What do yo know about an 09 6.4 Ford Diesel?
What is the general view of this engine? I know some of the Ford Diesels weren't so good dependability wise!

The 6.4 is an improved 6.0! They have fewer problems than the 6.0, but still higher than normal. The issue with both of these engines is that failures tend to be catastrophic in nature. The failure rate is likely less than 5%, but that is a lot of engines.
I now own my first non Ford truck due to the 6.0/6.4, not worth the gamble to me. I like my simple Six, gets the job done, and this is at 267,000 miles.
Please don't go from that 2000 V10, to a 6.0 or 6.4. If you want to step up to a diesel go to a DMax or Cummins both have a better reliability rating than that 6.4. Those two engines also have the highest maintenance cost of the big three.
