach Cass takes. He has said on many occasions that he takes a “forensic“ approach to researching failures. I am no engineer, but if I was an engine builder like Cass, one unexplained failure is one too many. Your reputation is on the line with every engine that leaves the shipping dock.

When all you see are the failures how are you going to see the success? Mechanics see the failures of all different manufacturers and I'm guessing there's a huge percentage that are owner caused. There can be design or manufacturing errors of course, but that's less common than you might think.

Valve seats don't usually fall out because they are defective, the fall out because they are pushed well beyond their design limits. Medium duty trucks use the same engines as class 3 trucks, but are *DERATED* so they last longer. Squeezing more power out of a powerplant, shortens it's life. If you push it harder, it's lifespan is shorter. Facts.

[@stevenbean9706]

actually the hemi had recalls for vslve seats falling into the motors at random they didnt use the correct valve seats they used the most readily available for cheap prices

[@kirb743]

Most of this episode was talking about failures caused by bad tuners making it seem like it's a bad engine design. Great points to make about how "simple" mods can do serious damage. Truth is you can do whatever you want with what you own, but when you change what a team of engineers designed don't blame them. The Ram/Cummins flash came out around the same time the CP4 pumps started falling. Part of the flash was to prevent pump failure that would lead to injector failure with injectors slow/late closing which obviously changed the timing of injection leading to bearing stress. I work at a dealer and the only engine failures have been caused by the pump. Every time it's the same scenario, driving along no issues, starts loosing power and misfires then stalls out no start. New fuel system and now has massive rod knock. How vome he never mentioned the CP4, in every engine it would seem?

[@joewolfe642]

And the lifter issue your also selectively skipping over all the windows they left around the main saddle used to be the 68rfe was junk now the engine is junk and all they are now are trucks that are trying to self identify as fords

[@kirb743]

It wasn't selective, just no experience with lifter failure so can't comment on that. 68RFE have only seen OD spring cage break causing clutch drag which wears out the OD clutch pack. TCC wear but that's only after 250,000 miles. But if you get a bad tune, almost anything fails because it would seem like when they rewrite code for the engine it wrecks code for the trans. Even had had a truck once that never moved after a tune since it was 3 element binding. Most people think more power kills the trans.

[@joewolfe642]

@@kirb743 the 68rfe literally shift flares like crazy from the factory can't hold a gear when towing and going up a moderate grade - its literally junk - the stock tuning sucks ... crossleaks from the FACTORY with a fully 100% bone stone truck (tune and all). Many transmission builders and engineers would disagree with you. It has (much) smaller clutches, weak OD cage thinner input and output shafts than literally all of its competition transmissions. I am sorry your not going to tell me a 68RFE is as good of a transmission as a 6R140 or Allison 1000 (or even half as good). Nothing is perfect but to make a 68RFE bulletproof you literally have to replace every single part in that transmission.

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

hell no, CP4 are a design nightmare and fail prematurely in all vehicules, tuned or not. The engine damages found after can be separate cause but the pump is still a POS and always has been.

[@Jim_Lawrence]

@kirb743 My hot take on your thought process: 1. They don't issue TSBs on tuned trucks. This isn't isolated to tuning. The updated calibration most likely lowers cylinder pressure to limit block distortion and keep oil flowing to the rods. What's known as a band-aid, if it even works. 2. They went back to a CP3 for '21 MY. They are still having issues, so look past that. 3. On those CP4 failed engines, is it not possible/plausible that during failure timing/misfire/high cylinder pressure could occur and cause the block to flex as Cass states and take out the rod bearing? Failures don't generally happen without an outside factor of some sort. Did you inspect those failed engines for Fretting on the main caps? Whether caused during the CP4 failure or not, it may have pushed it over the edge. It really takes very little time to destroy bearings without oil.

[@JT-ko3rv]

Nobody needs the power these LIGHT DUTY engines are putting out STOCK, NOBODY. Its just a big swinging D...K contest. Its not 1980 anymore theirs very little if any room for error. Its a balance between weight, emissions, economy, and power. Thats a tight box everything is maxed out then you get idiots behind the wheel. You can make way more power reliably but its going to take a bigger heavier engine that dosen't meet the box they are put in. Every diesel engine on the road today is less reliable than ever because of weight reduction, increased efficiency (emissions), and specific power output.

