So I'm thinking of getting back into the diesel world and have found a 2011 F350 CCLB DRW build date 4/2011, 155k.

I've read everything I can about the issues on the 2011 trucks but just wanted some more input. I'd think if it were to have had the valve issues that'd have happened by now as well as any turbo problems. Is there anything else to be concerned with?

I've requested a Carfax/service records from the dealership. The price is about average for the truck in my area.

Valve issue may not show up for another 50k. Turbo may still be fine if it is stock or hasnt been tuned hot. Only other thing would be the transmission valve body. There was a tsb for it i believe.

Lowest mileage I’ve seen one have valve issues was 102,000, and the highest was 225,000.
As reasonably priced as heads, gaskets, and hardware is for these motors, and considering the fact that it’s reasonably easy to do them cab down, I’d see it a good idea to do it as “preventative maintenance” if some one couldn’t prove it has already been done.

The info the sales guy has given me is only ownership and that it had been in one accident with minor damage.

I'm seeing if he can tell me if it had/has a programmer on it and for some pics of the underside since the tailpipe looks to be changed it makes me curious and I'd like to see how the airbags are setup.

I'd ask for more under carriage pics. It doesn't look too swell under there.

I did ask for more but I'm not holding my breath on getting them. Being the truck was from Iowa then moved Nebraska 7 years ago rust isn't a surprise.

May just try to bite the bullet and drive the 3 hours weather permitting.

Looks like a replacement cooler hose for the EGR. Could have been tuned at one time. The manufacture date is outside the time line for bad valves just barely if I remember the TSB correct.

Egr is gone. No doubt that it’s tuned.
