I know I'm going to start a shite storm, but I'm going to say it anyway. The absolute best thing you can do for the longevity of your 6.4 is to Delete the DPF with a very mild tune, which will also shut the EGR off.
I'm not a delete fan but in this case, the 6.4 has the absolute worst DPF strategy in the history of diesel emission controls.
Unless you want to replace your rockers soon you better take 6.6's advice.
How does the dpf/or egr impact the rockers? I have heard issues with rockers but did not know they were related.
Fords 6.4 pretty much regened whenever they wanted to. It was a bad, bad system. When this happened the fuel would wash down into the sump and dilute the oil into WD40. No matter what Robert Bosch say's diesel fuel is not a good lube. :B
Couple that with Nav's K-Mart stamp steel rockers and you have a recipe for disaster.
I don't know if Ford came up with this dim bulb idea or if it was Nav's stupid idea? (my guess say's it was Nav's?)
Nav's 6.4 junk rockers.
I honestly have yet to get very deep on 6.4s, but from the Ford techs I know and My good bud at NYS DOT, i've gotten the run down on how awful almost everything about them is.
The saying goes as follows. 6.4s run very well for short periods of time.