[@dextermay4007]

If I may say the bigger tire situation confuses me when he says it's putting more force on the engine. First off these are very powerful engines they are designed to move 30k lbs total. How is it that bigger tires will put pressure on the engine to where things could break. Also regearing could help with the bigger tires from stock. I don't believe bigger tires have that much effect on harming the engine compared to pulling 30k up a steep grade. Now speaking about the drive train and bigger tires is a different story but regearing would fix that.

[@Arexodius]

One reason I can think of that Cummins might have gone so far to reduce weight on the 2019+ 6.7's is this: *Payload/towing ratings.* The weight of the engine itself has a big impact on payload ratings - and thereby towing ratings - because you can't go beyond what the frame can handle. And if you're at the limit of what the frame can handle, your only options to increase payload ratings are strengthening the frame - which affects the production line for a whole generation of trucks that use the same platform, i.e. chassis, i.e. frame - or reduce weight of the components that you put on the frame. RAM probably nagged Cummins to reduce the weight. Just compare the payload rating on the RAM 2500 Hemi vs Cummins. There's a big difference, and it lies in the weight of the engine. That's also the reason the 2500 Power Wagon is offered exclusively with the Hemi. It's much lighter than the Cummins, which affects off-road worthiness and that's everything for the Power Wagon. And because the suspension on the Power Wagon is built for off-roading it already has a limited payload rating so if you put a Cummins on there you probably couldn't even fill the cab with people. You need to step down to the 2500 Rebel - which is kind of a crossover between a regular 2500 and a Power Wagon - before RAM gives you the option of a Cummins. Maybe RAM decided they could compromise enough on the Rebel to allow for the heavier engine, or Cummins recently managed to reduce weight even further, or maybe it's both.

[@crazykkid2000]

So after watching this, the title is missing leading. I know some of the 2022 trucks and 2023 trucks have lifter issues from bad sourcing during covid but that's all I have heard bad about the new engines. Other than emissions. I just don't see people posting about failing 5th gen bottom end and blocks. I do see a lot of people running 700hp+ 5th gen trucks.

Inline diesel engines are great up to a point. You get better crank support. When the power levels get high enough every engine finds its limit. They are probably at a point where in order to compete with the V8s in output they need a bigger engine package. That won't fit the box they are put in of weight and physical size. It's litterally why V engines were designed in first place IMO. The Individual cylinder loads are going to be lower at the same power level and displacement the inline 6 has to work harder period. We are probably at that point with all the other constraints put on the manufacturers. Eg an old M11 cummins put out what the light duty guys are at reliably for 1 million plus miles. It's all about specific cylinder output and torque not HP. 800 lbsft is nuts from that small of an engine at such low rpm that's why engines fail.

I'm on my 5th 5.9 engine in a few years..from stock to built . None of them made it 80,000 miles . The slightest hiccup with a injector or to much fun time and they just pop . Pretty sensitive Engines in my opinion . All My 7.3 Powerstrokes have 550 hp plus with over 200,000 miles they are running strong ..I would be a pretty wealthy man if i would stop loving these trucks 💪 Diesel love is a tough road for me ❤️

[@CBU-j2v]

My 05 LLY ZF6 is at 463k miles on the factory installed head gaskets. Stop over fueling your engines!

[@fundamentallybroken4194]

All this talk about tuners who dont know what they are doing makes me happy I went with Banks Power.

[@brentmcmahon8188]

I never buy anything that’s a new design the whole truck a new motor or a cp4 I don’t want to be anybody’s test guy. I hauled cars and trucks for GM and I seen this when I hired on when I was 23 yrs old and Iam now 68 yrs old and new stuff back then are the same. Things just don change don’t buy anything that is supposed to be the new great thing.

[@ryurc3033]

Gotta be real, i dont think anyone sells something reliable. No matter the brand they are designed to fail . Its absolutely ridiculous that you cannot trust a brand new truck.

