I cannot speak for anyone's experiences but my own. My dad had an 09 6.4 and the truck was an absolute hammer. He sold it around 175-180k in miles. CCLB truck standard work done at 130xxxish miles. It ran so strong and not a single time let us down. This truck was our road trip bus, we went everywhere in this thing during the time we had it. It was also the first truck I got to drive on the road. The reason it got sold was due to some leaks it developed particularly in the front cover area if im not mistaken. It was still completely operable but dad decided to part ways with it. I miss that truck so much, and more importantly the memories that went along with it. It sounded amazing and drove amazing. like stated in your videos and the comments, find one with decent miles, do what needs to be done, and don't second guess it.

Man's acting like it's 1000hp 😂😂😂

Update

Most people also don't realize is that the 6.0l and 6.4l are 4 bolt main motors. The 7.3l was 6 bolt main. The 6.7l also has 6 bolt main. My 2011 6.7l is at 280k and running like a champ. Deleted tuned and a couple bolt ons. Oil coolers are easier to change. Ford factory Fuel pump is bullet proof. Dual coolant system. Biggest issue is cp4 failure to worry about but there is a better fix for that too. Plus its WAY quieter than the last two diesels ford put out.

Its not the 6.4l is a poorly made engine. Its more the components that accompany the engine which are more likely to fail and create other issues from those that lead to taking out the engine. Hot tunes don't help an already inferior component.

Most people don't know that you can stack tune the 6.4l and the 6.0l.

Someone is selling one for 5k 08 but it’s smoking head and loosing power they mentioned is it a go or no body wise look clean

The best way to mitigate the blowby on the 6.4 is to replace the factory piston rings with a aftermarket piston ring that has a gap less 2nd ring. The truck will never know the 2nd gap less ring is in and it will greatly reduce the blowby. From the factory the rings don't seal and have a larger Gap then they really should. It's recommended to also swap the pistons out for a aftermarket. The product rn being recommended to pre-order/purchase is the speed of air ceramic pistons.. they have a good collab with Dave's Auto Center and Speed Lake Jr.

Dress wearing wrestler

I'm looking to buy one for $2200 but it blows smoke when idling. I'm thinking it's the turbo seal? Would anyone know why it throws smoke when idling or when I stop accelerating?

Yawn

I run the MinMax but she is running a low tune and stays on stock I have used the tow setting a few times pulling a trailer through the Canadian Rockies and a couple of times with a heavy load. But she has never been raced. That would be death to these engines want to race to build a race engine. I love it. I let the coolant go low with a leek in the rad that caused a blown front plate but she runs fine. Has 136 K miles and proper servicings

Is resonater on still

Does it have a heads up display for speed

Were the wheels stock? Where can I get these?

have had my 08 since '13 and put almost 100K on it, only issue has been the cross pipe for the turbos/the up pipe cracking. it's fully stock no delete, and I suspect if it was deleted then I would not melt the pipes. but I have a good mechanic so it's not that bad to get things going.

Like the story but why the silly mask?!? Dude… 🙄

The grunt kills me 😂

Prices are crazy even though this video is 2 years old. I got my 08 in 2010 with 28k on it for 28k, a thousand a mile I guess haha. That being said though it was a single cab long box, zf6, 4x4, am/fm radio, roll windows, vinyl floor but that's what I was looking for. Now I have a 2010 same deal but power windows.

Can you change the ambient lighting colors on it??

Thank you for your astute observations and comments. When considering a 2008 F-350 dually with 53K miles in February 2021, my first thought was that this could be a ticking timebomb--BUT it was the least expensive option ($23k during COVID) to replace the capability of my rusted out 1998 1/2 Dodge, 5 speed manual, 24v Cummins dually. All the fluids were changed, HD radiator hoses installed, and it came alive after following the "usual and customary" recommendations on the forums. One Up Offroad traction bars were required to tame the newly induced wheel hop. Oil and filter changes performed every 5K miles since. Last month, at 71K miles, it likewise threw the anticipated PO192 fuel rail pressure sensor code. Not an inexpensive fix, but that has been the only issue in three years. I'll take it.

the entire emissions control system is the basis of 90% percent of the problems.

Can't beat that big block Chevrolet power 😤

The best thing about a 6.4 that's duded up is that no one will want to steal it like the seven threes lol

Good job explaining......I've got my eye on a 2010 xlt scab 6.4 40,000 miles. Old timer selling in Package with 30foot 5th wheel. Please do an update....please.

i have a 08 f350 oh man i love it it feels tough and the quality is amazing. they are worth saving them

It's not just tuned 6.4s that fail catestrophically lol.

