Message: [QUOTE="f350guy, post: 1374906, member: 11669"] I really like my 6.4 and all that, but I would be very leery of trading your known solid vehicle for an unknown with nearly 200k. Not your Duramax for this Powerstroke specifically, but in general. While mine was under warranty new, I had all services performed at Ford and have all of these receipts. I halfed the OCI and performed my own at 5k (and sent oil samples to Blackstone then), then the dealer did it at 10k along with fuel filters. Yes, it cost me a pile more, but whenever I had an issue, there was zero questions for the vehicle to be covered under warranty. I had an EGR cooler poop and something was amiss with the HPFP. If he takes 'extremely good care' of this truck, he should have records out the ass for it like I do. If not, walk away fast. A lifter failure or cracked piston will spiral out of control easily to the tune of $15k plus. Seems to me lifters **** the bed due to oil dilution (in addition to rocker wear)...which is due to the regeneration of the *** and infrequent oil service. I straight piped my truck at 9000 miles after three regens in one tank of fuel. That was enough of that ****. The pipe, an old SCT (with IDP street tune), and EGR block off plates were my only mods for years. Yep, I kept the stock air intake assembly and crushed IC pipe. Discussed this over with the service management and why, they were okay with it as I used the truck for work. In any event, good luck with whatever you choose. [/QUOTE]
