Where is everyone #5

I have a 2014 with the 6.2. it's been totally trouble free with 32k on it

Don't Tow anything but with the Plow, Spreader and Salt (appox 2500lbs) I get 6ish during a Plowing Op and 12mpg around Town and 16 on Highways

 

Any of you who run APUs have any issues at altitude?

Sure it's the air/fuel mixture but it always runs rough when I'm in Denver. Didn't think ThermoKing would have these kind of issues but...

 

1st things 1st.... our buddy hadn't had nothing to eat sooo.....

 

I know a Chilis when I see one!

 

It's a known problem.... There's some threads on it on this forum.

 

I was looking hard at a 2016 F350 with a 6.2. It was loaded and had the 8' bed, 4WD. The only reason I didn't pull the trigger on it is because there is nothing wrong with mine and it's paid for, and it was in Williston, ND. If it had been around here I might not have been able to pass up the temptation.

From what I've read the 6.2 is pretty dependable. A lot of folks say you can't go wrong with the 6.2 or the 6.0, just depends on what manufacturer you prefer. I'm not loyal to anybody, just whoever has the right price in what I'm looking for at the time. I've only had one problem with mine since I've had it, Cam position sensor. It had 148,000 miles on it and was a year old when I bought it.

I talked to the guy that had it before me and he used it to haul light towers to oil rig sites here in Ok, Tx, and Ks. The only problem he had with it was the transmission, it went out at 130,000 miles and GM put a brand new one in it for him. He just traded it in because of the miles and had ordered another one just like it.

I'd say go for it @Oxbow , get a F350 gasser. You can get on some of those Ford forums and see what they've got to say about that motor too, might help you out a little.

 

Thanks Bear!

 

Funny you say that because they were......right up to the point that the EPA told all of them not to produce another engine until it was settled, which of course would've taken years. So they all agreed to unreal fines based on units sold, Cummins and DDEC coughed up the most cash. This also set in motion the acceleration of emission compliance. I was working for a Cummins distributor when the Consent Decree came to pass and things have never been the same since. But don't kid yourself, I believe all of the North American diesel engine manufacturers had blood on their hands to some extent.

 

Good deal. I got her going but it always happens at altitude. Don't want another frozen night in Laramie if they send me westbound.

 

There's my boy. A couple of yall have met him, he looks content sittin in a beer joint full of people being calm and good lmao
