2011 Job1 Issues

mrplowjr_Ez_v · May 5, 2012

Hi all, Just a few questions on a 2011 I'm looking at.

I'm looking at a 9/24/10 build 6.7 truck. Its an ECLB Lariat in Tux Black 2-tone. Loaded to the tits. The dealer has what I would consider a pretty good price on it.
Heres the original sticker They are asking a bit under 38,500

What kinds of issues were common on the early 2011 models? I've heard turbos and valves but with 22k miles I've got a lot of warranty left.

Are the replacement turbos any better? What should I look out for?

WHY NOT · May 6, 2012

I have never heard any type of valve problem on these trucks. I don't think there are any job 1 specific problems with these trucks. Some people have had there turbo go out though, but it really doesn't sound like a HUGE issue to me, I am not worried about mine at all

The 'valves' issue was on the C&C trucks.

Plenty of other problems though. Turbos, Trannies, HPFP, radiators,...

lol too late bought it. It has been to the shop 2 times, once for a nox sensor once for a DEF sensor. Two things I will not have to worry about next week.

Wasn't the one I was originally looking at, this one is a march-'10 build with 50k on it... its an f-350 spec'd out basically the same without the chrome package.

I guess I'll get a running list here for anyone interested downt he road.

Radiators (Early Job1 2011 trucks may exhibit leaky radiators)

Knock on wood I have a job 1 and haven't had any mechanical issues

Looks like I'll be going in for a radiator next week.

My HPFP went out on mine in the worst time as well and its a job1 got it in 2010.

TXGLASSMAN · Oct 4, 2012

what is it that is making the radiator fail? Are they cracking like the 6.4s?

I've seen two 6.7 radiators. One had a cracked end cap and the other was leaking around where the end cap is crimped on.

Mine cracked last year on the side I think is where it was at.

Big Angry Hillbilly · Oct 7, 2012

Seen valves with the heads gone on cab and chassis and pickup models.

On our f550 they already warned us

My dads radiator went at 60,000kms and the engine just went at 100,000kms due to faulty bearings in the bottom end

maybe the first failure contributed to the second?

I've been reading about the trans problems both the 11's and 12's are having...sure makes me reconsider moving up.

What kind of trans problems.... just need to know cause im about to buy one but not to late to back out.

CWAY6.7 · Oct 10, 2012

Transmission issues? Thats def. a first..... Probably tuned trucks more than likely having the issues....Those new torqshifts are the last thing I thought would have a problem

Mine is a 2012 and only issue Ive had so far is a check engine light come on at 7500 miles but its mass air flow sensor related. Took to Ford and they blamed it on the AFE drop in filter I installed and made me take my stock filter back up there....Then the stupid light came back on...and its still on until I can find time to take it all the way to the dealer I bought it from so its fixed actually by someone who gives a damn
