Some Ford F-350 Super Duty owners report experiencing significant inconveniences due to engine failures, such as seized engines with rod failures, especially when replacement engines are on backorder for 3 to 4 months. These failures can stem from various causes, including lack of maintenance, overheating, oil issues, or manufacturing defects. The cost of replacing an engine can be substantial, with a new 6.7 PSD engine replacement potentially reaching around $26,000, and the labor for such replacements typically taking 8-9 hours for trucks like the F-350. Over a decade, owners may face approximately $15,685 in maintenance and repair costs, with a notable chance of requiring major repairs. To mitigate future engine issues, some owners emphasize the importance of regular maintenance, timely oil changes, and promptly addressing any warning signs.
