The never ending battle..
2017 F250 Superduty

I've heard anywhere from 45min with a team of two guys that know what they are doing to 2-3hrs for a single guy to pull a Ford cab. Hoists involved of course.
Does the truck get a lot of idling hours? Might be a reason they were told to change it often.
Cavitation erosion, or was the antifreeze never changed and electrolysis got it?
Took my guys 4 hrs, one had experience doing it before, one didn't. We own the well sevice rig so pulling it off the chassis was pretty easy. And they had the service manual with the instructions. 15 pages for cab removal.
Heard a few theroys about the erosion,
1- running non Ford GOLD coolant, regular coolant has higher amounts of silica and is more abrasive than the Ford gold.
2- air getting into system causing cavitation
3- we don't know why it does it, weve seen this alot and were not sure why (local Ford dealer).
I know on older Ford diesels (I say Ford, because that's what I read about, applies to any diesel engines), that's one thing to watch for if buying used. Ask the owner about SCA's, if they've never heard of it, the old motors would have cavitation in many cases. Post #3 here: http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1046900-scas-again.html is very informative. It sounds like modern, long life coolants don't require SCA's, but if using non long life, SCA's are needed. Test coolant, test often. This is pretty long, but explains what's happening with cavitation: http://www.oilburners.net/articles/cavitationartic.html

Stepping up to the King Ranch, priced from $55,455, including destination charge (an increase of $1,870 over the 2016 model) gains buyers features like LED box lighting and side mirror lights, a power remote tailgate release, passive entry with push-button start and voice-activated navigation, as well as illuminated running boards, unique leather bucket seats and power-adjustable pedals and steering wheel.

