RE: 6.4 powerstroke ?
I had the 6.4 and at 25,000 miles I would have told you it was the best truck ever. At 33,000 milles I traded it in on a Chevy 2500HD 6.0 because twice the Ford spent a week in the shop.
Can't afford the down time. Mileage wasn't all that great and the twin turbo etc. was starting to scare me since I already had the cab off once for 2 oil leaks and lost a week while Ford found me an ERG, seems they are hard to find due to frequent failures.
Really tho this isn't a Ford rant, all the diesels with the DPF seem to have problems. Frankly the technology needs time to mature. I was sorry to see it go, but the Chevy 6.0 gets the same mileage ( honestly, the difference is about 1mpg at best ) The design is tried and true and the power is amazing.
I think I'm done with the diesel fever, lol.
