What are Ford 3.0 diesel problems?

I’m thinking about getting a Ford F150 with a 3.0 V6 Power Stroke diesel engine but since it’s a newer engine, I’m worried long-term about reliability. What are the most common issues with Ford 3.0 diesel?

  • Loose screws in the EGR by-pass valve flap
  • Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) clogging and/or overheating
  • Diesel particular filters (DPF) clogging
  • Exhaust gas temperature {EGT) sensor failure
