Why I don't trust Ford After 19 years & 15 new Trucks. Gas VS Diesel Reliability & performance

What happens here

The presenter shares his personal ranking of Ford diesel engines. His all-time favorite is the 7.3-liter diesel. He states that the 6.0-liter diesel has been a 'train wreck' in his experience and advises caution for potential buyers. He notes that the 6.4-liter diesel (the 6.0's 'big brother') has been 'fairly problem-free' aside from the annoying 'regen mode' issue, delivering ample power.

Goal: Provide specific recommendations and warnings regarding different Ford diesel engine types.