[@anthonysalloum3678]

What’s with Cummins having a history of bad engine blocks lol. block 53 with the 24v second gen trucks and the new trucks now

[@joshuaquilliam2887]

Well it's a completely new design, new block, new valve train, pistons, rods etc. Shit is bound to happen, just like the Duramax had it's issues between models, and I won't even talk about Ford's problems before the 6.7. They will sort it out no doubt, But it blows spending 110k on a truck just to be a test dummy. But that is the way of todays world.

[@dannysavagedraftguru]

@@joshuaquilliam2887rather buy a house for 110 then be a test dummy

[@440capnhook]

You keep making it cheaper and cheaper until you get bit. But it looks like the customers are gonna be the ones to get bit as it seems like a problem thats gonna show up out of warranty mostly.

[@paulpaulie]

That’s the info I’m looking for….all the “complex”/scientific explanations for the reasons shit breaks. I could’ve listened to him explain for hours.

[@stevenbean9706]

love my 1st gen 12v do not have any desire for a new truck they are plastic piles of debt

[@joewolfe642]

I had a '22 2500 (Cummins obviously) - had lifter tick from day 1 (was interimittent) then it kept getting worse - these engines are absolute junk as far as I am concerned - save yourself money (I lost $45k+ on that piece of s*** truck) - buy a Powerstroke or Duramax the Ram trucks are junk throuhg and through (68RFE is junk the new Cummins is Junk).

What oil were you running?

[@joewolfe642]

@@hamwallet7069 Amsoil Maxduty 10w30 . Its not an oil weight issue - they are flawed.

[@joshuaquilliam2887]

Cool I hope they keep building shit, just means my 3rd gens keep going up in value lmao.

[@hamwallet7069]

@@joewolfe642 false. I can call on 6 19-24 right now. 2 over 350k, 1 - almost 400k on cp4, 2 more 19HO Dually deleted on 150hpvtunes (mine 125k other 87k), and stock 24 that hauls heavy often.

[@JoeWolfe-bk5qm]

@@hamwallet7069 24's are barely even out yet - shit they haven't fully gotten rid of the new 22's they had on the lot. I am sure you got almost 400k miles on that CP4 truck... Bigfoot must have been driving it because i've never seen a CP4 truck last more than 200k miles without needing a complete fuel system.

[@carl2591]

Very interesting for sure, thanks.😊

[@wildmanofthewynooch7028]

All this from after market tuning and deleting them

[@justthink3375]

Sounds like they want a disposable truck so you have to buy new not older trucks

[@TheOutdoorDaileys]

Wow! What a great, informative episode! I'm going to have to listen/watch it a second time. I've learned a lot about weaknesses in different engines from Cass.

all of these trucks new are junk they are not the same companies they were about 20 years ago

[@cstgx]

Ford is good. Their 6.7 has been very reliable.

[@whatyoumakeofit6635]

Don't matter. Cummins will be gasoline only very soon. Which ultimately they will go out of business soon after.

[@MYLOVEISTHEBESTTOME]

@@cstgx what do you do for a living . Me I work on theses day in and day out Fir the last 33 years and I can tell your for sure there junk when it comes to to reliability And durability with built in failure point

[@cstgx]

@MYLOVEISTHEBESTTOME I work on equipment that runs critical infrastructure. Equipment that is built to the highest standard. It still fails. Everything electrical or mechanical will fail. Including all your old school things. They might be easier to troubleshoot and repair, but technology has made engines far more powerful today. The engines you are comparing these to don't make half the power and torque these make today. I see about the same failure rate in trucks as has always happened. But today's trucks are far more efficient, comfortable, safe, and versatile.

[@drkies]

Great content

[@CeL-w2p]

How about temp soaking the block with a torquer plate during the honing of the cylinders? Just asking, possible overreacting. Dam the EPA putting pressure on Diesel manufacturers to quiet their engines. The EPA must be where all Karen's work.😂😂😂 But, it's ok for the idiots to share their sound system bass with everyone.

[@wayneo7220]

Going short Cummins.

Blah blah every engine that comes out somebody says is junk yet all you see is cummins draggin trailers up and down the roads knowing half of them are under maintained.
