Well if I read most of the posts on this forum, I would never have bought one. The 2008, 6.4 that I do own has been excellent. It is a towing machine. With the price of trucks today, I doubt I'll ever replace this one for some time. It currently has 88k miles. Empty it gets 13 mpg, towing it gets 9.5 to 10 mpg. I must have bought one of the few good 6.4 ford trucks out there. :R. Go figure.
x3...bunch of 6.4 haters around here. Not one prob with mine either. love it and wouldnt trade!
I truly wish you the best of luck!
I am sure all the others felt the same before their truck had problems.
The thread "stranded in Huston" comes to mind.
Was that a 6.4? I thought it was a 6.0...
(edit) yeah that was a 6.0

The 6.4 are notorious for rocker arm wear due to fuel dilution (this wear is usually excellerated by the F450/F550 trucks due to higher rpm operation), errosion of the aluminum front engine cover behind the water pump to the point where antifreeze can get into the engine oil because of the large water pump impeller forcing massive water volume, lower EGR cooler can crack and fill the #8 cylinder with antifreeze and hydrolocking the engine. Because of the above mentioned issues, a catastrophic engine failure can be avoided if the operator frequently checks the fluid levels.
I spent some time talking to my cousin this past Christmas who is a Ford and Cummins certified tech he does not recommend the 6.4.
