6.4 UPDATE
Well I received word from the Ford garage that my problem is a left side head gasket, NOT an egr cooler. Parts are on order and should re repaired by next Wednesday. Will keep you advised if anything ...

I was faced with this dilemma last year. An injector stuck open, melted a piston and damaged a cylinder. I had to chose between a new truck or fixing the old one. Considering the price of a new truck, I chose to fix my truck. I spent about $16k and that is doing the work myself, but I have it built exactly how I want it.
Wow, $16,000 for the repair and that was doing the work yourself. And, that does not include any other things that can go wrong on an older truck (transmission, differential, electrical issues, suspension issues). That's too rich for me. Guess I will just keep driving my cheap vehicles. But, I'm glad others can afford those types of repairs.
