i like the stiction eliminator from hot shots with my oil

[@ronmcgill1522]

The ford dealership recommend using 15w 30 because the injectors are cooled with oil and they said that 15 W 40 oil is too thick and they believe that that's why the injectors go out on the 6.4 I've been using 15w 30 for 3 years in my diesel pickup now it's got the 6.4 haven't had any problems with it

[@TheTexastngray]

Haven't seen any 15w-30. Maybe the 10w30?

[@johndiazdearce3857]

Did we agree on 10w-30 or 15w-30 I found both online and both are for turbo diesel

[@lukewalton7352]

JOHN DIAZ DE ARCE Go with 15w 30

When I looked at your opening of the video I thought my grandson took a pic and posted it today , because I just finished my PM’s on my 09 SD 6.4 and I use Motorcraft everything ! It sounded like you did the same thing I did to the DPF ! Do you have a H&S or different one ? How often do you change your fuel filter ? I change oil at 7,000 mile and fuel at 14,000 but no one told me how many miles before doing the fuel ! Mine has 135,000 on it and running great , yours sounds great also !

[@TheTexastngray]

I'm running a single tune from H&S currently. I do my fuel filters every 10k miles myself

[@davekimbler2308]

@@TheTexastngray my H&S I believe is a single tune also , 4 settings from turtle to hold on bitch ! Lol. I never knew about the fuel filter and guessed , I was thinking 2x the miles for oil ! Thanks for responding !

[@TheTexastngray]

@@davekimbler2308 yeah Mines on a street tune currently do far its doing good. Oh I'm sure lol and no problem

[@joseph78e4n6]

It's awful that FORD positioned the fuel filter inside behind the 4 wheel drive shaft . I have a tough time with this just after the tank is a nice space for the filter ...

[@TheTexastngray]

Not wrong. Since when I've ventured into the mechanic world and I've gotten those small profile filter sockets and definitely makes it a lot easier but still hate them. The 6.0 I have now is 2wd so thankfully no driveshaft in the way

[@joseph78e4n6]

@@TheTexastngray well , the open space just after the fuel tank would have provided full access . where the fuel lines run . also , the mounting of the fuel filter is lousy . I shuv a piece of wood on top of the filter to brace it . from the torque to remove the cap .

[@ronmcgill1522]

You're right .

Saw a 08 F350 6.4 around 120k miles. It’s completely stock and wants around $15,000 for it. Is it a good deal?? He bought it brand new and had it since then

[@TheTexastngray]

That sounds like a good deal to me

[@twinturbodiezel898]

I just bought the same thing and after searching for a long time that was the best deal I found on the 08 f350 with 6.4

[@ReyezZ]

I just bought an 08 F350 6.4 150k miles for $6000. It doesn’t start tho im trynna get it fixed It was from an auction and the guy ended up putting it on FB market thats how I found it😂

[@codysmith6274]

[@patrickmcguire3673]

hey bud i just thought id ask for some advice! i just bought a 10 6.4 and had no ideal how bad they were i knew the 6.0s were bad, anyways how many miles you have on yours? i see maitinence is key on these things i have no prob with that but have you had many probs? ill be watchin all your vids thx

[@TheTexastngray]

Currently at 164k miles. I put in a new engine at 98k miles. My fault with with heavy foot and a big tune a few times. New engine has head studs and egr delete. I did exhaust, intake and tune on the original engine. After that not really any problems. I do what I can to keep up maintenance on it and that's just me on any vehicle. They aren't terrible trucks but just keep good maintenance on them

What size socket is used for the filter caps? Also does the fuel filter come as a pair or separate?

36mm, come as a pair
