Issues as miles get up there?

I'm looking into buying a 6.7 in the spring. What will be in my price range has anywhere from 150k miles to a touch over 200k. Most are 2011's but there may be a couple 12's.

Any issues with the first model year? Anything people are seeing go bad around 200k?

These things seem to be very reliable and have few issues. I was looking at studded 6.0's for awhile but you can have a fairly plain Crew cab 6.7 for not a ton more money.

I am kind of new to the diesel world but from what I see the 6.7 has been very reliable in comparison to some of the other more recent ones. The 11-12 has ceramic bearings in the turbo which has caused issues. Other than that I know some have said they had *** sensor problems but that's nothing
Major. I'm sure others will chime in that know far more than me. Good luck with your search!

I've had very good luck and pleased as punch with mine. Mine is an early 11 and has 240k. I've changed turbo, injection pump, added an airdog all in the hunt for ponies. Need to rebuild front end next, but that is normal for any truck.

Turbos had issues with bearings going bad. Cylinder Head Valves were made of soft material and sometimes had issues failing.

turbos, valves, transmission valve body

Thanks everyone.

I was skeptical of one with a touch over 200k but whats the difference between 180 and 205? Not a whole lot.

11-14 turbos are the same

150k+ wouldn't scare me a bit if the price is right

Thats where i get stuck. Seen some real pieces of crap for over 40 grand still.

You should be in the 50-75k mile range on a lariat/kr for $40k or just over IMO

I bought my 2011 with 170k on it a year ago. It now has 203k and runs and looks like it has 100k. Well I did upgrade the turbo but that was a performance upgrade , stock turbo didn't give me trouble

I've been looking at basically work truck packages in CCSB or CCLB. and they are from 20k to 27k. Some guys seem to think studded and ******d 6.0's are still worth 20+.

an XL with 150-200k miles is a $15-20k truck IMO

Agreed. There's a dealer in IL that buys and sells high mileage trucks. I've seen 6.7 Lariats with 190-200k go for $20-25k

Where do you find such a truck. I've searched across the country on CL and haven't found any that cheap.

This is the dealer I was referring to:

http://www.midwestdieseltrucks.com/

There's a 2011 CCLB with 150k on it for $24k, and another 2011 ECLB with 239k on it for $18k

i will have an ingot silver 2012 F350 XLT eclb 4x4 diesel for sale in the next six months. It will have less than 100k miles on it. has upfitters and trailer brake controller. box is showing sign of wear and tear. built in gooseneck hitch and spray in liner. 27,500.00

To bad it's not a crew cab! After owning mine I couldn't go back down in size.

TX/OK

I would stay away from the 2011, just for the fact there is the odd chance a valve may go south. Also the early models had cases where the glow plugs would break off and nfg an engine.

I got my 2011 XLT with 151k for $27k. Within 2 weeks of having the truck the EGR started leaking. After ******** I had the boot blow off due to excess oil. Nothing other that.
