lmorris Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 They have made a few changes. New air box and filter, new EGR valve, redesigned CAC tubes, redesigned fuel routing at the secondary filter, no more crankcase ventilation sensor. Eliminated the bypass hose from when they eliminated the EGR cooler from the secondary cooling system. Charge air cooler remains the same. I am sure there is more, these are the few I was able to see during the PDI, by another tech. Was hoping I would get the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad_Kelsoe Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Go to the WSM and look at the Primary Fuel Filter replacement procedure. That looks fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Go to the WSM and look at the Primary Fuel Filter replacement procedure. That looks fun. Doesn't look too bad. Not sure as to why the return line needs to be disconnected, but I am sure I won't be doing it. Also noticed the low pressure pump is now in the tank. On a side note: While going through the WSM I have noticed a lot of changes. The DEF tank is completely new for one thing. The crankcase oil separator is new. The procedure for disconnecting it from the intake is messed. If you go to Lower Intake manifold removal it tells you that if you disconnect the tube from the intake you have to replace the entire separator.

Keith Browning Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Looks like they moved some things around on the right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced fuel system on a 16 f550 this week and the wsm says same about crank vent hose. I was able to disconnect it and reuse without ruining it.

lmorris Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Did you guys get one in? Yes, Took a bit to get used to the look of the F150 cab on there, but overall a very nice truck.

DieselD Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I was under the hood of one of the prototype ones a few months ago. Happy to see a better air filter design this go around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Mutter Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 That lower fuel filter sure looks funny and that def tank looks like there is an access port for service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Have a 2017 F250 in my bay for a PDI. Got to crawl around and put my hands on it. Not bad. The price sucks, but not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The guy who buys most of our wholesaled used cars got a black lariat with a 6.7 last week. He doesn't like it so far. Said the truck feels a lot bigger on the road than his 16 and doesn't feel like it has as much power. We got one gasser in but I haven't looked at it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mutter Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Just did a pdi on a 2017 f-550, they now have plastic fuel tanks for the chassis cabs. edit: just saw Keith's post on this topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I know this was mentioned already, but have you guys seen the primary fuel filter? It's completely different and the FP is now inside the tank. Can anyone verify the body is aluminum? I didn't have a magnet with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Yes Bruce, the 2017 6.7L trucks use an in-tank fuel delivery module (pump) and a tank mounted 10 micron filter/water separator. And if you didn't see the post, the aft-axle fuel tanks are now plastic from the factory. The body is indeed aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselD Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 We just had two 2017 F550 6.7 delivered. Several small differences but did not look at the pump setup close enough, going to check it out now and see if they are the same as the pickups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
