Let us know the difference you feel between 6.4 & the 6.7:humm:

Love the height going from my 2WD on 18" to the 4WD FX4 on 20"s. Still not used to how quiet it is. doesn't sound like a diesel. itll take some time to get used to the loss of power, my 6.4 was fully deleted, AFE intake, Sinisted pipes and tuned. gunna let the warentee run out b4 i start upgrading

That's what I said about my 6.4:humm: but by 62,000 miles my EGR was clogged & I just did the deletes:rocking:

Congrats!!

thanks. yeah with it at 26,000 for now ill let ir ride a while b4 i decide I've heard about a few issues with the 2011 model year trucks wanna be sure every things good b4 i chance losing the warrantee.

Good move no more 100,000 mile rocker arms for you!:tu:

Watch out for your turbo, their ceramic ball bearings seem to turn to dust at 100k ish

Yeah that issue seems to be hit of miss from what I’ve here from other 2011 owners several have well over 100,000 and no issues some have had issues at on 60,000 guess it’s all up to luck. For now I’m just going to ride it hard and see what happens while it’s under warrantee. When I get closer to end of warrantee or myself voiding it with deletes I’m going to look into replacing the turbo preemptively. I am really leaning towards the sequential turbo set up. That is if I can ever make peace with the price tag lol

Ceramic ball bearings.....where is this stuff made up from??

I don't know about the ceramic part only have heard about the possible turbo issue to my knowledge there's no ceramic ball bearings

interesting read. Deff learned some thing new. I've only worked with/on or rebuilt Journal turbos never had a chance to pull apart a ball bearing one.

Last I knew Honeywell doesn't make turbos for Ford. So considering that how can ceramic ball bearings in stock turbos enter into a Ford conversation? OP asked about known issues....not swapping turbos.

Totally inaccurate as to the issues.

from what I see Garette which is a division of Honeywell does supply the turbo for the 1st gen 6.7
see info here:
VNT DualBoost Turbochargers | Light Vehicle Diesel Engines | Our Technologies | Honeywell Turbo Technologies

It's not the bearings causing the issues it's the compressor wheels.

I was wrong about the turbo manufacturing done by Garrett.

I miss my 6.4, my 6.7 isn't as fast, but I'll try to change that:w2:

its deff a heck of a truck lacks some of the pick up of the 6.4 compund turbos but its smooth and reliable as can be. Actually after about 4 months riding the 2011 i had the opertunity to purchase a "left over" 2015 for about $40 more a month payment. drove in for an oil filter drove out in a 2015 Fx4 F-250 lariat 2 miles on the odomoter. Just today hit 18,000 already have my exhaust, (flo pro 4" downpipe back duals) just waiting to save up $$$$ for the tuner.
