This was a common issue for some 11-12 and could happen right up to 14. The 15 newer got coated bearings and haven't seen one with an issue yet. It's not from the cold start but from being reved to much when cold. my personal truck gets started at -40 not plugged in all the time and never have an issue. I always look at the data when any of these come andseemlike the trend is rive hard before warm. Its possible to happen on start up but we have customers com in ad tell us that but the freeze frame doesn't lie and most change the story after we ho up to t

used to see fellers out in there diesels in the am at different camps, running there diesels, at -35 or better.
diesels are cold blooded beasts, take forever to warm up, so the fellers would have there foot on the go pedal, just to speed the process up.
would see the occasional one going out on a flat bed a bit latter.

That's why I always check with IDS to confirm the story. So far ive seen no 6.7 set codes and freeze frame when it spins a bearing a 0% throttle al have been closer to 100% and cold. most just after start up ****ing retards

When it's -24 Celsius at my house and I start my truck it instantly automatically revs to 1200rpm - in my opinion that is a terrible automatic feature - from the factory they should come with a heated oil pan something like the heated grips on my sled cuz even 0/40 rotella is pretty thick at that temp
It's surprising to see that ford would do this for a mass produced engine. Not having locking tabs on shell bearings is beyond me. The only thing that is holding the bearing in place is the bearing crush. If the line bore dia or bearing thickness isn't perfect and add thermo growth expansion/ contraction over a life time some bearings will spin giving the right conditions. Ford is leaving themselves open for issues. It's still a dumb design. It's only advantange is a cost cutting measure in the machining process. Typical ford. It will be a time bomb for some owners.

I have to agree. My boss has a 2015 F350 platinium. Its a fantastic truck and I prefer it over my 2012 Ram Cummins but the whole instant idle up deal is terrible. At least with mine if its cold out, it'll idle for 30secs to 1 min before ramping up on the RPMs.

As soon as it get and maintains oil pressure yes it does idle up. That's actually normal and not going to harm anything. What does the damage is starting at -25 and going places. As soon as torque is applied to the cold parts things break. I do the same in the logging trucks.
When my LML goes into warm up mode on a cold start it does something with the trans and possibly exhaust brake that really loads the motor. Both the engine and trans warm up faster than if I was parked right beside the highway and went right to 100km/hr (which I have no problem doing). It only waits about 10 seconds of idling before going into this warm up mode.
I hope the 17 Ford I just got has the same feature.

LOL! I don't mean any hurt feelings. Ya, I'm a GM guy.... for my own reasons. I do own a F-550 with the 6.4 as a work truck. I have to look after THAT engine like the space shuttle was at pre launch. All I'm saying from a design standpoint, no other engine will spin a bearing that has locking tabs. Ford 6.0L 6.4L 7.3L, every year of duramax and the cummins 5.9/6.7s As for your friend's 2016 Duramax...must be a real problem truck, prob a poor design in cold weather starting...Eh?

they go into high idle when th oil is cold. ford has done this since 2003 or earlier. They an usaVGT turbo to help this. I doesn't heat e trans up much faster at al maybe slightly from th trans cooler

My buddies does that too, chokes the guide vanes back. Sounds like a 747 warming up. Awesome.

They don’t have locking tabs on the bearings? I thought that was just a think on every bearing made?
My neighbour has a buddy that works at ford here in Leduc, he said there should be a recall on the 17 and up crank bearings. He said they have lots of issues with them. I know of one guy that has a 14 6.7 and drives the sh!t out of it, has over 400000km on it and has no real issues. The only issue he had was intake gasket or something like that.

Early builds like 11 and 12 have non lock tabs that has since been changed. they have updated that a long time ago. The 15 and newer have IROX polymer coating and I have yet to see any fail. The 17’s and newer aren’t having issues your neighbor got it all backwards

Any body else having rad issues on 6.7 motor ? 127,000 kms going on my 3rd rad ��. Of coarse just out of warranty AGAIN when it went. Any better solutions then the ford garbage or Chinese built aftermarket...tried both those.
