What happens here

The discussion shifts to common issues with the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engine, specifically the CP4 pump failing and potentially destroying the entire fuel system, including the injectors. They express concern that this issue hasn't been addressed in newer models. They also mention problems with the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) system, where the truck needs to undergo frequent 'regeneration' cycles to burn off soot, which can be inconvenient and, if not completed, can lead to costly manual regeneration by a mechanic. They suggest that these issues contribute to the engine being considered 'good' but 'not great' by some technicians.

Goal: Inform viewers about known reliability and maintenance issues with the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engine.

off of that white my old truck and it was just built up with carbon in there like the intake used to be this big now it's that big because there was so much carbon in there because the EGR is just recirculating everything back into there which you got soot in your exhaust and it's going right back into your intake and it all builds up once you get rid of all that crap your your truck can breathe better it gets rid of all that stupid getting rid of that back pressure you mean yeah yeah and it and it totally the truck and and I had problems with that truck not a problem I just didn't like it it downshifted or upshifted into fifth and sixth gear going 30 40 mph was that a 10p speed too that's a sixspeed so that is a sixspeed it's a sixspeed diesel right yep yep that one is is it got a 6.7 yep same same engine I don't think they changed anything what year was is that truck a 16 2016 okay 2016 but now we haven't had the best of luck with that truck as in didn't we have some starting problems with it it still has the starting problems but I have no idea what that is I mean sometimes it will start for 3 months but what we did have problems with was it wouldn't go into regen and we had to kept going down to the mechanic to have them plug into the computer manually regen it m and I mean the I don't know how many RPMs it was sitting at for 45 minutes I'm like is that good for the truck he's like n you know what you got to do to burn it out though and really I wouldn't say that was a problem because you're the DPF filter is supposed to get dirty at some point they're supposed to be taken out they're supposed to be clean that's a that's a process of it so it was getting dirtier it was getting clogged and it was getting to the point where we had to clean it but we just kept manually regening it so now there's a lot of guys online saying that these
