Looks like the same thing they had going on in there V10's. we had them at work and went through engins like crazy in the f550's we had. later we found out because they were never shut off and spent a good 15 hours a day idleing every day they wern't getting enough oil at idle and killing cams.

in the video he has a cube van which if it is a delivery truck will spend large amounts of time idleing ... who knows..

This whole thread is roflmao. It’s funny how when you use something outside of its intended use (like idling a vehicle for 50 hours a week or longer, or overloading the heIl out of a truck) shortens the useful lifespan of one or more components.

Although the number of failures is probably pretty low. Using the V10 Triton for example. I drove, or used or was around probably 100s of them when they were current and they ran hard, idled forever, hopefully got oil changed on time and don’t recall any top end issues.

But, but, what about "Ford owns work"?

Anyway, lets not throw the 7.3 on the iron pile yet. Don't forget all the years that the 6.2 made us happy! [emoticon]
