Experience/Opinion of 6.4L Powerstroke

It's about time that I move into a truck for 5th wheel/GN capabilities so since I am a Ford man who is familiar and used to Ford engines (and their issues) I am looking at the 6.4L and wanted to hear from those who have owned/driven them.

I do read that they had issues with radiators, and either EGR or oil coolers but hadn't heard much else engine wise. I also heard they get poor fuel economy due to regeneration but that is something that can be addressed through deletes and tunes right?

I tried a search for 6.4L but it had no results and a search of "powerstroke" produced 16 pages of results I browsed the first 8 but it was all about either the 7.3L, 6.0L or 6.7L.

Thanks
  • I had an 09 with the 6.4... towed my fifth wheel comfortably . . It did go through regen modes a lot , and I was at the point that I wanted to do a delete but decided to go new instead ..! :B

    No comparison between the 6.4 and the new 6.7 ! Just wanted to toss that out there!
