why would ford use pistons that crack, when hot, on their trucks, like a 6.4 diesel f250.
did they not think that these trucks would be used and abused?
also, does anyone make drop in replacement pistons out of steel for a 2008 f250 xlt 4wd 6.4 turbo diesel?
Just go to FTE
>why?
Ford
what's that?
I believe the 1999 powerstroke had forged internals.

oh
It's the Ford truck enthusiasts forum
Because the DPF and the way it goes through a regen. It dumps fuel in the #7 cylinder to raise the EGTs hot enough to burn out the DPF. Get rid of that piece of shit and you won't have any problems.
He's talking about brakes
thanks
this is true but i was saying this
They are a spare parts company, sell shit cheap make a profit on fixing it and replacement parts.
Ford a shit anyway. The father of my gf has a painting & carpentry company with multiple Ford Transits. Over the last 12 years he had 4 of them with a failed valve spring which caused the piston to slam into the valve and demolish the engine. His mechanic also said they see that more often with Transits
It's an I know more than the mechanical engineers at ford episode
7.3 powerstroke has perfectly fine pistons.
Should buy old Volvos, non-interference valves yo
Chrysler does the same shit.

At least the replacement caliper had an aluminum piston
As are Suzukis and Toyota FE engines.
Yea but Volvos don't rust out in a decade