I have a 6.4 with 620,000 on it, all factory, i change the oil every 50k and thats it.

ur eambling too much

Great video. I have an 08’ 250 and it’s California stock. 165k and I think I just ruptured my egr cooler. I’d love to delete and time but not possible in Comifornia.

I just got a 2008 f450. I just use it to pull my 5th wheel. I don’t like to run it hard. Can someone tell me a good rpm to pull it to.

how’s the reliability

It's reliable? Should I buy one bellow 45k miles ? 30-42k miles

i have had mine new since 2008, no issues. as long as you put a water filter in it. gotta remember those are sand cast blocks, and the factory does not clean the blocks very good. i have not replaced a water pump and ihave 220000 miles. the water filter i replace opne a month. use water wetter. keeps the water pump clean and the water wetter keep the air bubbles out of the system, i have replaced the turbos with out removing the cab. i love my trucl it is also a a lariat. best pickup i have ever owned. i baby it. i also have a 75 gal spare fuel tank thats plumbed into the main tank. lots of range. as long as you maintain the water system change your oil like clockwork and change your transmission oil every other year. it is a good truck but mine is garage kept. babied not a ding on it.

I bought a 6.4 about a year ago with 72,000 miles on it and I love. I haven't deleted it yet but I want to.

is the m sport package an aftermarket thing to install? and if so does it work on the diesel models?

I have an 07 F350 6.0l DRW, I PURCHASED at 80k on it but it had a brand new factory long block. My 6.0l has been partially bullproofing and c Xdp coolant filtration. Love my dually

I used to work in a ford shop as a lube tech and those things were absolutely hated by all the diesel techs. I remember them saying the 6.0 was gravy and the 6.4 was squash lol

I own a 2008 6.4 with 240,000 my dad owned before I bought it from him only things done was stainless up pipes deleted and tuned and cold air intake and a couple of sensors and I have a actuator starting to act up But the thing I don't like is that the front end components aren't strong enough front has been done twice and had work done in the rear diff besides that stuff love the truck and the power it makes

was it only a rear muffler delete?

I have had my 6.4 since 2008. It’s got 193,000 tuned with a spartan running the 275 tune. It’s been fully deleted, head studded, misimoto radiator, cold air intake, and a lift pump. Other than that I think everything is stock unless I am forgetting something. The biggest problem I have found with these trucks is the damn radiator. I have put 4 or 5 of them in. Yea I have a lifetime warranty with the mishimoto but it gets annoying. Other than that I have loved my 6.4 and don’t plan on getting rid of it. I think it honestly depends on how you treat it and if and when you do the full delete. Truck was a completely different truck after I deleted it and the only reason I waited till 100,000 was my warranty.

I just purchased a 2008 F450 dually with a 6.4, drove it home from northern Michigan in a blizzard and danced all the way home lol. That thing is a MONSTER.

I want to delete mine, and bought a used DPF, and cat to clean out so it looks stock, but is empty. The EGR problem has so far stopped me from doing it.

Mine has 236k on original motor. And still runs great. Mine was also deleted early and has only ever ran a mild tune on it. I did have to put a new built tranny in it and had to replace up pipes and 200k But other than that oil every 5k and fuel filters every 10k. It’s been a good truck over all.

6.4 Is a shit engine end of story

Nice truck man. Mine has 127k on it. Hasn’t had any trouble. Deleted and it stays on stage 1 tow tune. Do you still have yours??

Why delete when you can get DPF cleaned frequently and stay legal?

As a life long diesel mechanic with 17 years experience I would never consider owning a 6.4. But what do I know.....

I agree with mostly what you have said. I have the Minny Max and mine is tuned on mild and is set at stock or tow witch is 40 and 60 extra HP with the delete I got 1/3 better MPG as well there is a HP gain there the stock cold air intake had to be changed it just cheoked the engine it would through the chang air filter warning every time I pulled out to pass. So it's got the S&B kit in it. But according to Bill at Bullit Proof theses engines are all ready advanced tuned so this Minne Max just adds to that and that is where the trouble lies. So keep the tune down like set at mild and running on stock or tow. Should produce more than enough to get in trouble. The low boost fuel was set at 3 out of a possible 5 that gave me what I thought was to much black smoke in stop and go trafic. So I tuned it down to 2 if there is any black smoke in stop and go trafic I don't see it. So sharing the road I feel fine. I mean after the embartasment of regen whose going to complain. I mean really. Keep your intake filter clean. Keep your oil change to 5000 or less use Motor Craft filters open the fuel water separator even in between serveses put good diesel coolent in the rad I use Motor master with the additive. I have had to replace the front plate once its not fun. I love ❤ my 08 6.4 F350 if you can get a set of after market valve covers with the extra oil sprayers in them. I'm looking for a set.

What are those tips
