Along with a partner, I own a ten bay automotive repair shop. I have never owned one and I wouldn"t. When they run right, they are a great engine. When there are problems, they are just insanely expensive to repair. I don"t work on them myself, but I have a tech with many years of Ford dealership experience primarily with diesels, that works on them very reluctantly. The last one that we worked on was just a nightmare. It came in with a miss, we replaced one injector. It ran great, but we got it back with a miss two weeks later, with a miss. Two cylinders showed up with low contribution, so we replaced two more injectors. It came back again with the same issue, so we pulled all the injectors and sent them in and had them tested. This time, four bad injectors, including two that we had already replaced, with Ford remnans. We replaced the four bad injectors, along with the FICM. It now ran on all eight cylinders, but just didn"t feel right. My tech found that the injection pressure control valve had a little screen in it that had come apart, so we replaced it and now it has been on the road for two months now. Now, in defense of the engine, I deal with some school buses that have the same motor, and have absolutely no problems. Go figure!!!
