Message: [QUOTE="Brett_Stumpf, post: 1229157, member: 19561"] Hey I'm pretty new to this site. So the time has come where my dad is getting rid of his 2008 6.4 and I have the opportunity to buy it. The truck is completely stock with 64,000mi on it. The questions I have is if I do buy it I would like to just leave it stock unless it is better for the truck to do a dpf delete or egr delete or whatever. I know I'm not a big diesel head right now and I don't just want to blow black smoke to be cool. I pull a 30' camper and a skid steer once in a while with my gasser now but now that this truck came up for sale I would like to know some things about the 6.4s. The reason also that I ask these questions is one of my buddys had bought a 08 6.4 from my uncle a couple years ago it had about 80,000 miles on it all stock. And he dpf deleted, tunned some other things not exactly sure but just this winter he blew the motor on it. And the shop that put a new short block in his truck told him the motor blew because the dpf was clogged when it was stock. So all the his being said I just want to know if these are good motors if they are taken care of stock. Or is it best to do a few mods for best reliability. All I want is reliability. [/QUOTE]
