The 6.4 is a timebomb, ford orphaned that engine because it flat out sucked more than the 6.0 as far as mechanics goes. Ever seen a 6.4 shooting flames out the exhaust? happens quite a bit. 7.3, 6.0 or 6.7, never a 6.4
You talk like a sausage. The 6.4L has turned out to be much better than the 6.0L and certainly less issues. The flaming tailpipe was old news as fast as it started. It doesnt happen quite a bit. The main issues is the DPF choking the engine. I am the exception who runs a 2010, and regularly get 16-17mpg. It is a great engine, and maintenance will solve most issues. Have had several 7.3L's, 6.0L's, and 6.4L's.... all driven high miles each year. No issues except my 2008 6.4L, and that was the fuel bill. This current 2010 kicks them all and will outpull each of my previous. Now,give me a 6.7L.
