Retired my 6.4
Well after all the trouble I had with my 6.4, I retired my 2008 Ford. It was a good looking truck and did well towing my 5th wheel. But after it started puking coolant, and Ford could not figure out the problem, it was time to say goodbye.
Ford had raised the cab, replaced the left side had gasket. After that didn't fix the problem, they raised the cab again and the Ford tech suggested replacing the right side head gasket, the vertical egr cooler and the horizontal egr cooler. This would raise the total cost to over $8000.00. Needless to say, I told them to button it up and I drove the truck home to retire it. I was able to get away with a $3700 bill!
I'm now the proud owner of a 2016, Ram, Tradesman. I just came home yesterday after driving back to New Mexico to bring the fiver home. The truck towed like a champ. It has the 6.7 diesel, Aisin transmission, 3:73 and a newly installed B & W hitch.
It might not have all the eye candy that my Lariat had, but what a towing machine!
