Ford 2011 F-350 rod bearing fix help!!

[Jay5.9L]

My friend was driving his 2011 F-350 with the 6.7 power stroke. It over heated and turned off. The dealer service just told him it was a rod bearing and will be around 15k to fix. Any advice I can give him would be great.

I have no advice, but....ooof.

How miles are on it?

100k miles. It’s lifted etc but I don’t think he has a tune or power mods.

I don't know what access to the crankshaft looks like with the engine still in the frame, but I know in order to do head gaskets on those trucks, the cab has to come off. I'm sure that's a big part of the costs, if that's required.

I would find a good, independent diesel repair shop to do the work rather than the dealership. It will probably be half the cost.

Yup that was my advice. He got not towed the the LHM ford in SLC. That was the first update. I believe they will give him a better estimate tomorrow.

I thought the 6.7 power stroke was fairly reliable. Am I wrong?

I don’t think any of them since the 7.3 have been reliable driving one with out a warranty is a gamble I’m not prepared to take.

I am sitting in my corner rocking myself. ‘It will be ok’. ‘I am ok’. And all the other things my therapists have taught me.

Book time to pull the cab is only like 5 hours, so That barely any part of that cost. I would be willing to bet they are selling him a whole ford crate motor. Also buy a cummins

Here is some flat rate times for you. Long block is 24 hours. Engine R&R is 19 hours. Just so he can know what he should be paying. He can also check car-part.com for a used motor.
