I have a 2008 f350 shortbox crew cab with the 6.4 litre diesel. Heard lots of bad reviews but Ive done lots of big trips with my camper and my 5th wheel with no major problems. Love it.
Agree 100% and have the same year truck. Mine is an '08 F350 Super cab long box. with the same engine and I have owned it since new. Initially I was having de-rating issues due to the DPF so I went out and bought the H&S Mini Max tuner and deleted. Best move I ever made. Since then the engine and truck have been terrific. religious oil changes and fuel filters (both) and cetane added every fill. Turn off the EGR and I will remove the EGR's this year as well.
Naysayers say I bought the wrong year and I will admit I wish I had the 6.7 for its quiet, but I have more power than I need, get decent mileage (Highway of 14 mpg with the camper on) and no major (or even minor) maintenance so far.
