Navi/Ford collaboration. Stock 450SD 16,000LBS, 6 sets of head gaskets, then a new motor from Ford, 8000 mile past that warranty it dropped an Injector tip, holed a piston and left me on the side of the road in western Nebraska. New (Jasper)studded motor installed lasted 9500 miles before another head gasket. Repaired under warranty. Now have a 6.7 Ford in the same type truck with 150,000 miles...
"Many factors can contribute to a blown head gasket, but it all starts with the head bolts—the type and the lack of them. Torque-to-yield head bolts are nothing new in automotive engines, but once a TTY fastener stretches beyond its yield point, it becomes permanently elongated. This translates into a loss of clamping force. The 6.0L’s design employs just four TTY head bolts per cylinder (the 7.3L utilized six per cylinder). The head bolts might measure 14mm in diameter, but there simply aren’t enough of them to contend with the cylinder pressure being created beneath them."

Pretty sure the Toy hybrid problem is related to piss poor machining. Mitsubishi had a similar problem in the mid-90's; the 1st gen eclipse/talon had the infamous 4g63, but for some reason engineering decided to try and free up some rotational resistance to gain free HP. As a result, the crank bearing journals were machined a smidgen too loose, and "crank walk" became the end result. This is a well known catastrophe.
The new Yota, if im not mistaken, is slipping crank bearings and seizing engines.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. 3.5EB for the win.
Stop it. Start a Ford engine/Eco Cuck thread or you know who will bring the horror…. None of us want that like a land war in Asia.
No matter who makes it, a turbocharged gas engine will never outlive a naturally aspirated one that makes the same hp.How is it going for Toyota trying to copy Ford and run a twin turbo V6?
I drive a 2004 Tundra with the 4.7L V8, probably one of the best engines ever made for longevity. 225,000 miles so far. The frame is still good too.
I looked at a new truck and figured I never wanted a turbo V6 in any truck I own. Aside from all of the computer controls.
The old 6.ohno. I had 3 in my small fleet, the fact that anyone went beck to Ford diesels after that debacle blows my mind.
Especially since the 6.4 came next.
Oh man, I just had that inside feeling from hitting my thumb w a hammer
Yeah, I've the same problem. '05 Four Runner with 350,000 miles and very very few issues. How the hell am I going to replace that? New Four Runner just doesn't seem the same.
Just patiently waiting for this one to make its way thru the courts

I’ve got prolly 15 6.7 L power strokes in our fleet. Ranging from 2012 to 2023…. No major issues. The first 3 did have issues with a sensor in the exhaust that would leave your ass stranded, leaking radiators which ford was warranting way past the warranty period, and some issues with turbo hose fittings. Other than that…. No issues.
However due to the insanely high priced trucks… I started buying 7.3/6.8 gas motors…. Have 12 of those, 0 issues, hell I’ve got a 6.2 liter that rolled 400k last week, still going strong lol.

And they still won't be allowed at most ranges ... rightly so.
I will say I kinda miss me some Attachments