2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty Sees Price Increases of $150 to $5070
<small class="post-credits"></small>
The all-new Ford F-250 Super Duty‘s body may be made of lightweight aluminum, but its trim and option packages are as heavy as ever. Consumers can choose among five trim levels—XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum—as well as regular, SuperCab, and Crew Cab body styles, gasoline or turbo-diesel V-8 engines, and 6.75- or 8.0-foot bed lengths, as well as rear- or four-wheel drive.
Prices for the truck are up across the board, with the least expensive F-250 receiving a modest $150 bump in price. Don’t assume that holds true for all versions, though, as the top-of-the-line F-250 Super Duty Platinum sees its base price increase by a whopping $5070. All F-250s come standard with an SOHC 6.2-liter V-8 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission; Ford offers its 6.7-liter turbo-diesel V-8 for $8595 on all models.
Ford F-250 Super Duty XL Regular Cab, $33,730:
Bottom-rung F-250s come standard with a single cab and an 8.0-foot bed. Options on this truck are many, with four-wheel drive running a cool $2795. Basic power necessities such as power windows and locks and remote keyless entry, among other things, are bundled in the Power Equipment group for $915. You can get Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system with navigation and an 8.0-inch touchscreen, but you’ll have to choose more than $2000 in option packages to do so. Buyers looking for advanced safety options will want to check the boxes for a rearview camera ($370) and a blind-spot warning system ($540). The Ultimate Trailer Tow package ($710) lives up to its name and comes with a 360-degree camera system with trailer reverse guidance, a rear camera in the center high-mounted stop light (CHMSL) to give a clear view of the bed, an LED CHMSL, and a rearview camera. The XL Value package ($720) includes chrome front and rear bumpers, a 4.2-inch screen in the truck’s center stack, an upgraded stereo, chrome wheel hub covers, and cruise control. Spending $1180 nets consumers the XL-exclusive STX Appearance package, which includes STX fender vent badging, unique 18-inch wheels and tires, chrome bumpers and wheel hub covers, and a chrome grille. Four-wheel-drive shoppers can also spend $295 on the FX4 Off-Road package, which adds special decals to the truck’s box, Rancho shocks front and rear, hill descent control, a transfer case, and skid plates to protect the fuel tank.
Ford F-250 Super Duty XL SuperCab, $36,065:
Opting for the SuperCab requires ditching the Regular Cab’s 8.0-foot bed and settling for the smaller 6.75-foot bed. Buyers looking for the extra space of the SuperCab with the cargo-hauling ability of the 8.0-foot bed can drop $200 on two-wheel-drive trucks and $205 on four-wheel-drive trucks to have their cake and eat it, too. Four-wheel drive will set you back $2800 and $2805, respectively, depending on whether you’re opting for the system on a short- or long-bed truck.
Ford F-250 Super Duty XL Crew Cab, $37,325:
As with the SuperCab, the four-door Crew Cab gets a standard 6.75-foot bed, although the 8.0-foot bed can be had at $200 for the rear-wheel-drive XL Crew Cab or $205 for the four-wheel-drive model. Choosing four-wheel drive costs the same $2800–$2805 for Crew Cab as for SuperCab models. Basic power necessities like power windows, power locks including a tailgate lock, and remote keyless entry are bundled in the Power Equipment group, which sets consumers back $1125.
Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT Regular Cab, $37,935:
Like the F-250 XL, the XLT comes standard with an 8.0-foot bed. Additional standard features on the F-250 XLT include chrome front and rear bumpers, a chrome grille, 18-inch alloy wheels, power mirrors, power door locks (including a tailgate lock), cruise control, remote keyless entry, a 40/20/40-split bench seat, vanity mirrors in the sun visors, a rearview camera, and a 4.2-inch screen in the center console with Sync connectivity. Four-wheel drive is a $2800 option, and a $1460 XLT Value package includes a reverse sensing audible alert, Ford’s keyless entry keypad, fog lamps, automatic locking/unlocking doors, and power-adjustable pedals.
Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT SuperCab, $40,595:
As in its XL equivalent, the F-250 Super Duty XLT SuperCab comes standard with a 6.75-foot bed and rear-wheel drive. Adding the bigger box is a $200 option on both rear- and four-wheel drive XLT SuperCabs, while opting for four-wheel drive is a $2805 option for both bed lengths. An XLT Premium package is available for $3025 and includes Ford’s Sync 3 system with 8.0-inch touchscreen, reverse sensing audible alert, 18-inch chrome wheels, keyless entry, fog lamps, chrome mirror caps, chrome step bars, body-color door handles with chrome inserts, a chrome tailgate handle and exhaust tip, power-adjustable pedals, an eight-way power driver’s seat, automatic locking/unlocking doors, heated front seats, and chrome tie-downs in the bed, as well as chrome tow hooks, among other things. An XLT Driver Assistance package costs $1080 and brings automatic high-beam headlights, rain-sensing wipers, adaptive steering, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and lane-departure warning. Choosing either the XLT Premium package or the XLT Driver Assistance package requires that buyers also purchase a defroster for the truck’s rear window for $60 or a power sliding rear window, which includes a defroster, for $405.
Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT Crew Cab, $42,430:
Equipped with four full-size doors to access the cab, the F-250 Super Duty XLT Crew Cab comes standard with a 6.75-foot bed and rear-wheel drive. Adding the longer 8.0-foot bed is a $195 option on rear-wheel-drive models or $200 for the four-wheel-drive model; adding four-wheel drive is a $2795 option on short-bed trucks and a $2800 option on long-bed F-250 Super Duty XLT Crew Cabs.
Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat SuperCab, $46,300:
The Lariat trim starts at the SuperCab level and comes standard with features including running boards, fog lamps, a premium Sony audio system, an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Sync 3 and navigation, two LCD monitors in the gauge cluster, eight-way power seats, leather interior trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and Ford’s reverse sensing audible alert, among other things. As with the XL and XLT SuperCabs, Ford’s 6.75-foot bed and rear-wheel drive are standard. The longer 8.0-foot bed is a $200 ticket on rear-wheel-drive models and a $205 option on four-wheel-drive trucks.
Four-wheel drive runs $3185 and $3190, respectively, on short- and long-bed Lariat SuperCabs. An $1125 Chrome package adds 18-inch chrome wheels, mirror caps, and step bars; body-color door handles with chrome inserts; a chrome exhaust tip; and chrome tie-down hooks in the bed as well as chrome tow hooks. Choosing the $1735 Tow Technology Bundle brings automatic high-beam headlights, rain-sensing wipers, adaptive steering, 360-degree camera and trailer reverse guidance, a camera in the CHMSL, lane-departure warning, and more. Meanwhile, the $710 Lariat Value package includes an easy entry/exit memory driver’s seat, big trailer-tow mirrors with memory, remote start, heated and cooled seats, LED lighting in the box, an LED CHMSL, and power-adjustable pedals. Consumers looking to get some wind in their hair can select a power sunroof for $545.
Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat Crew Cab, $48,630:
Crew Cabs can be optioned with a Lariat Ultimate package ($3740). It includes voice-activated navigation plus automatic high-beam headlights, rain-sensing wipers, a proximity key with push-button start, easy entry/exit memory driver’s seat, remote start, a remote tailgate release, power-adjustable pedals with memory, a massive twin-panel sunroof, big trailer-tow mirrors with memory, heated and cooled front seats, a tailgate step and handle, LED lighting in the bed, a power tilting and telescoping steering wheel with heat, and more. The twin-panel sunroof can be had on its own for $1025. An LED lighting package ($1080) includes headlights, taillights, fog lamps, and an LED CHMSL.
Ford F-250 Super Duty King Ranch Crew Cab, $55,455:
One does not become the King without possessing a number of riches, and the F-250 Super Duty King Ranch Crew Cab doesn’t disappoint. Only available in Crew Cab form, the truck wears contrast-color lower trim and bumpers. Other features include rain-sensing wipers, illuminated running boards, LED brake lights, bucket seats wrapped in King Ranch–specific leather, a power tilting and telescoping steering wheel with heat, a proximity key and push-button start, and power-adjustable pedals, among other things.
Choosing the larger bed will set buyers back $200 no matter the drive system, and four-wheel drive adds $3195 to the cost no matter the bed length. Add $2960 for the King Ranch Ultimate package, which includes a twin-panel sunroof, multi-contour seats, power-deployable running boards, a tailgate step and handle, LED headlights and taillights, LED fog lamps, and an LED CHMSL, among other things.
