6.4 liter Ford Diesel?

[40Arpent]

I will not even trust the 6.7 until they have been on the road a few years.

I am now a guinea pig....traded my '08 F250 for a new '12 on Friday. Fingers crossed that I don't have the same problems I did with the 6.4L.

i don't think that's possible.

congrats on the new truck though!

If I was in the same financial position I used to be I would do the same thing. Congrats.

I have a friend that has one and so far he loves it. I would guess he is around the 20k mark now and no hiccups.

We have three 6.0s left that we need to unload on someone. Lucky we have a few 7.3s left to carry on until next year.

Yup, I only have exhaust problems a couple times a day that throws codes which then prevent regen of the DPF system, which i have to clear with a code reader i have to keep in the truck then drive until it decides to regen which is usually between 10 and 30 miles. The Duramax is awesome.

the ford 6.7 smokes the duraslack for power and fuel economy. hell my other is an 2012 gas burner for with a 6.0 and it will leave the duraslacks pulling hills loaded used it today pulling about 10,000 pounds of ceder wood and still got 11.5 mpg. i wouldn't buy anything from government motors but thats just me.

Intent was to get opinions on the actual engines...not the politics behind their maker. I merely asked about the 6.4 because I didn't know if it was as big a p.o.s. as the 6.0 it replaced.

Bigger.

 

[Texan2]

bigger.

lmao.

I know a couple of guys that have had multiple engines replaced. Ford hooked me up with a great warranty but i'd much rather have a great engine.

I thought the 6.0 was the bad one.
Take it for what you will, wikipedia... Ford Power Stroke engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They are good motors you ccan do a lot to them and they still keep up

 

[orbitup]

I know it's a little of topic but I was shocked. This morning I sold (wholesale auction) an 06 F250 XLT, V10, 5 spd, with only 40k. It went for diesel money. Wholesale BB is $12750, I sold it for $17100! BB for the 6.0 is $17450.

For now, I'll stay with my 2003 F250 7.3 diesel.

Maybe you got lucky with it. You couldn't give me another one.

yep my cummins 5.9 sure does run good without a bolt turned glad I got it.

I own a 6.0 and work on the 6.4l also here at work. I have had the cab off my 6.0 twice because I just keep blowing head gaskets because of my heavy foot and insane tunes I put on it. 6.0 isnt bad as long as you delete or upgrade the egr cooler and oil cooler. I would also recommend studding the heads on the 6.0l. once you do that and keep the tune mild and your foot out of it that engine is great. The 6.0 has the best transmission behind it, but a duramax or dodge with an allison and you will be doing trans work. I will keep my 6.0 with the better interior and features and keep my foot out of the pedal after I put my heads back on this round. This past month we replaced 3 6.4l engines at 15000$ per rebuilt engine, that's without labor. 7.3 is definitely the way to go but you lose out on the newer features in the trucks.

Didn't you have a thread on here about your truck breaking down?

Just saying............

The 5.9 is a good engine.

I'd buy a 7.3 with 300k miles on it before I would buy a 6.4 with 100 miles on it. When they go down, there is nothing cheap about fixing one.

I have a 7.3 with 210k on it, and I'd rather keep it than get a nearly new 6.4.
